Entry #8 - Lisa Schlenker's Shoes

Maybe somebody who has been inside Nike can tell me what this is all about. Looks like it was part of a larger display or something, but I'm just guessing.

What I do know is that they're Lisa Schlenker's rowing shoes, mounted onto an engraved plate. The soles reminded me of an old shoe I used to love, the Aqua Sock.

Something that strikes me about the shoe is the lack of wordmark, NIKE is not found anywhere on the shoe, just a Swoosh. Maybe that's an Olympic uniform rule or something?
