NIKE have created a trendy new trainer inspired by Glasgow.
And the US sportswear giants even opted to use a bright orange tongue in tribute to the iconic traffic cone always on the Duke of Wellington statue in the city centre.
The shoe - titled Air Max 90 - is a collaboration with online group The Basement.
In the official description, it states the design is paying tribute to Glasgow's "rebellious, joyous, forward-thinking community, continuously evolving and defying expectations".
It will be released on October 5 and will cost £140.
Nike will sell it in its stores along with other retailers like END, Sneakersnstuff and Selfridges.
There is also a video advert which sees an actor climbing up the Duke of Wellington statue and driving a car whilst waving a Saltire.
The launch pictures got over 7,000 likes on Instagram just hours after they were posted.
