With all the hype surrounding Michael Phelps’ ascension into the Olympic pantheon, some have questioned whether reigning World’s Fastest Man Usain Bolt could rack up a similar medals tally if he ran more different kinds of races. Bolt is untouchable on flat ground over relatively short distances, but similar praise could have been offered for triple crown-winning Chinese hurdler Liu ‘Fly Man’ Xiang at a point earlier this decade. Xiang was unable to defend his 110m gold in Beijing four years ago because of injury, but Nike hasn’t forgotten that about one of China’s greatest athletes is on the hunt to reclaim his crown. The Liu Xiang x Nike LunarGlide+ 4 suggests LX might have something extra left as he approaches another Olympic competition endangered by injury, the familiar China-red hits drawing your eye toward gold just like Liu. Click through to see more of this Liu Xiang LunarGlide 4 and find them now along with the ‘Dream Pack’ Cortez at select Nike Running retailers across China. via FRESHNESS
