The Olympics opening ceremonies will be taking place on 08/08/08, with this for inspiration Nike has created the “Embossed 8″ on the Nike Dunk Highs. These sneakers will feature Nike’s premium leathers in a monochromatic blue colorway. Suede is used for the majority of the shoe, while smooth leather is used for the embossed panel and the Nike swoosh. The Embossed 8s are available now at Proper.

In a partnership of ultra-luxury, Versace and Lamborghini have revisited a partnership which began in 2006 as they create another version of the exclusive LP640. Coming complete with a range of leather goods including bags, gloves, belts and other accessories, the LP640 in itself has also undergone a Versace aesthetic treatment. The engine hood features a transparent hood to showcase the rip snortin’ V12, nappa leather clad seats and a hand-embroidered Versace motif throughout the car. Look for the Versace x Lamborghini LP640 to be available at select dealers and Versace outlets.

In honor of the forthcoming Olympics and the inclusion of the sport of BMX, Nike SB created a collection of items for the monumental event. Aside from the previously seen Michael Lau designed Blazer comes a two pack of shoes under the Trickstar theme which includes a limited edition (600 pairs) Nike Dunk SB Low and a Blazer. Both share the use of black and gold as well as a monogram star upper. The whole pack will see worldwide release in mid to late July, however Brooklyn Projects has secured the rights to launch the whole collection later this month which includes a special party thrown in conjunction with magazine Freestylin’. Look for these to land exclusively at Brooklyn Projects on Friday, June 27th.

We all associate Bathing Ape sneakers with Nike Air Force Ones, as they basically mimic the Nike classic, but not it seems that A Bathing Ape is broadening their choices on who they want to impersonate, as they have created a Converse All Star inspired shoe, in both high and low cut designs. They are available in three different colorways, and are constructed from canvas. Now available at select Bathing Ape retailers.Via HB
