When given the opportunity to design a Nike Air Maestro for friends and family of KITH, Ronnie Fieg drew inspiration from Scottie Pippen's time as a member of the United States "Dream Team."

A stark contrast to the purple pair shared ahead of the KITH Sport NYFW event, this simple take on the redesigned Nike Air Maestro 2 sports a patriotic mix of red, white and blue, with subtle hits of metallic gold to complete the Olympic theme.

While release information floating around suggests this pair could be heading to retail, GQ reports that only 120 pairs were produced exclusively for friends and family.
