Your author has wondered on more than one occasion when Nike would take upon themselves the responsibility of cleaning up the aesthetically-abhorrent world of Mixed Martial Arts, and it appears that Beaverton has been thinking about it at least as long. Capitalizing upon the research data gained during the leadup to the 29th Summer Olympiad last August in Beijing, China, the Swoosh has designed the Martial Arts TD to compliment any and all sanctioned combat. Features like layered leather uppers, oversized toecaps and a wider sole with 45 degree treads makes this an excellent choice for kickboxing, grappling and everything in between. These kicks (literally) are available at MMA specialty retailers like Japanese superstar Caol Uno‘s UCS. Thanks to our fam at Freshness for this exclusive piece of Sneaker News.
