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.

The kicks are hot, but the work of Tattoo and graffiti artist Mister Cartoon photographer Estevan Oriol is even better....
Generic Man Sportman Sneakers
My latest sneaker purchase, the Sportsman by Generic Man, have all the aesthetic qualities of a great sneaker with high-end materials and production methods to match. Using an almost imperceptibly subtle faux reptile skin (textured white Italian leather) and handmade in Portugal, the look perfectly toes the line between dress and sport. (Click images for detail view.) Based in Los Angeles with a small...
Nike Be True City Collection
The folks responsible for starting the whole limited-edition trend are at it again with the Nike Be True City Collection. Continuing to torture their customers with skinny releases, only be 86 pairs of each color will be available in seven select cities—New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Rio de Janiero. After that you're gonna have to comb eBay. I haven't...
Nike+ Supersonic
We've always respected the way Nike maintains sport culture as one of their core values and their upcoming Supersonic race puts those values at the forefront of their marketing efforts by throwing a party requiring at least some athleticism to enter. If you think you're fast and quick—fast would be a 1k race, quick would be a 100m sprint—you'll need to be both in...
