Henri Tai , founder of SportyHenri.com, lent expertise from his former life as a professional athlete whilst Louboutin has drawn inspiration from sports for decades: "

Through custom fittings with athletes, and consultation with former Olympians, the look created expresses chic Cuban style on an athletic silhouette while not compromising the comfort and fit they seek as the world looks on. Henri Tai , explains "

A high-top trainer and loafer style for men offers a snug fit for the light tread of gymnast  and elegance to the remarkable size 51.5 foot of wrestler . The kitten heel sandal for female athletes, adds a touch of glamour without forgetting their stage is the track, the pitch, the ring.

The concept was brought to life within a Parisian atelier; sharply tailored jackets, red for men and beige for women, equally suited for delicate shoulders of judoka Dayaris Mestre Alvarez or biceps of Judo Alex Garcia Mendoza. The jackets contrast with interchangeable trouser, shorts or skirt and proudly carry the nation's flag on the breast pocket. The five- pointed star is used as an emblem of luck upon the back of athlete's jackets.
