Nike paid tribute to the month of June with a new collection full of colors entirely dedicated to the LGBTQIA+ community.

The main protagonist of the celebration will be Gilbert Baker, designer and creator of the now famous eight-coloured striped flag in 1948. The eight original colours (with pink and blue frequently omitted) that appear on the flag contain in them the true meaning of the symbol (pink-sexuality, red-life, orange-healing, yellow-sunlight, green-nature, turquoise-magic, blue-serenity, violet-spirit) and this year, for the first time, they will all be featured on garments and sneakers of the collection.

The entire Nike 2019 BETRUE Collection will be available from Tuesday, June 3, online and in-store.
