The Opening Ceremony for the 2012 Olympic Games is just over two weeks away. Many eyes will be affixed to the basketball competition, as the world’s best attempt to take the gold medal away from Team USA. Players from Brazil, China, Puerto Rico, and USA will be wearing shoes from the Nike Hyperdunk “Olympic” Pack, but the all-new Nike Hyperfuse 2012 “Olympic” Pack gives them more than one court shoe to match their respective uniforms. With the sneakers in this pack releasing on August 4, which one are you most like to wear?

Just recently we showed you a lite version of the Vans Half Cab, and it look like the brand looking to lighten the load on another model, the Vans Authentic. Stricken with bright, neon color palettes, the Vans Pop Authentic Lite is a slimmer profile version of the original low-top skate shoe. Brightly colored outsoles are paired with contrasting uppers to create a unique look that will definitely get noticed at the skatepark. The Vans Pop Authentic Lite is available now at Vans.com.
