UPDATE: Virgil Abloh has confirmed the black pair with a recent comment on skater Hyun Kummer’s Instagram page. In reply to Kummer’s photo of skated Nike Blazers from the first “The Ten” collection, Abloh replied “Let me get you that black pair – Quick-Quick!!”

Virgil Abloh’s collaboration with Nike was originally supposed to be 10 shoes, but its success has meant that there’s been a steady flow of upgrades and additional colorways since the original launch. The latest shoe to make an appearance is the Blazer Mid, which has been unveiled in three new colorways. Coming in black, grey, and neon yellow, the shoes were first showcased on Instagram. There’s no word on a release date as of yet, but we’ll be able to update with more information at a later date.

In related news, the Nike Air Max 180 will soon make an appearance in a “Black/Volt” colorway. Virgil Abloh has also been busy as of late, unveiling a customized Louis Vuitton bag for Beyoncé.
