Jovani Hernandez The Nike Blazer Mid ’77 has fallen out of grace within performance-basketball circles, but it’s enjoyed a new life as a go-to fashionable option to savvy and causal consumers alike over the last two decades. Most recently, the first Nike Basketball sneaker has emerged in a clean “White/Sail” colorway as part of the brand’s sustainable “Next Nature” capsule.
Unlike previously-seen propositions produced with the Swoosh’s “Move To Zero” initiative in mind, the latest pair indulges in a near “colorless” arrangement. Smooth leather and fuzzy suede make up the entirety of the upper, while exposed foam joins the mix at the tongues. As noted by the swoosh-wheel logo on the sock-liner, all aforementioned materials are partly-upcycled. Furthermore, sole units are comprised of recycled material, all in the hopes of offsetting NIKE, Inc.’s waste production.
Enjoy official images of the pair here below, and anticipate a quiet Nike.com launch soon.
