Definitely some of the most visually striking shoes to be inspired by the Beijing Olympics, these Air Force 1’s definitely deserve the Supreme status, being primarily metallic gold with Chinese-inspired patterning lasered onto a large portions of the shoe. With solid use of black to break up the gold, these Air Force 1’s are definitely going to be hot collectors’ items, and one of the more enduring sneakers inspired by this year’s Olympics. These shoes come in a nice wooden box, with 08-08-08 inscribed on the top, commemorating the start date of the Beijing Olympics on August 8th, 2008. From packaging to the shoes themselves, this is definitely a sick drop from Nike.
