The Air Jordan 1 can perhaps be described as one of the most influential sneakers of all time, and the Olympics are most likely the most important sporting event of all time. While both of those statements may be contested by some, there is no doubt that the previous Air Jordans with an Olympic theme have been some of the best in the brand’s history. Now, the famous Air Jordan 1 is finally seeing its debut in an Olympic colorway, which should definitely meet with widespread approval from all. Nice metallic accents definitely give these Air Jordan 1′s some visual flair, and tie in to the Olympic medal theme nicely; the patriotic colorway is a nice nod to the efforts of Team USA in the Olympics, particularly the basketball team. The days of the “Dream Team,” home of the famed Michael Jordan, the namesake of these shoes, maybe be gone, but the spirit of Team USA lives on at Beijing. While this summer has definitely seen a number of Olympic themed releases, these Jordans are undoubtedly among the best of them; expect them to drop this September. Via Niketalk.

i could go without the logo on the heel, and theres too much white in my opinion……im tired of the same olympic colorways being the same schemes or laid out the same way….they should reinvent the way the colors are used on the shoes……
