Nike Sportswear has been a strong proponent of animal print sneakers this year, but while feline patterns have thrived, zebra stripes are considerably less common (thumbs up if you recall the ‘Daktari’ Dunk Low from a decade ago). In fact, there have been more Air Force 1 Bespoke designs featuring the familiar black/white pattern than all other NSW drops combined, so the market is ready for a more affordable price point. And that’s where this new Zebra Pack comes in, combining the Nike Blazer Mid with its lowtop counterpart (in VNTG form) along with the Air Vortex ’80s runner so that one pair of each goes full-zebra while the other just stripes the Swooshes. Have a closer look below so you can let us know which came out best, then grab yours exclusively at what is presumably Ricky Gervais and Steve Carell’s favorite sneaker shop, Office.

The Blazer’s classic vulc-sole construction lends itself to simple colorways, and Nike Sportswear’s Vintage series has perfected an understated formula that simultaneously provides a versatile anchor to your wardrobe and suggests an infinite range of possible applications. The latest to feature the ‘suede n Sail’ combo are these two Nike Blazer Low VNTG releases, rose and royal blue pairs whose colored tongues reflect one of the few minor changes we’ve seen in this line in recent months. Paired with falling leaves in the images you’ll see below, it’s clear that these specific tones are perfectly matched to the autumn mood, and they’re available now from SNKRS.

Nike Sportswear’s VNTG Blazer series dominates the Sneaker News ‘Vintage’ category, and so long as satisfying new styles are as simple to create as this new pair, the Blazer will stay atop the old school standings. The first Nike Basketball silhouette shows off its sleeker side with the Vintage Nike Blazer Low coming through with the familiar Sail Swoosh, laces and slightly pre-yellowed vulc sole. The rest is done in a shade of green somewhere between sage and seaweed called Hasta, which seems fitting given that your classics rotation won’t be complete ‘until’ you grab this new drop from Titolo.

The lowtop silhouette has been used by Nike Sportswear far less than the High when it comes to Vintage Blazer releases; might this new trio signal a shift in silo distribution? These new Nike Blazer Low VNTG releases are like the original NSW Vintage drops in that they utilize a single suede color opposite Sail everything else plus a bit of pre-yellowing on the soles to match the unfinished nylon tongue’s slightly rugged old school feel. Pairs in grey, black and red are all simple enough to anchor your wardrobe this spring, and you’ll find them available now at select retailers like SNKRS.

Of the six leather vintage Blazers Nike Sportswear has released over the past three-plus years, British sneaker suppliers Size? are responsible for two-thirds. Their slice of the pie grows a bit larger today with word of another exclusive colorway, this time on the Nike Blazer Low VNTG silhouette. These are basically a chopped-down version of the HO09 drop that also paired Sail and black. And just as their height is shorter, so is the supply, but as of right now this old school take on early 2012′s signature colorway is available at Size?

Being that both models carry roughly the same silhouette, there’s naturally some confusion between the Nike Blazer Mid and High. A couple of the telltale signs that separate the Mids from their old school counterpart is the smooth vulc sole sidewall whereas the Highs feature a wood grain pattern, as well as the strip of fabric running the shoe’s circumference like a foxing band on the Mids that’s not there on the Highs. These same design elements can also be found on all but the VNTG series of Blazer Lows by Nike Sportswear, and this pack of Mids and Lows goes even one step further by uniting these two in their use of semi-glossy leather uppers with tonal woolen branding and gum brown bottoms. Click through to see all three and expect these at US NSW stockists shortly. via EST Premium

The Nike Blazer High Suede Vintage has been released in Quickstrike form each of the last two autumns, this latest drop picking up a Low along with all the pieces that may have been left behind from making the earlier pairs. Each piece of both pairs of these VNTG Blazer Quickstrikes can be seen to have originated on a previous release, this spring’s four-pack most prominently featured with three of its pairs represented across these two new drops. Also notable in this melange of slightly beat-up suede is the presence of last fall’s Gold Dart and Spice colors spanning both pairs. Click through to see more closely which others were also included and look for these starting November 19th at Nike Sportswear retailers like Extra Butter.

The first set of Nike Blazer Low Suede Vintage colorways released this July in some appropriately patriotic colorways, but what shold we expect from Nike Sportswear now that the red-white-and-blue holidays are out of the way? How about a couple of new pairs that manage a nice balance between the autumn falling leaves and October’s favorite holiday. The Dark Copper and Sable Green depart from the VNTG Blazer line’s traditional white tongue and laces like the upcoming Highs, and like the upcoming Prism Pink edition, they now carry a Premium designation. Check them out in more detail after the jump and look for these now at NSW dealers like Size?
