With the Olympics starting up 8/8/08 everyone has their eyes on the USA Basketball team. Me however have my eyes on their feet. At the USAB press outing I was able to talked to Hornet Phenom Chris Paul and noticed he wasn't wearing any Olympic  CP3's in the games but instead a sneaker called the "Jordan Olympia" 

The Olympia takes design direction from the Jordan X but there's a common "United We Rise" theme that for the first time will be used between Nike, Jordan and Converse brands (Lebron, Paul, and Wade). This consist of a laser pattern with a winged "United We Rise" symbol. The Olympia is going on sale Aug 9, 2008 and will have a tag of $125 .
