"Like every year, Nike celebrates diversity in sport and launches the 2018 BETRUE&nbsp;collection, inspired by the LGBTQ community.\nThe new project includes a selection of clothing items (t-shirts, running socks, sunglasses, hat) and four sneakers: Nike Air Max 270, Nike Vapormax Plus, Nike Zoom Fly, Nike Epic React Flyknit.\nThere are two characteristics, both symbolic references in the LGBTQ culture: the lavender color and the pink triangle.\nThe first represents the fusion of light blue and light pink, conventionally gender-related hues. The second, originally used to identify LGBTQ individuals during the Second World War, was recovered in the 1970s by pro-gay activists and later adopted by the AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power (ACT UP) in their memorable campaign \"Silence = Death \"of the 80s.\nRainbow hints on the translucent upper complete the color scheme of the shoes.\n\nThe BETRUE 2018 collection will be available on June 6 online&nbsp;and in select stores globally."
