Jared Ebanks Every few years Nike evolves the composition of its Blazer Mid in an effort to maintain the popularity of the Beaverton brand’s longest-running silhouette in production. From skate-ready toolings to Deconstructed aesthetics, the silhouette originally tooled for the hardwood has since returned to a vein of constructions reminiscent of yesteryear.
The highly modified silhouette comes in the form of the circa 2022 reconfiguration aptly named “Edge”. Cured almost entirely in a flat suede, the upper’s presiding quarter overlay tongue construction employs a healthy amount of canvas while the medial mid-foot achieves a ballistic mesh window. Much like the silhouette’s “Acclimate Pack” from August of 2021, the mid-top trim explores an eerily reminiscent collection of tones. A wheat-based brown cures a dominant majority of the latter’s real estate through the vamp, tongue, laces and heel tab while a murky “Navy” tint imbues the back half of the model in a pitch-dark aesthetic. Elsewhere, pine green swooshes help to oppose the jet-black vulcanized sole unit underfoot.
A release date hasn’t been made available just yet. So in the meantime, the latest Nike SB Blazer Mid Edge can be seen below in detailed imagery.
In other news, the adidas Wales Bonner collection releases on November 9th.
