Nike Air Max 1 Essential Olympic

The Olympics aren't taking place until 2016 but that doesn’t mean that we can’t rep our set in the meantime. If you’re looking for a patriotic option that is still stylish, Nike’s got a pair of kicks on deck that are perfect for you.

While Rio De Janeiro, Brazil will be playing host to the 2016 Summer Olympics, the Nike Air Max 1 is playing host to the USA colorway and it’s holding down the set lovely as usual. A white leather upper serves as the base while a navy mesh toe and lining is dotted with a red air bubble and branding. Golden accents on the swoosh and lace tips crown the look in a most fitting form, making it officially a gold medal winner.

You don’t have to wait until August of next year rolls around to scoop these up because shops like KITH currently have them in stock. It would be hard not to feel like a winner when you're wearing a pair of these.
