Nike designers have created a new pair of Air Trainer SC High ATL sneakers to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Olympics Games in Atlanta.

The new shoes have a reflective green leather and green suede body with golden metal on the sides and a multicolored confetti sole. The tongue of the left shoe features a Georgia peach, and inside each shoe is the Nike logo framed in a laurel wreath. The color scheme matches that of the official Centennial Olympic Games logo.
