Sprite used to be just Coca-Cola’s 7-Up, and then the world’s most recognizable brand altered how they were marketing the sparkly lemon-lime drink and co-opted two of the most powerful influences in youth culture: basketball and hip-hop music. Grant Hill pitched the drink for years, followed by Kobe Bryant and now LeBron James, and even before the Zoom LeBron Soldier II Sprite PE, this soda and sneaker culture were on parallel tracks. That’s why it’s so easy to see a 20oz. bottle when you peep this new Nike Air Max 90 in white and grey with royal blue and kelly green accents. These bold primary colors offer a warm look even as the weather decides to do the opposite, and you can grab a pair from Nike Sportswear retailers like Britain’s JD Sports.
