Nike is continuing its Atlanta Olympics theme with a friends-and-family Air Trainer SC inspired by Izzy, the official mascot of the 1996 Summer Games. Designer Frank Cooke shared the unreleased pair shortly after a separate purple and gold Atlanta-themed colorway surfaced for retail.
The Nike Air Trainer SC “Atlanta” F&F borrows its bold palette from the blue, abstract mascot and the sneakers worn by the character. Bright red suede and perforated leather cover the upper, while blue laces reference Izzy’s body. Gold detailing adds an Olympic-style finish, and purple appears along the outsole to further recreate the mascot’s footwear.
A multicolor wreath graphic on the heel completes the Atlanta Olympics connection. Only one early image of the sneaker has surfaced, and Nike has not announced a release date. Since the colorway was made for friends and family, a wider launch is not expected at this time.
