Nike‘s classic Blazer has recently emerged in a variety of throwback ‘77 Vintage colorways, culminating in the recent Stranger Things pack. That doesn’t mean that general releases are slowing down anytime soon, however, as this monochrome Blazer Mid ‘77 Vintage proves.
Executed in soft suede, the iconic sneaker sports “Cold Grey,” “Peak White,” and Black panels across its upper and Swoosh, making for a dark-to-light transition from the lace vamp to the all-white midsole. Off-white panels at the forefoot and toe interrupt the moody swathe of grey that steals across much of the upper, standing out starkly against the black suede that creeps up to the exposed foam at the rear of the tongue. On the rear and sockliner, the off-white tones return, for an extra hit of contrast.
The understated Blazer Mid is available on Nike’s Chinese site for ¥799 RMB (approximately $115 USD).
Jordan Brand follows suit in Nike’s recent release of the “Barely Volt” AF-1 colorway. This new AJ1 Retro Hi Prem comes covered from its uppers down to the outsole in a bright neon-green hue. While many bold colorways of this classic model encompass a little bit of contrast in the Swoosh, Wings logo and toebox region, this AJ1 forfeits that and douses every panel of leather, and its rubber sole in the electrifying color.
Currently only offered as a Wmns model, the AJ1 “Barely Volt” can be found over at AFEW for a price of €145 EUR (approximately $165 USD).
A new colorway of Odell Beckham Jr. and Nike‘s Air Max 720 collaboration has dropped. Taking a 180 from its bold “Young King of the Drip” predecessor, “Desert Ore” arrives in cool tones of tan and grey laid out on layers of mesh, suede and leather. Still retaining the silhouette’s distinct details, the latest makeup includes the velcro tongue patch, multicolored tongue and heel tabs, a cork insole and stamped branding elements by the heel. The model rests on a clear 38mm Air Max 720 unit, assisted by an ore-colored support shank for an elevated finish.
The OBJ x Nike Air Max 720 “Desert Ore” is available now at select retailers like hypedc.com for $270 USD.
Vans’ latest offering in its deconstructed series has arrived in a Sk8-Hi silhouette. The high top model receives a topsy-turvy makeover, highlighting exposed materials and nonuniform crafting methods as its main design point. Much like its predecessors, the newest revamp comes with a side zipper dividing the black canvas base and extended suede lavender heel wrap for organized chaos. Additional contrasting hues can be found on the identical azalea pink Jazz stripe and zipper pull, red tongue strips, a green and black checkerboard patch on the midsole and the mismatched white and lavender eyestays.
The Vans Sk8-Hi Reissue Cap in “Black/Azalea Pink” is available now at select retailers like sneakerpolitics.com for $95 USD.
The Nike Huarache is about to get a brand new deconstructed look. Following the previously unveiled Drop-Type LX, the American footwear giant will be rolling out the new Huaraches under the “N.354” line.
Dubbed Nike Huarache Type, the sneakers appear to be more stripped back, with thinner layers and exposed materials. At the top of the shoe is a neoprene tongue painted in royal blue with contrasting white laces slotted through a textured lace cage. A thin rubber heel panel meets a black velcro strap and pull tab made from ballistic nylon. The white forefoot comes etched with a thinly outlined mini-Swoosh logo. As a finishing touch, patterned ridges at the midsole and N.354 branding top off the details of the upcoming silhouette.
The Nike Huarache Type will be available on nike.com and select retailers like atmos on June 28 for $121 USD.
