The Nike Gyakusou line, a collaboration designed by Japanese fashion designer Jun Takahashi, will chip in on this year's Olympic sportswear from the Swoosh with apparel and sneakers designed for running in Rio. On the footwear side is the Free RN Flyknit.

The shoe sports Gyakusou branding on the insoles and a color palette that's been seen elsewhere in Takahashi's Nike work.

Apparel offerings include running shorts and singlets that reaffirm the line's performance intentions.

This Gyakusou range will launch first in Brazil on Aug. 4 at the NikeLab Rio experience in the Nike Ipanema store. A global launch will follow on Aug. 18.
