To me, it really looks like something from the Olympics. Its that whole Bird Cage thing I guess. Anyway, here is the scoop on these exclusive sneaker that you can only get at Nike.com or at the US Open in NYC:
Nike is releasing extremely limited-edition footwear to celebrate the Flushing Meadows appearance of Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, the top two players in tennis today. These shoes are expected to sell out fast and are only available at Nikestore.com and the Nike tent at the event site.
The limited edition Nike Air Max Breathe Cage II Men’s Tennis Shoe featuring Rafael Nadal’s iconic logo and special color detailing, offers the latest in Nike’s performance technology for the elite-level player. Designed for power and intense play, this shoe delivers superior breathability, durability and support.

I like them. My money is currently tied up in “The Year of Jordan” and other releases such as the Eggplant Foamposite, those hybrid Footlocker exclusive Air Max Plus Tn x Air Max 360 and those Skytops and those Creative Recreations and not to mention the grown and sexy shoe I need to go with my casual wear and suits… (ok that is a lot of footwear purchasing lol) so I don’t think I will be getting them, but i do believe they are collectibles and would be great on the court.
I should start to play tennis.
First seen on the.LIFE files and also seen on Uncrate.com
