The Nike Air Force 1 and Blazer Mid '77 "Popcorn" Celebrate the Movie Theater Favorite
Receiving official release dates.
After surfacing at the start of the month, we now have a closer look at the “Popcorn” Nike Air Force 1 and Blazer Mid ‘77.
Inspired by everyone’s favorite cinema treat, the upper base of shoes are constructed of tumbled leather accented by either pure white or buttery “Coconut Milk” elements depending on the model. The contrasting hue that serves to express the popcorn inspiration is found on the Swooshes, heel tabs and laces. Additional branding comes in the form of reworked “NIKE” hits that reference classic packaging on the tongues, heels and insoles.
The popcorn-inspired accents come in the form of the full print insoles, metal lace charms and “fresh since ‘82” and “fresh since ‘77” marking the respective debut years of the footwear models. Rounding up the design of the shoes are sole units that follow the contrast plays found on the uppers and a special shoebox with wrapping paper that continues to celebrate the theater classic
Priced at $110 and $130 USD, the Nike Blazer Mid ‘77 and Air Force 1 ‘07 are set to release on Nike SNKRS and at select retailers March 9, 11 p.m. EST.
