Nike Sportswear will soon be debuting a brand new Blazer Mid Vintage lineup that will include this upcoming “Red Suede” iteration. Going from pairs bereft of color to ones removed of their branding, Beaverton is now painting the iconic silhouette in bold red hues with suede uppers only furthering modifications. Texture come through in the slightly disheveled face of the fabrication, accenting the singular tone from the toe cap over to the tongue and lining. Swooshes as well as the heel tab contrast in a silver metallic with white midsoles and boldfaced font preventing any sensory overload.
Check out the official photos below, and look for this Blazer Mid Vintage to release very soon at select retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $100 USD.
