In examining a recent WMNS Air Max 90 release from Nike Sportswear, we noted that they were the first such model for ladies since a grey woolen pair from the NSW VacTech collection touched down just before the turn of the year. And though we’ve seen a couple other pairs since then with molded Swooshes, those marked the end of the VT capsule, or so we thought. Some six weeks later, here comes a new Nike Blazer Mid VT in black wool that manage to reprise an even older Blazer Mid design motif by adding ticked laces like a few pairs from last summer. Check out this chronological outlier in more detailed images after the jump and grab yours today from Size?.

When the Dunk High VT added an vulcanized sole, it also went back a bit from the full-vacuum look found on the cupsole model, adding a bit more traditional stitching than any of Nike Sportswear’s other VacTech releases. A similar mixed application can be found on the also-autoclaved Nike Blazer Mid VT, a model whose simple lines have been sublimated, save the classically styled eye plackets. It’s an impressive look for this veteran now in its fifth decade of service, and one that has us wondering if Anthracite suede will soon be joined by additional colors.

Just when you thought Nike Sportswear would be content adding new materials and colorways to itsever growing VacTech collection, they go and add another of its best loved classics to the mix. The latest to join the fray is also the oldest, the Nike Blazer Mid VT looking as solid as you’d expect given the silo’s lengthy track record of excelling in suede. This Anthracite edition is considerably darker than the Medium Grey vacuum-sealed looks we’ve seen from the Dunk and Air Force 1; which of these old school basketball kicks works best with the VT theme? Click through so you can see more of the Anthracite Blazer Mid VT, then pick up a pair from NSW spots including asphaltgold.
