NIKE To Donate Proceeds From Air Force 1 Songs to Baltimore Boys & Girls Clubs

Another reason why we love NIKE....

"As part of its continuous efforts to support youth sport programs, all NIKE and artists' proceeds from the sale of the original Air Force 1 song "Classic -- Better Than I've Ever Been" will go to the NIKE Youth Sport for Change Fund to support two chapters of Baltimore's Boys & Girls Club of America -- Jackson Unit Boys & Girls Club of America and The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club of America.

The song, which was released in February as part of Nike's 25th year anniversary celebration of the Air Force 1 and can be purchased exclusively on iTunes, features award winning hip hop artists Kanye West, Nas, Rakim and KRS-ONE and was produced by hip hop producer DJ Premier."

"Known for the pivotal role it played in the popularity of the Air Force 1, Baltimore is home to three of the original Air Force 1 retailers.....the love for the Air Force 1 took the form of a groundswell of support that emerged in the early 80s and eventually spread all over the world. The presence of the shoe on all sides of town turned the AF1 into Baltimore's shoe of choice, a revolutionary footwear product that spoke volumes about the city's love for basketball and made Baltimore a key player in the subsequent resurrection of the Air Force 1 and the flourish of basketball culture."(Read More...)

Fans can also go to iTunes and purchase another Nike song "The Second Coming" by Juelz Santana.

See Hip Hop can be positive.

Enjoy the Fireworks!!!!!!
