Many of you might know that Futura is a huge baseball fan. Recently he worked with Nike Sportswear on a New York Yankees collection, including two Air Force 1 Hi’s and two Lo’s, as well as an apparel collection. The people from 12ozProphet sat down with the artist to talk about the project and give a closer look at the collection.

“In case you don’t already know, Futura is a massive baseball fan and has frequently collaborated with Nike over the years, so bringing him on board once again for this latest Be True installment was a natural fit. The result is a capsule collection released by Nike Sportswear in cooperation with the New York Yankees. The collection is inspired by a genuine love for sport and showcases an entirely new remix of Yankees graphics, slogans and iconography released on both apparel and footwear.”
