Cool Hunting
Nike continues to keep us on our toes. The Be True City Collection has undergone some last minute changes and CH has all the insider info including release date and retail locations.
If you want to represent your city, you are going to have to embrace a new color:
New York - Pine Green (pictured above)
Los Angeles - Orange Blaze (pictured left)
Sao Paulo (changed from Rio) - White
Tokyo - Red
Hong Kong - Varsity Royal
London - Varsity Purple
Paris - Varsity Maize
Each color was carefully selected depending on the respective city and this is the first time Nike created a collection in a solid color with the highlighted piping.
They will drop on 9 February 2008 around the globe. U.S retailers are listed after the jump. You better get in line now if you want to sport these.

At only 600 square feet, the space feels...

A.P.C., the label beloved the world over for its understated Parisian style, opens its doors in the West Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles today.
