After a year-long postponement due to the global coronavirus pandemic, the 2021 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo is finally set to kick off this month. Today, Nike unveiled a new range of performance apparel and footwear just in time for those participating and tuning in to the global spectacle.

For starters, the Swoosh’s sponsored athletes will be wearing new “Rawdacious” colorways of their respective performance footwear including for basketball, skateboarding, soccer, as well as track and field. According to the brand, the makeup’s name refers to a mashup of the words “Raw Audaciousness” while the white, pink blast, total orange and bright crimson color palette is meant to symbolize unity.
