Vivian Stringer, NFL great Jerry Rice, skateboarder Theotis Beasley, track star Brianna Rollins and Ghanian soccer player Kevin-Prince Boateng.
The Black History Month collection will go on sale on Nike.com and in stores on Jan. 17, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Ever Higher Fund, which uses sports to benefit underserved children.
