Jasmine Tang As seen on silhouettes such as the Air Force 1, Nike has recently been experimenting with stitching transparent swooshes onto its footwear. This sleek yet fun design concept has also landed on an upcoming women’s Nike Blazer Mid ’77.
The pair starts with the standard smooth white leather base. Grey suede overlays are applied to the toe and forefoot for added contrast. The most notable element is the clear, TPU side Swoosh, which is tinted in a bright Volt. Threads in a matching shade are used to embroider the perimeter of the logo to secure it on. The obvious embroidery is reminiscent of the use of stitches to create panel-like structures on the sides. While the heel tabs of previous releases usually match the side Swoosh, the heel tab on this pair opts for white leather, which blends in with the uppers to bring more focus onto the neon check.
Get a closer look at the Blazer Mid ’77 below as you stand by for its arrival at the listed retailers with a price tag of $100.
