With Deflategate in the rearview (for now, anyway) and the season upon us, fans can focus on the truly important stuff: Like, say, Patriots owner Robert Kraft's limited edition Nike Lunar Force 1s.
On Wednesday, Nike will release the sneaker designed in partnership with the 74-year-old owner that, according to Patriots.com, celebrates "New England football as well as Mr. Kraft’s signature style."
More details:
The black leather sneakers pay homage to the Super Bowl champions with an image of the team’s logo and four Lombardi trophies on the tongue. The shoes also feature Patriots colors on the swoosh and heel counter, which are navy blue with a red outline. Mr. Kraft’s initials, R.K.K., appear both on the chrome doubre and under the tongue.
Kraft is no stranger to Nikes; he was seen sporting them this summer.

And last year, the Nike-Kraft collaboration sold out in 10 minutes, raising more than $100,000 for the sports and fitness programming at Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston.
If you're interested, the new Patriots Lunar Force 1 will go on sale at Nike Boston this Thursday at 9 AM, and launch at the Patriots ProShop 24 hours later.
