Nike Sportswear worked with Lance Armstrong and Starks laces to create a Zoom Tiempo inspired by Lance’s hometown of Austin, Texas. The Air Zoom Tiempo TZ draws inspiration directly from the cyclists of Austin and one of the city’s most iconic cycling stores, Mellow Johnny’s. The shoe also draws inspiration from the art bikes created to help raise funds and awareness for the Lance Armstrong Foundation this Summer. Finally, it takes the iconic LIVESTRONG yellow and integrates it throughout the design of the shoe.

Highlighted features include: Soft premium oiled leather with aggressive anti-abrasive materials, black contrast stitching, “Texas” and “Austin” shoe heel details, contrasting yellow and black sockliners, and Starks collaborative shoe laces with black tips.

The Air Zoom Tiempo Austin Texas will be available at select Nike Sportswear retailers (Mellow Johnny’s and 21 Mercer) on October 24th, 2009. Its re-introduction in the global market, together along with the other three shoes collaborated with cyclists from Paris, Berlin and San Francisco is scheduled in early November.

    I think this is a gross misrepresentation of the “Austin Cyclist”, if indeed that’s what this project is looking to do. First of all, as with any town that prides themselves on a rather friendly cycling community, there’s no simple way of encompassing, with any accuracy, all the variations of cyclists in this town. Also, Mellow Johnny’s has been open for maybe a year and a half, hardly making it one of the “iconic” bike shops in town. Please do some research before making a bold, and ungrounded, claim like that…
