Nike Air Force 180 Olympic Summer 2016 Retro 01

Charles Barkley dominated international play when he suited up for the Dream Team back in 1992 and 1996. Chuck was not only the team’s leading scorer but put up a ridiculous shooting percentage – over 70% from the field – meaning he basically could do whatever he wanted on the court against worldly opponents. He did so lacing up the Nike Air Force 180, one of the loudest Olympic-themed sneakers released at the time thanks to a gold gradient on the midsole and splashes of navy and red throughout the upper. The chunky silhouette featured a lockdown midfoot strap, visible air, and a sleek neoprene on the heel and tongue for a truly unique look. Since it’s an Olympic year, Nike is bringing back the iconic Olympic colorway later this summer. This Chuck classic is available right now internationally and will hit stateside stores July 7th for $140 USD.

Update: The Nike Air Force 180 “Olympic” releases on July 20th, 2016 for $140.
