about michael lau's nike sneaker design for bmx china federation

"Considered by many as Hong Kong's poster boy of designer toy world, Michael Lau was sourced by Nike to create a special sneaker for the Chinese BMX Federation. The sneaker maintains a strong aesthetic allegiance to China's iconic colors with yellow and red colors. The package also features a toy and special commemorative box to complete the set." [via Tomm's blog and found on Hypebeast and every other hype-sites by now LOL]

was digging thru the net for more info on the toy, when it hit me that perhaps it was only the SNEAKER that was designed by Lau, and not the figure, per se? becoz it doesn't seem like any style that he's done thus far, and i'd be rather worried if this be his new design-direction - as nifty as the figure does look by itself, it doesn't look much like a ML-design, IMHO ... aaand i'd leave it at that ...but the wittle BMX-dog is mighty cute, i haveta say :)
