This “Land of the Free” Olympic Collection from Nike was inspired by their sponsored American athletes and their supporters. Included in the small capsule collection are: a Nike Blazer, Flyknit Racer and slimmed down Air Force 1. Each one of the sneakers features a custom tongue tag, with “United States of America” or “USA” scribed on it. Here’s what Nike had to say:
Years of preparation and training, driven forward by the thrill of the win, an athletes’ success in competition is as much about the desire to win as it is the equipment that helps an athlete perform at the highest level.
Holding fast to the belief – Performance is the highest virtue, but style should never be sacrificed, Nike designers looked to an athlete’s equipment needs for every occasion. Bringing together the best of Nike innovations from its performance basketball and running, training, and lifestyle collections, iconic Nike silhouettes come together as unique looks ideal for travel, training, downtime between competition, and ultimately mounting the medal stand. via: EU
