Here we feature the Air Jordan Olympia - White / Metallic Gold - Varsity Red which was released on August 8, 2008 to coincide with the start of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. They sport a white leather upper along with gold and red accents, which are inspired by the Chinese Flag colors. Originally call the Olympian, the purpose of this shoe was solely for use by participants in the Olympics but Jordan Brand decided to go ahead and release them to the public. They feature many similarities to the Air Jordan 10 (X), including the overall silhouette, and the design on the outsole. Other specifications include a semi inner bootie, light weight design, a contour heel foam package, full length Zoom Air insole, compression molded phylon midsole, and a midfoot TPU shank. They are now available at retailers.
