As the years have gone by, the hype surrounding the packs has only increased, with a number of sought after releases. During that time, Nike has released a number of slick gay pride sneakers. It's lovely that they've finally joined the party, even if they're about three years late. Nike has been running its BeTrue campaign since 2012. Adidas' shoe is white with paint drippings. Converse even went so far as copying Nike's exact model from 2012, creating a different shoe to represent pride in different cities. This year Adidas and Converse have also gotten in the act. "We're rallying the world to embrace #BETRUE as a call-to-action for all athletes to be their most authentic selves in June and all year long." "Nike is deeply committed to diversity, inclusion and unleashing the potential of all athletes," said Tim Hershey, Vice President of Global Merchandising for Nike and Executive Advisor to Nike's LGBT Employee Network. Nike and the Coalition will host the fourth annual LGBT Sports Summit in Portland next week. Part of the proceeds of the #BeTrue line will go to fund the LGBT Sports Coalition. That shouldn't be a big surprise, given both Jason Collins and Brittney Griner are Nike spokespeople. This year's line also features the first #BeTrue basketball shoe. It will also be available at various Pride festivals and Nike stores across the country. However, you'll have to wait until Friday, June 5, to order your #BeTrue merchandise on. This year Nike is blowing out the line with many more shoe options, T-shirt designs and hats. Today Nike released its annual #BeTrue line to celebrate Pride Month. The Nike BETRUE Collection will arrive online on June 5th, 2015 and features a number of new footwear releases in an effort to support the LGBT community.
