Are you ready for an onslaught of red, white and blue sneakers as we approach the 2012 London Summer Games this August? This year’s been heavy on ‘Year of the Dragon’ looks in the early going, but once the Chinese Zodiac flips forward, the Games of the XXX Olympiad present a huge opportunity for marketing for the major footwear and apparel brands. This new drop from Nike Sportswear isn’t exactly your traditional USA(B) colorup, but there’s no denying that with the context of this huge quadrennial event, we’re likely to see stars and bars all over this Nike Air Max 95. The all-over Obsidian suede build is a nice alternative to the tiered and patent-accented AM95 we showed you Monday; they’re relatively calm when compared to that pair’s glossy shine, but it’s also a bold look that packs a major punch for your springtime sneaker rotation. Click through for more shots, then grab them from NSW sellers like Oneness.
