Go for the gold (shoes) at Opening Ceremony
Has it been four years already? I guess time really does fly when you’re drinking Bacardi Breezers and watching Xanadu. It seems as though the Olympics are upon us once again, and while my threshold for watching televised sports is usually as low as Nicole Richie’s BMI, the games are always appointment TV for me. Maybe it’s the suspense of competition. Maybe it’s the excitement of watching history in the making. Maybe it’s the men’s gymnastics uniforms. Whatever the reason—I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it.
To celebrate, Opening Ceremony boutiques in New York and
L.A. are stocking super exclusive gear created especially for the 2008 Summer
Olympic Games, including gold and silver metallic versions of Nike’s Air Max 1—the
first sneaker to offer visible Nike Air technology in the sole. The store will
also offer more traditional Olympic souvenir fare including key chains, coin
holders, towels, hats and umbrellas. Just like the Olympics, shoes like these
don’t come around that often, so for even the slimmest chance of getting your
hands on a pair, I’d head over to Opening Ceremony right now.
