Nikon photographers can soon match their hot shoe slot covers with their camera strap in an upcoming, colorful, special edition launch from Nikon.

Nikon USA has unveiled a limited edition NYC Salt x Nikon camera strap collaboration inspired by New York City youth. The launch comes with the news of the camera brand’s continued support for NYC Salt, a non-profit helping New York City youth through visual arts and related career paths.

The limited edition launch comes in six different patterns and includes a strap as well as a matching hot shoe cover. The straps will be sold exclusively from Nikon’s US webstore for about $70. Nikon will also include a free strap with the purchase of a Nikon Z5 II from the official webstore beginning on March 26.

The Beam design "is about light liquefying into glow. The city doesn’t shine, it blurs. It’s restless, slipping between moments, always escaping the frame."

The Crossings design is "about those fleeting moments when we cross paths beneath the city and above it. Our journeys briefly intertwine along the same routes, destinations separate but our lives momentarily connected in transit."
