Sometimes the unthinkable happens over at Nike as we can now expect to see the release of the Nike USA Olympic Basketball Pack next year.

With the 2012 Summer Olympic games in London fast approaching, this retro release should come as very exciting news for many. The quartet of prized Olympic-inspired Nike Basketball sneakers once worn by three gold medal winners will consist of the Nike Air Force 180, Air More Uptempo, Shox BB4, and the Air Zoom Huarache 2k4. As it’s been some time since we’ve last seen such sneakers hit local retailers, we won’t have to wait much longer to see the red, white, and blue kicks return, and yes, you may now put your OG/retro pairs to rest.

So, what’s missing? An Nike Zoom Kobe VII? LeBron 9? Or perhaps even an olympic-inspired Air Jordan retro? For now, its best to appreciate the return of these timeless classics that will arrive just in time to cheer on the home team.

Today we have first images of the Nike Air Force 180 Olympic Barkley which will presumably release some time next year. The upcoming release of this sneaker comes just in time for the start of the 2012 Olympic games, and although we won’t witness the “Dream Team”, the original colorway will do.

As we saw the hybrid model Nike Auto Force 180 Olympic release in 2009, next year’s model will take its original form as last seen back in 2005. Considering next year’s Olympics, it is likely that we’ll see even more red, white, and blue sneakers as we’ve already announced the return of the Air Jordan VI (6) Olympic Retro and Barkley CB34. Could there even be another Air Joran VII Olympic?

Let’s take one thing at a time and first look forward to the Nike Air Force 180 Olympic Barkley. Be sure to keep it locked right here to SneakerFiles as we bring you more updates on this release and more.

Nike Air Force 180 has seen a slight slowdown despite a few new colorways. Here’s a look at one more Air Force 180 for 2008 that will be releasing this month. This style is made up of a black base with light graphite and white accents. The Air Force 180 is finished off with red laces adding a little color to a rather basic color scheme. Check with your local Nike retailer as they have already dropped at a few accounts. Via Sneaker Freaker.
