Sacai x Nike Blazer Mid “Black Blue” BV0072-001 BV0072-001

The Sacai x NikeLab collaboration was previewed at Paris Fashion Week SS19 this past June, which includes two deconstructed hybrid colorways of the Nike Blazer Mid – both seen on the runway during the Japanese label’s show, combined with the Dunk. Living by a “double or nothing” adage, the Japanese brand took everything that the Blazers are known for and multiplied it by two: the shoe features two tongues, two Swooshes, two sets of laces, and even two midsoles, with textured rubber pieces piling on top of one another in abstract fashion as they climb up the midfoot and heel. There’s also slight touches from the classic Nike Dunk as well thanks to the heel’s pull tab and the eyestays, which feature a jagged Dunk-style design stitched over the Blazer’s usual curved variation.
