Nike Uses Olympic Rings for Color Inspiration.

21mercer_lunaracer.jpgI didn’t post soon enough my warning about being influenced by the Beijing colors. But in truth Nike has used the colors sparingly thus well. Their LunaRacer (pictured) are found exclusively in Nike’s new 21 Mercer Street store in New York’s Soho district which opened August 22.

So I won’t despair too much. If you have to use the colors, this is one way to do it so one is not blinded by it. Also shown are jackets with the colorways….for further information on the shoes, Nike’s store opening, and other product found there visit Coolhunter.

    Hi Kim,
    It’s been a while, I know. I needed a vacation. Anyway, hope you’re doing fine. As for the Olympics, as a former swimmer, all I can say: gosh, those swimsuits by CDG were amazing. Want one! In fact, I wish I had one when I was was swimmer.
    Keep up the good work, Kim, and all my best,
    Marko

    Hey Marko, good to hear from you. I hope you’ve been having a great time whatever you’ve been doing.

    Thought about you recently with the Georgia thing..

    Glad to see you back on OTR, hope we’ll see more of you. I know what you mean about the swimming suits and Rei Kawakubo…and didn’t they look great in them!
