Nike AF1- Olympic Closing Ceremonies

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.

Nike China BMX Blazer X Michael Lau

Hong Kong-based famous artist and toy designer, Michael Lau, worked with Nike to come up with this very unique China BMX Blazer. The shoes come in “Chinese” colors with yellow all around and red shoelaces and insole. It has great details such as the flares of the sun drawn on the sides, and the year 20-08 on the left and right shoe separately. It comes with a vinyl biker figure and his bike, all in a special box that seems to be covered with dirt. No word on when this will be released but stayed tuned for more details.
