Nike Raketa (Greek for “Racquet”)

Sport: Badminton
OK, get this: badminton is an Olympic sport. Um…AWESOME! Apparently when athletes play professionally, it's not with a beer in hand at a BBQ. On the competitive level, it's a fast-paced, rapid direction-changing game. The Raketa features Nike’s flywire technology, making the shoe feather-light, while a carbon-fiber midsole shank gives the proper amount of support without making them too heavy.
