Normally I'm 100% against "non-Air Jordan" Jordans, mainly for the lack of quality and technology utilized, but this time the Jumpman Folks really went all out for the Olympics and dropped (in my opinion) the hottest Jordan since the XVIII's. Containing obvious inspiration from the X's, the Jordan Olympia (the name of the shoe will have to change for the fact that adidas spent upwards of $100 million to buy the rights to be the exclusive sponsor of the '08 games) will be worn by Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony when they play in Beijing, and will release in various colorways. For the first time in years, Jordan Brand actually decided to use Zoom air on a non-Air Jordan shoe, aside from what looks to be an awesome speed lacing system, the Jordan Olympia doesn't scream tech' like the Hyperdunks, but the magnificent design will definitely earn these a spot in mine (and many others') collections.
