UNDERCOVER’s Jun Takahashi recently debuted a collection of athletic apparel for the 2016 Rio Olympics and now the Japanese designer just dropped an Olympics-Inspired Free RN Flyknit for his NikeLab GYAKUSOU line. Although the commemorative sportswear garments in the “Rio in Reverse” capsule tout a more vibrant palette, Takahashi slaps this Flyknit pair with a muted color scheme that is inherent throughout past collaborations with the Swoosh. Each pair features GYAKUSOU branding on the insoles, a Flyknit upper with Flywire support as well as an innovative Nike Free sole.

The GYAKUSOU Free RN Flyknit is expected to release first at the Nike Ipanema store in Brazil on August 4 and will hit select retailers globally on August 18.
