SOLE COLLECTOR: Sneakers

There is a massive amount of hype behind the upcoming Olympics, and it is stronger than ever in the host country of China. With the Games finally arriving, it is also time for some of the limited kicks to make their debuts. The Yao Ming edition Reebok Pump Omni Hexride is set to launch tomorrow in China. Only 2008 pairs will be released, each numbered, in Yao’s home country. With the growing popularity of kicks in China, and the already massive appeal of Yao, there is no doubt these will be hard to get your hands on. If you have any connections in China, these will be available for $150 USD. If you aren’t fortunate enough to have a hook-up overseas, all hope is not lost. A small amount of unnumbered pairs will also release in other countries, including some very limited numbers to selected US boutiques. If you have been waiting on this one, the time has finally arrived.
