The Nike Blazer Mid Joins In On The NYC vs. LA Competition

After an Air Max 95 featuring both New York City and Los Angeles-centric detailing released earlier this month, another classic Swoosh Brand silhouette is getting in on the friendly competition between the two meccas of street culture: the Nike Blazer. Using a soft black suede with a large white swoosh for the base, the new shoes feature many of the same city-centric details as the Air Max 95s, like corresponding Knicks/Lakers-colored laces/outsoles and special NY and LA text hits on the insoles. However, the Blazers offer their own special take on the never-ending debate as well: large imperfect suede letters are stitched onto the heel for a handmade look — NY on the left, and LA on the right. The lining of the foam tongues are dyed purple and blue for a final city contrast, and the shoes come equipped with a quintet of colorful lacing options so the wearer can mix and match to their heart’s content. Look for these special Blazers to drop on Nike.com this fall, and check out a full set of official images below while you wait.
