The final Air Zoom Tiempos from the the Nike Sportswear LIVESTRONG Collection will see their release at Nike Sportswear retailers on November 7th. Developed in conjunction with eight globally-based riders, known as THE CTRS, each color represents a different rider and their respective city.

The three remaining contenders consist of Massan from San Fransisco, Yorgo Tloupas representing Paris and Berlin’s Henrik Kuerschner. Paris takes on subtlety with reflective black on black, the Berlin design adds some detailed colored stitches on white (previously seen here), while the San Francisco version goes with dark cinder highlighted by stitches and Swoosh in orange.

We get a first look at one of the next Nike Air Zoom Tiempo’s to be released in the near future. The Berlin shoe was designed by Artoo, features a white leather upper with multicolor stitching going all over the sneaker. Look out for a release soon along with a couple of other city versions of the sneaker.

Nike’s design team worked with Lance Armstrong to create a Zoom Tiempo inspired by Lance’s hometown, Austin Texas. The Air Zoom Tiempo draws inspiration directly from the cyclists of Austin and one of the city’s most iconic cycling stores in the world, Mellow Johnny’s. The shoe also draws inspiration from the art bikes created to help raise funds and awareness for the Lance Armstrong Foundation this summer. Finally, it takes the iconic LIVESTRONG yellow and integrates it throughout the design of the shoe.

Highlighted features include: Juxtaposing soft premium oiled leather with aggressive anti-abrasive materials and black contrast stitching. The design is inspired by the two sides of Lance: The world’s greatest road cyclist and a man deeply connected with the culture of his sport. “Texas” and “Austin” are boldly placed on the shoe heels. The stitches crossed on the words give an unfinished and rough touch. Contrasting yellow and black sockliners build on the LIVESTRONG and Mellow Johnny’s bike shop theme. The crafted Starks laces with black aglets (tips) complement the refined, but aggressive, design.

The Livestrong x Nike Air Zoom Austin Tiempo is available on October 24th, 2009 exclusively at Mellow Johnny’s and Nike Sportswear at 21 Mercer. It will be released more broadly in November along with the other three Tiempos collaborated with cyclists from Paris, Berlin and San Francisco. For more information visit THE CTRS.
