Three years before Nike released the first Air Force Ones, the Big East was formed by seven teams to primarily focus on basketball. Teams currently in the Big East account for 40 all time Final Four appearances and 10 National Championships, numbers only surpassed by the Big Ten and Pac-10 respectively. 15 of the Big East’s 16 teams (or 93%) have been to the Final Four, by far the most of any conference.
Nike made the Coast to Coast Package of Nike Air Force 25s for each NBA city across the continent. Now, Nike has made the “Be True” Package, unofficially known as the Big East Package. This package has 16 shoes for the 16 teams of the basketball powerhouse conference. With March Madness just about to begin, now is a good time to get a pair to cheer on your favorite team this month.
