Two ladies sneakers from Nike make up the Fourth of July Pack - the Air Max 97 Zen and a Dunk High.
Using the red, white and blue to celebrate Independence Day, the Dunk features white leather, along with breathable side panels, and Varsity Royal blue on the back portion of the shoe. The contrast of the Varsity Red sole and the blue stitching is a great touch on these shoes.
The Air Max 97 Zen features a White, Dark Marina Blue and Varsity Red colorway. These sneakers are mostly white but have the red and blue accents. If you are a fan of this model, these are a simple, yet nice choice.
You can find both of these Nike Women’s shoes right now at local Nike retailers. Have a safe, happy and stylish Fourth of July! Via Kicks on Fire.

The word “Commitment” usually does not conjure a physical place. Instead, in most people’s definition, it is an act of promise, obligation, selflessness, and determination. But for the people at Nike Basketball, Commitment is an actual place, a tangible space at the heart of Harlem, New York, where past stories of the USA Men’s Basketball Team are immortalized. It is a living tribute to the current members of the team, whose stories still left unwritten. And come next Thursday, July 10th, you can visit to see this one of the kind exhibition.
