Up Close With The Upcoming sacai x Nike Blazer Low “Magma Orange”

Thanks in part to a successful 2020, next year is to be just as eventful for Chitose Abe’s sacai. As the Japanese label’s SS20 runway revealed, there are more than a handful of Nike collaborations still on the way, including further iterations of the VaporWaffle as well as the debut of the designer’s Blazer Low.

And though still months out from the Blazer’s release, images of the collaborative silhouette’s “Magma Orange” colorway have surfaced via sneaker insiders. While its design is technically new, it mirrors that of the sacai x Blazer Mid near exactly, the only distinction being the low-top cut. Swooshes are doubled up in thick sheets of leather, with the outside clad in orange and the inside an equally bright yellow. The lace unit further leads with the warm tone, dressing its eye stays as well as one of the two strings. Elsewhere, from the dual tongues to the over-layered midsole, everything is relatively understated as white neutrals outfit throughout.

Grab one of the best looks at these right here and expect a release to arrive this coming February.
