Although the 2008 Olympics are still a year away, country inspired footwear has started to surface such as these upcoming Great Britain inspired adidas Superstars. The shell toe for many years has been the poster child of adidas and makes for a worthy representation. The sneaker features a predominately white upper with red stripes and blue accents. The heel tab includes the Union Jack, while an embossed ‘GBR’ logo is seen on the heel.

Sneaker Freaker recently posted pictures regarding the upcoming release of the Nike Air Zoom Tre Safari. The Safari features a colorway based off of the Nike Safari 87. A lot of details have made the jump from the OG to the new age Zoom Tre such as ostrich print and the classic tan accents. The use of blue thread for embroidery provides a great bit of pop and does a great job of adding to the sneaker. Aside from the release of the Zoom Tre’s, Nike SB is also set to release a matching cap, a belt, iPod case, wallet, tee and jacket.
