This summer, Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah will enter Olympic play for the very first time. When suiting up for Team France, Joakim will wear his most recent Le Coq Sportif Pro Model, the Joakim Noah 3.0. The light and durable shoe features a mid-cut, mesh-lined interior and a tab with circular ventilation. Noah's Olympic-themed pair has been given the nickname of "Le Rêve Olympique," or "The Olympic Dream."
Dressed in the national colors of France, the "Le Rêve Olympique" 3.0 features a white and navy upper, with a polka dot gradient transition from toe to heel. Red works the inner lining and branding on the side panel and heel. Below sits a white cushioned midsole and predominantly navy outsole with Olympic-colored tread.
A limited run of 12 pairs will be sold at Paris boutique colette on July 3.
