Nike launched the KD 5 GS 'Black History Month' sneakers in January 2013, as a notable addition to its Black History Month (BHM) collection, which also featured signature shoes from legendary athletes Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. These sneakers, marking their on-court introduction on the revered Martin Luther King Jr. Day, effectively pay homage to this significant holiday through an appealing African-inspired geometric pattern adorning the upper in anthracite, accompanied by a distinctive BHM emblem situated on the inner heel. The overall design is further enhanced with vibrant orange laces, inner lining, and midsole, ultimately completing the striking aesthetic of the sneakers.
