As stated above, this pair celebrates the power of “family and community”. Surely, there is no better way to unite Latin Americans than the power of football. Football (or soccer, depending on where you live), serves as a uniting, inclusive game in an area with diverse cultures, languages, and people. The Nike Air Max 90 “Familia” honours Latin America’s variety and enthusiasm via the imaginary team of Club Atletico Familia.
