One of the most memorable political statements made by an Olympic was at the Mexico City games in 1968 by US athlete Tommie Smith. Smith raised his fist in solidarity against racism against blacks in the US and abroad. French urban culture group La MJC has organized an evening to celebrate Smith and mark the introduction of a line of kicks by Puma honoring him. 50 free passes are up for grabs to event transportation not included. As an added benefit De La Soul will perform live. The kicks are set to release very soon in France and around the globe.
