We’ve shown you a few previews of this Nike x Cassette Playa Blazer Mid already but now we have some official information regarding the release of this limited collaboration sneaker between Nike Sportswear and one of the top sportswear designers in the World, Carri Mundane from the UK. The collaboration started when Carri was planning for her Cassette Playa Spring/Summer 2008 “Future Primitive” runway show that was inspired by the concept of “urban shamanism”. Mundane explains that “urban shamanism” is like “Ancient Amazonian hunting rituals adapted by a gang of skaters in a post apocalypticy city”. This Blazer Mid uses a combination of bright colors and materials to make it iconic in that the silhouette of one of Nike’s most classic Basketball sneakers does not change yet stylish enough for the 21st Century with Carri Mundane working on the shoe.

The Cassette Playa Blazer will be available at the Nike Sportswear 1948 store at Bateman’s Row, Shoreditch, tentatively on December 6th, 2008. And will also be available at Nike Sportswear in New York on December 20th, 2008. More details to come. Via Freshness
