NIKE AKRIBIS (2008 OLYMPICS)Published: Apr 8th, 2008
Sneaker Freaker is just one of the global media invited to Beaverton this week to peep the new Olympic footwear and apparel range. There's a few highlights from Day One that really took our breath away, but the unexpected sucker punch was that there are now Nike models specifically designed for ALL sports... yep, that's ALL sports, every single one, even the weird pursuits such as sailing, archery, badminton, horse riding and weightlifting! And wait til you see the BMX stuff! Along with a gaggle of assorted media and more cameras than Tim Sha Tsui, we viewed the initial onslaught today and absorbed several presentations from key Nike staffers as well as a Q& A with a witty and entertaining Kobe Bryant, talking mainly about the craziest ball shoe we've seen for yonks, the new Hyperdunk. Given the timelines, we don't have time for in depth analysis right now, but we thought we'd whet your appetite with some of the more obscure discoveries. For a full report, clock sneakerfreaker later this week.
In the meantime, here's the full
PR blurb for this shoe!
