Nike Grigoros
Kayaking
I’ve personally never even approached the thought of entering a Kayak and taking on the at times unpredictable current ahead, but I am determined to somehow get my hands on these. The Grigoros, Greek for ‘Quick,’ is more sculpted and contoured than any other shoe in this collection, and for good reason. Many athletes would normally compete barefoot, but the Grigoros provides more traction and protection in an often rugged and dangerous whitewater rapid sport. The form-fitting, one-piece upper shoe is made entirely of a sticky rubber compound and is meant to slip right onto the foot for a close fit that will mimic a second layer of skin. If I had to pick a favorite design in the collection, this is certainly in the top three, and if I found out Nike will be bringing this shoe to retail I will certainly update everyone out there, as I’m sure the Zvezdochka fan in all of us will gravitate towards these hypersleek and shaped shoes.

Quite interresting thing. I’m an freak of the nike aqua sock of the early 90’s and the grigoros goes just in this direction. I really hope that this shoe will be availible even for people in Europe, and not only for kayakers of the olympic games. This shoe is a helpful equipement for running barefoot like the vibram fivefingers, but even look much more so one can wear this shoe even on the street or in the club.
