Nike has joined forces with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum to create a compelling apparel collection that seeks to showcase some of the great teams of the last days of Negro League baseball. The collection honors the passion, pride, and perseverance embodied by a league whose contributions to our national pastime are immense-and whose stories are too seldom told.

There are some hot products on the site inspired by the original Negro league teams like the New York Cubans, Chicago Giants, Kansas City Monarchs, and Homestead Grays. Also on the site is an interview with Buck O’Neil who played with the Kansas City Monarchs way back in 1938.

Above is a photo of the New York Cubans AF1 Premium LE.
