Known to celebrate the Olympics with sneaker releases, Nike has dropped yet another goodie in anticipation of Rio 2016. This medal of a shoe comes with a full-perforated leather upper in metallic gold, while the laces, tongue, inner liner and outsole do not escape the generous golden glaze. A welcomed contrast is provided by touches of white along the midsole and tongue to the otherwise dazzling design. To finish things off, the company’s signature heel branding feeds into the sporting theme. Purchase a pair before the games start at select Nike stockists such as Rock City Kicks for $100 USD.
