Nike x Off-White ™ Blazer Low Sneakers

There are an awful lot of sneakerheads out there and there are no shortage of awesome options to add to your line up of footwear but one of the coolest we’ve seen in a while is definitely these Nike x Off-White ™ Blazer Low Sneakers. Visually vibrant, effortlessly cool and with an unparalleled comfort, what’s not to like? True to Virgil Abloh’s wide-ranging and open-source take on product development and modification, the Nike x Off-White ™ Blazer Low brings together a multi-disciplinary, multi-sport aesthetic in some considerable style.

While exploring Nike’s archives, Abloh became inspired by iconic basketball, skateboarding and trail running silhouettes and started to reconsider their shapes and features in a new light and these ace looking sneakers are the end result of that. By bringing together multiple sports and silhouettes, this Blazer Low’s distinct make-up underscores Abloh’s design language and if you’re after footwear that turns head, look no further. Priced at £124.99, these great looking sneakers hit the shelves later this week but you’ll need to move fast as they’ll sell out in no time at all.

FIRST CLASS FOOTWEAR

Through collaborative design sessions and, perhaps more unconventionally, via text message threads – one of Virgil’s favourite places to work – with Nike’s design team, he became focused on “mixing languages for a new signature”, emphasising how that happens when unrelated elements are brought together unexpectedly. Abloh and his team executed his thought process through the standout TPU heel piece that sits atop the Blazer Low, which takes its design inspiration from the Air Terra Humara’s classic heel shape.

The Nike x Off-White ™ Blazer Low Sneakers have a real attention to detail which really completes the shoe. Some of the stand out design features of this high quality piece of footwear from the guys at Nike includes an accented over lace, Swoosh tab, an exposed foam tongue and punched-out holes, which offer a utilitarian, DIY attitude to a sneaker designed with expert craft, knowledge and a passion for pushing boundaries.

At one point during the design process of these quality sneakers, Abloh directly asked: “Can we … splice the real Humara tooling and fuse it into a vulcanised sole?” This kind of playful verve for new opportunities is what allowed for new possibilities and with it, the Off-White ™ Blazer Low. If you like your footwear to push boundaries and turn heads in equal measures, you’ll be getting all that and a whole lot more with these amazing looking sneakers from Nike and Off-White.
