Sports companies, athletes and fans are in the midst of gearing up for the 2016 Rio Olympics. Through the trove of partnership announcements and limited-edition products, SGB is always on the lookout for stunning Olympic-themed pieces made with care and craft.
Enter the Brooks Running custom kicks for their Olympic running squad.
While Hansons-Brooks Runner Desiree Linden and Brooks Beast Decathlete Jeremy Taiwo prepare to compete against the world’s greatest next month at the Olympic championships, Brooks Running took the opportunity to do what they do best— come out with wicked cool colorways on old favorites to commemorate the achievement of its athletes.
Brooks made patriotic versions of these athletes’ competition shoes: a custom Hyperion for Des, Joe and Greg, and a red, white and blue The Wire 4 for Jeremy’s 1,500-meter run.
The red, white, blue and gold Hyperion features each athlete’s name stitched in gold on the heel as well as their name on the lace eyelets along with a custom sock insert for each one of them. Jeremy’s special The Wire 4 is color-blocked red, white and blue with white stars and gold Brooks logo.
