NIKE FLYKNIT TRAINER CHUKKA FSB “CHARCOAL”



You don't have to give up your sneakers with these new winterized Flyknit Trainer Chukka FSBs from Nike as weather gets cooler.

The Fall 2014 release mid-top combines a lightweight Flyknit wool blend upper, a black and white speckled midsole, and a rubber outsole coming in a charcoal colorway with a contrasting white Swoosh.

If you were coveting these while they were on the feet of the U.S. Olympics team in Sochi earlier this year, you can finally get your hands on a pair now from Asphaltgold.

Jihad Olympics| Sochi's Terror Problem

Islamic extremists in Russia want to blow up the Sochi Winter Olympics. They've already succeeded in terrorizing a city 600 miles away with three separate suicide attacks in which more than 40 people have died since the end of October. Russia's Jihadists come from loosely affiliated cells modeled on Al Qaeda whose goal is the creation of an Islamic Emirate in the southern part of the country. Their dream state would also include Sochi itself. But Russia has won high marks for making the security at the games unobtrusive and so far, effective. So security experts are warning that the Islamists could recalculate and target easier-to-hit cities around the country during the 2014 Winter Games. VICE News sent Simon Ostrovsky to the most dangerous region in Europe to find out how serious the threat to the Olympics and Russia actually is.
