Nike SB Blazer Mid "Grey/Red/Gum" FD5113-100

The Nike SB Blazer Mid has been delivering a reliable ride for skaters for well over a decade.

Recently, the modified basketball silhouette appeared in a seemingly haphazard makeover. Suede, wove, mesh, and leather materials all come together across the sneaker’s upper, displayed in a “do-it-yourself” manner. The untraditional layout injects personality into the Nike Blazer, which also features an updated branding scheme. Large swooshes reprise their roles at the profiles, but are accompanied by miniature logos; “NIKE SB” branding on the tongue is enlarged and embroidered onto the tongue instead of appearing via a label. Text on the spine follows suit, boasting a vibrant red tone that’s just as eye-catching as the SB Blazer’s “deconstructed” aesthetic. Underfoot, the sole unit delivers some semblance of normalcy: a translucent gum brown finish covers the midsole and traction for a classy look and improved grip.

No firm nike.com launch details have been disclosed by the brand, but that’s likely to change soon. While you wait, enjoy official photos of the pair ahead.
