On the last day of <strong>National<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Breast Cancer Awareness Month<\/strong> in 2013, take a look back at ten of our favorite silhouettes that have donned panels of pink and the pink BCA ribbon in an effort to raise funds and recognition for Breast Cancer Awareness.<\/p>\n<h2>Nike Air Max Zoom Soldier V &#8220;Kay Yow&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Originally releasing alongside the\u00a0<strong>Nike LeBron 8<\/strong>, the <strong>Nike Air Max Zoom Soldier V <\/strong>features a\u00a0number of design characteristics imported from its signature couterpart, including hidden Dynamic Flywire and a similar tongue and lacing system. Despite shortening the Air Max unit, the silhouette makes up for the loss with a cross ankle strap. Ultimately, the Zoom Soldier V was seen on courts everywhere. Building upon that popularity, the platform was perfect for a\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Kay Yow&#8221;<\/strong> colorway.<strong><br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>APL Concept 3 Pink<\/h2>\n<p>Making a splash in performance athletic footwear,\u00a0<strong>APL (Athletic Propulsion Labs)<\/strong> made a bold statement in support of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, draping their\u00a0<strong>Concept 3<\/strong> silhouette in rose pink. The words &#8220;Hope&#8221; and &#8220;Cure&#8221; also chime in on the insoles of the limited edition sneakers, all sitting atop a translucent blue midsole.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike KD V &#8220;Aunt Pearl&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Taking the toned-down route, the\u00a0<strong>Nike KD V &#8220;Aunt Pearl&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0dons an appropriate pearl white upper, incorporating the ubiquitous pink as a mosaic on the Swoosh. Pink lines the sneaker, in addition to handling the laces, tongue and outsole, keeping the overall theme in check. What&#8217;s more noteworthy is that Kevin Durant actually donned the kicks on court, in memory of his Aunt Pearl.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike Hyperdunk 2013 &#8220;Kay Yow&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Pushing past its predecessor in terms of design and performance, the <strong>Nike Hyperdunk 2013<\/strong> outdoes the 2012 edition despite utilizing similar color blocking. The x-factor is the incorporation of black hits on the inner lining that add another source of contrast on the monochromatic scheme.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>adidas Pro Model 2010<\/h2>\n<p>Rewind the shot clock a few dozen times, and you&#8217;ll be able to recall that the\u00a0<strong>adidas Pro Model 2010<\/strong>\u00a0was the quintessential standard issue team sneaker on the prep and collegiate level. Quite the stage to raise awareness, the BCA version of the Pro Model went above and beyond to put the race for a cure on display, bearing a predominantly pink upper, and the word &#8220;Hope&#8221; inscribed on the side.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike Kobe 8 System &#8220;Kay Yow&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>While Kobe Bryant&#8217;s return is still pending, his upcoming signature sneaker is also on hiatus. In the meantime, fans of the <strong>Nike\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Kobe 8 System<\/strong>\u00a0continue to get looks at new colorways the signature. The month of October brought along the perfect opportunity for the kick to join the cause.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a title=\"Vanessa Bryant's Instagram\" href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/ladyvb24\" target=\"_blank\">@ladyvb24<\/a><br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Under Armour Charge BB \u201cPower in Pink\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>Featuring a sky-high cut, the\u00a0<strong>Under Armour Charge BB &#8220;Power in Pink&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0didn&#8217;t have any problem standing out on the court. Adding pink to the equation for the near calf-high kick pushed the envelope to astronomical heights, figuratively speaking. The\u00a0<strong>Charge BB &#8220;Power in Pink&#8221;<\/strong> gets one of the top spots for Under Armour, stepping out of the box on the design front, while standing up for a good cause.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike Kobe VI \u201cThink Pink\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>Back for the 2010-11 NBA regular season on his quest for an NBA title, Kobe Bryant had another championship ring on his mind. Nike, on the other hand, was thinking pink for the month of October, draping the snakeskin-scale-textured upper in pink, held up by white sections. Not sure if mambas are pink in the wild, but pink did the underrated Kobe VI good.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike KD IV \u201cAunt Pearl\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>More love for Aunt Pearl was shown on the\u00a0<strong>Nike KD IV<\/strong>. Arguably the best KD signature in the line, the colorway holds one of the top spots simply for the shoe&#8217;s creative design despite a lower price point, in addition to homage paid to a battler of the illness, while bringing awareness to the cause.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike LeBron VII \u201cThink Pink\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>Design, innovation, inspiration&#8230;the <strong>Nike\u00a0LeBron VII<\/strong> delivered on all fronts. Debuting alongside a predominantly black colorway, this variation stood out simply because of its overall clean look. There was no need to overdo it on the pink, and Nike went the right route, leaving the BCA hue to the accents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the month of October serving as a 31-day reminder of the ongoing fight against breast cancer, sneaker brands have&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4665,"featured_media":344655,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[618],"tags":[1204337,1214560,1207816,1225789,1225805,363808,1211717],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Power of Pink: 10 of Our Favorite Breast Cancer Awareness Sneakers | Snkrs Day<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Where to buy Power of Pink: 10 of Our Favorite Breast Cancer Awareness Sneakers shoes.
