This Color Shift option restored my Nike Air Force High faith and it even ties in nicely to Mamba s last All-Star run, since DeRozan is the perfect player to ever lead a Kobe Brand down the line. You know, passing the torch and all that good stuff. With the 2016 Rio Olympics Opening Ceremony just a few short days away, it s time for everybody to start representing in the colors of their country of residence and/or origin. With everybody in the US understandably rocking the red, white and blue ( and I ve already started rocking one of my favorite pairs of Team USA kicks ), I had to show some love to the Philippines as well, especially since Nike added them to their Unlimited Pride program that allows you to choose from a sizable number of flags and add on your kicks.
