One of the most exciting times of the year is here. Yes, Black Friday is one of them here at Post Wanted, but another is the 2024 Olympics.
The Olympics will officially open in Paris on Friday, July 26 and continue through Sunday, Aug. 11. As the opening games are beginning this evening, we’re here to throw some patriotic-inspired shopping your way.
Just in time for the 2024 Olympics, premier shoe brand Cariuma has crafted four custom shoes for four Olympic athletes: Jagger Eaton, Kelvin Hoefler, Gustavo Ribeiro and Roos Zwetsloot.

To prepare the competitors vying for the shimmering gold, silver and bronze, Cariuma is also preparing each athlete in the style department. Each competitor will don the custom sneakers, and you can shop the original versions below.
Not to mention, Cariuma sneakers are a Post Wanted reviewed favorite and a pair we confidently recommend as a great pair of white sneakers. However, the brand has some pops of color up for grabs, somewhat similar to those being sported at the Olympics this year.

The Vallely Premium Leather is crafted with consciously sourced leather from LWG-certified tanneries. They’re the ultimate skate shoe inspired by the basketball silhouettes from the 90s and are surely built to last. Plus, they naturally elevate every look.
These shoes will be worn by Jagger Eaton, an American skateboarder.
The NAIOCA Suede are designed for life on and off the board, perfect for those who *aren’t* Olympic athletes — or at least not yet.
The NAIOCA + OCA Suede are made with LWG-Certified Suede and ethically sourced natural rubber. Uniquely, they’re inspired by the feeling of walking barefoot in the grass, as Cariuma custom-designed its insoles to provide all-day comfort and support.
These shoes will be worn by Gustavo Riberio, a Portugese skateboarder.
Salvas feature clean classic lines that bring us back to old school aesthetics. Crafted with new school ethics, the updated classic features LWG certified leather, natural rubber, eco Cordura, recycled mesh and cork insoles. The pair utilizes 71% less water used than traditional leather sneakers, which makes this pair an ethical everyday shoe that’s comfortable to wear anywhere.
These shoes will be worn by Gustavo Riberio, a Dutch skateboarder from the Netherlands.
The T20 is a heavy-duty skate shoe, consciously crafted with LWG-certified suede, recycled mesh, recycled rubber and full cushion. It’s a low-top, good-looking skate shoe that features a plain foxing for a smooth ride. The shoes also boast a triple-reinforced flick point with rubber underlay. It’s safe to say this pair was designed for optimal performance without compromising durability.
These shoes will be worn by Kevin Hoefler, a Brazilian skateboarder.
