Frog Skateboards has teamed up with Nike SB to release a playful rendition of the skate brands’ iconic SB Blazer. Here, the sneaker’s upper is treated in brushed suede – akin to past collaboration with Stüssy — and covered in a light green. The centerpiece of the collaborative pair is a chenille frog graphic peeking out above each lateral Swoosh. Iconography by way of haphazard logos, scattered ladybugs, and a starkly simple rear-facing typography hit complete one of the most fun-loving kits to date with a release to go live at various skate shops worldwide.
You can expect the Frog Skateboards x Nike SB Blazer Mid QS to release at select skate retailers on March 16th. Retail price is set at $95.
