New Nike Long Island Sneaker Sells Out



WANTAGH, NY (AP)  -- It may be the perfect attire for a stroll on the boardwalk.

LISTEN: Sophia Hall reports on this exclusive sneaker
   
Nike's latest version of its Air Force 1 sneakers pays homage to Long Island's landmark Jones Beach.
   
The sand-colored canvas and leather shoe features the Jones Beach water tower on the tongue. A map of Long Island is emblazoned on the light-blue sole. Inside is the phrase "Strong Island.''
   
The Air Force 1 model was the first to feature cushioned, inflatable pouches in the heel.
   
Built in 1929, Jones Beach State Park draws some 6 million people annually to its 6.5 miles of ocean beach and 2-mile boardwalk.

Parks spokesman George Gorman called the citation "a terrific honor for a world-class facility.''

Nike only made 516 pairs of the shoe, an homage to Long Island's area code and the shoe quickly sold out at most retailers.
