Nike is launching a collection of shoes with a unique design twist, the company announced on its website on Wednesday.
The Air Max 90 City Pack will feature five colorways of sneakers designed to represent iconic professions in five major cities.
The cities represented in the collection include New York City, London, Shanghai, Paris, and Tokyo. Each pair has specific design elements that correspond to the chosen profession for each city. For example, the New York City sneaker pays homage to the uniform of the New York City Fire Department with a reflective side swoosh and screws on the back of the heel to represent a fireman's hat.
The collection will be released on the Nike app and in each represented city on January 30.
Here's a look at five designs:
LONDON: Postmen and Postwomen
This shoe is designed to represent the men and women of London's postal service, inspired by the uniform jacket.
The shoe features an emblem resembling a stamp on the tongue, with an image of Nike's cofounder Bill Bowerman.
NEW YORK CITY: Fire Department
A reflective swoosh on the side of the shoe is inspired by the firefighter uniform.
The heel pays homage to old firefighter hats with screws in the side.
PARIS: Bakers
The mostly white shoe represents the typical uniform of a baker. A "Baked Fresh Daily" liner in the sole further relates to the profession.
The heel of the shoe features the colors and signage of the French flag.

The tongues of the sneakers are styled to look like receipts.
