Remember when Nike launched their Air Max 1 Ultra City collection in April last year, and they were wrapped in floral prints that were symbolic to six cities? Everyone wanted a pair because those sneakers were downright pretty.

If you didn't manage to score something from that collection, here's a second chance to prettify your feet. Nike has just released the "Cherry Blossom" Pack, which pays homage to Japan's celebrated Hanami festival where hordes of tourists and locals flock to the country to witness cherry blossoms in bloom during Springtime.

The cherry blossom print will be splashed across three of Nike's classic silhouettes: the Nike Roshe Run, Nike Classic Cortez, and the Nike Toki. To capture the image of cherry blossoms against the sky, the colours white, pastel blue and pink were used.

We're also liking the subtle translucent Swoosh that Nike has applied to these shoes -- ensuring that the cherry blossoms, not its branding, stay as the main focus.

And unlike many of Nike's limited edition sneakers, these three silhouettes are exclusive to women and will therefore finally be available in our size. Ladies, what are you waiting for?

The "Cherry Blossom" Pack is available now and prices range from $65 to $85.
