As the days draw nearer until the Super Bowl 50, American sportswear brand Nike has released three pairs of gold medal-themed sneakers in a tribute to the exciting championship game.
To celebrate the 50th edition of the Super Bowl, Nike has refashioned a pair of Air Trainer 1s, Nike Free 3.0 V4s and Ultra XTs. Each sneaker is a silhouette most Nike fans can recognize with a brand new colorway that is quite glamorous. While the new editions of the Air Trainer 1s and the Ultra XTs are outfitted in matching gold medal-themed colorways, the Nike Free 3.0 V4s are designed with reflective laces and don a metallic, gold and silver colorway.
While the Super Bowl 50 takes place on February 7th, 2016, these sneakers are expected to drop late January 2016.
