Nike’s tribute to past icons grows by yet another notch with the help of the Blazer Mid, the umbrella now paying tribute to the beloved “Puff N Stuff” SB Dunks that originally released back in 2006. Though still somewhat far off, the retro basketball silhouette inches quite close with its recreation as it adopts a palette that makes use of the very same tones.
Placement, however, is where the biggest distinctions lie as the bright blue suedes that once took seat on the Swoosh are now placed throughout the entirety of the profile. The check, instead, opts for the bright yellow, using it across both the branding as well as the toe box and the heel tab. Mossy greens and complimenting pinks accent at the forefoot and eye stay, respectively, providing further nods to the ostensible inspiration. Then, on the medial, the arrangement is effectively flipped as the floral pink swaps with the aforementioned cool tone in priority.
