Nike Experiments With Bold Color-Blocking On This Retro-Future Blazer Mid_Fashion at Your Feet

The Nike Blazer Mid 77 has enjoyed a notable amount of success since launching thanks in large part to a growing desire for a vintage aesthetic. And while the silhouette has built a healthy roster full of simple, but timeless colorways, it’s also dressed up in the occasional experimental ensemble. The latest ostensibly arrives as a nod to Shanghai, China.

Clad in various shades of grey and blue, the mid-top Blazer makes a statement with the assortment of metallic silver accents throughout its upper. Suede along the forefoot and tongue not only deliver varying texture, but also color-blocking to the pair, with the former sporting a bright orange. The latter features a white paint stroke from lateral midsole to medial midfoot, adding a crackled finish to the lace guard and swoosh it covers. Appropriate for the experimental take, “NIKE” branding on the heel is double-layered, with the text underneath boasting a larger size and reverse orientation. Sole units revel in a midsole slightly reminiscent of the Space Hippie line and vibrant pink tread. Finally, sockliners are branded with “沪”, which translates to the “Shanghai, China” and a swoosh logo.

Full release details are still unknown, but this Blazer Mid ’77 is likely to launch via the Nike SNKRS app before the year ends. In the meantime, enjoy official images of the shoes here below.

Elsewhere under the NIKE, Inc. umbrella, the fragment Jordan 3 is set to launch on September 17th.
