234 years ago on July 4th, 1776, the Continental Congress adopted the United States Declaration of Independence declaring the thirteen American colonies then at war with Great Britain independence from the British Empire, thus creating the United States. As the birthday of the United States of America, the Fourth of July, formally known as Independence Day, is one of the largest celebrated holidays. Big cities and small towns across the nation host parades, carnivals, barbecues, ceremonies, fireworks and a ton of other special events to honor our independence and freedom.
To mark this special day we put together 13 Sneakers Honoring Independence Day. While there’s a boatload of red, white and blue sneakers on the market which would go great with any patriotic outfit you may be planning to wear, we narrowed the lineup down to 13 releases designed specifically for Independence Day. The lineup includes 9 sneakers for the guys and 4 for the ladies spread out across 11 pages. To check out the first sneaker continue reading below, then make your way through the rest of the pages.
There’s two things well expected in the sneaker world when it comes to 4th of July-themed releases. American flags and American colors. No matter how much either of the two are reused you really can’t argue given the time of year and what it means to our country. For their 1997 release of the Air Force 1 Mid CL “Independence Day” Nike went with the traditional USA color scheme using White, Varsity Red and Midnight Navy on an upper mixed from glossy leather and pebbled leather. Being a late 90′s releases this AF1 Mid has the jewel Swoosh, one of my favorite elements on the old Air Force 1′s. Bring back the Jewels, Nike!!!
