Nike 1984 Tier 0 Olympic Pack by Josh Rubin
With the Beijing Olympic Games just around the corner, it's only fitting that Nike release a pack of sneakers celebrating various Chinese Olympic Athletes from the past. Featuring traditional Chinese colors with some Olympic accents, I especially like the Air Max 1 version.
Other silhouettes in the pack include the Blazer Low, Dunk Trainer High, Vintage Nylon Cortez, Court High Force and Wildwood90 Free Trail (images after the jump). This release will be especially hard for Westerners to get their hands on because Nike China will be given priority access. Maybe you'll see Chinese Olympic hero Liu Xiang in a pair sometime soon.
A few Tier 0 accounts outside the Far East, namely UNDFTD LA, will have a small allotment ready to drop tomorrow, 23 February 2008.

Zoom Stefan Janoski SB: Designer James Arizumi Interview and Sketches
One of the most well-respected pro skaters in the biz, Stefan Janoski finally got his own long-overdue shoe with Nike SB. In keeping with his relaxed, nonchalant skate style, the Zoom Janoski is a clean, comfortable and functional shoe. Nike's second signature model, it's a marked departure from their first—a Paul Rodriguez shoe which is more beefy and athletic-looking, again following P-Rod's skate style....
