Nike Sportswear is working with Loopwheeler a Japanese company that uses a vintage fabric knitting machine called a loopwheel. This machine can only make about 1 meter of fabric an hour which equals to about 8 sweaters a day. So for these Blazers which feature Loopwheel fabric, a very small amount can be produced per day. The upper features the cotton from made from the loopwheel along with premium leathers. These drop as Nike Sportswear launches this coming 8/8/08, look for them at very select retailers worldwide.

Update: We just learned that this Blazer is inspired by the Five Rings of the Olympic logo.
This Nike WMNS Blazer has a unique design, being inspired by a set of standard colors for printing called Pantone, hence the name Pantone Mix. This colorful sneaker features white uppers, light blue lace hole tabs, a red back tab, with a yellow Nike Swoosh. The shoe is finished off with a gum midsole with a green toe cap and a red outsole. See below for the sample version of the sneaker which features a green back tab, rather than a final one with a red back tab. This colorway has been released in Asia, no word on a US or Europe release. (update via HB)
