Having already paid tribute to South Korea and Australia, Air Presto's legendary silhouette has been chosen in September 2020 to celebrate Nigeria. The breathable and close-fitting mesh upper is colored in Pine Green and is decorated with tribal motifs that recall the uniforms of the Nigerian national football team. The TPU cages that support the feet are also green but in a pastel shade that features the word "Naija" on the heel. The midsoles are wrapped in an intense black on which a bright green Swoosh stands out.
But what does Naija mean? The word was coined by the country's youth as a way to distance themselves from the old guard and wants to represent an optimistic state of mind according to which anything is possible, even when things are tough.
