There's still a few days of Olympic competition left in Rio, but Nike is already looking ahead to the next cycle.

Earlier today, Complex's Joe La Puma was gifted with a special pair of Nike Flyknit Racers commemorating the games' next location. According to La Puma, the pair was hand-dyed with genuine indigo in Tokyo, host of the 2020 Olympics. Custom katakana script on the tongues is translated to "Naiki."

Four years from now, Nike will once again be on board as the official sponsor of the United States Olympic Committee. These Flyknits prove that it's never too early to begin the Olympic countdown.
