Nike launches special Manchester trainers with worker bee and 0161 branding
These look mint!
A brand new pair of Nike Air Force 1 Lows are being released which are inspired by our very own city.
The new trainers use the iconic Manchester bee logo and they look mint.
The Mancunian worker bee – the coat of arms for our city for over 150 years – can be spotted all over Manchester from buildings to bins, and now it will be on some shiny new Nike shoes.

The Manchester bee represents the city’s hardworking spirit and tireless work ethic, as well as reflecting how the city and the people who reside here have a strong sense of unity.
The worker bee can be found on the side of the heel of the light-tan shoes, with a stamped honeycomb pattern on the medial side.
The bee theme continues on the tongue with a mesh lining loosely resembling honeycomb.
The honey-colour nubuck base has alternating grainy leather panels, with contrasting white midsole and grey rubber outer sole.
Then there’s the famous swoosh in black on the side.

The final nod to our great city is an ‘0161’ tag on the side of the tongue.
Will you be repping a pair around the city?

Although there’s not much info about their release, it’s being reported they’ll be hitting Nike.com in the coming weeks.
They’ll also likely be sold at various retailers around the city, so keep your eyes peeled.
