Well they aren’t exactly what I pictured, but there’s no denying that Nintendo and Nike’s NES Air Max kicks do bring back thoughts of the dull and boring old school Nintendo Entertainment System.

Featuring two tones of gray and a reddish/orange stripe, only the hardcore sneaker heads will notice the subtle reference to the Start button. But I say that anyone who doesn’t get it isn’t really worth me talking to anyways since we’re pretty big Nike freaks around the office.

They’re out now so go grab a pair if you’re lucky because collectors go nuts for these types of shoes!!

The whole collection is inspired by the technically sick and crazy Beijing National Stadium. Dubbed the “Bird’s Nest” stadium, the releases all feature various elements from the wired design to the eight-sided octagon construction. Get ready, August 8th is the day to start copping. We already got our pre-orders in!! Continue reading Nike Air Max Beijing 2008 Collection Preview….and WG is very very happy!!!
