Where To Get Team USA's Neon Kicks
Team USA started off the 2016 Olympics in style at the Opening Ceremony festivities dressed in Ralph Lauren-designed uniforms, but the chicness didn’t stop there. While USA's attire throughout the games has been fashionable, functional, and patriotic, it is Team USA’s yellow sneakers at the Olympics medal ceremonies that have caused quite a bit of buzz amongst athletes and fashionistas alike.
The U.S. team rarely steps outside of the red, white, and blue color scheme at the Olympic games, but not this year. While U.S. athletes wear only their country’s colors during competitions, they have been adding a neon yellow to their otherwise patriotic uniforms at medal ceremonies. This unexpected pop of color comes from the athletes' super cool kicks, which are designed by none other than Nike.
The sneakers of note are the Nike RN Fly Knit shoes in the color Volt, according to Sole Collector. Although the yellow kicks might come as a surprise, I happen to think they look pretty darn cool. Not only are they a great way to spot American medalists, but they happen to color-coordinate well with their bling.
Luckily for us, they have yet to sell out. So if you are hoping to dress like an Olympian, look no further, as I’ve rounded up the nine coolest neon kicks out there — including Team USA's exact sneakers.
