Closer Look at the Upcoming Supreme x Nike SB Blazer "Black"
Quilted uppers and snakeskin-covered Swooshes are making a comeback.
Supreme and Nike have linked together for a multitude of projects involving apparel and footwear, and one of its most iconic team-ups is the three-pronged SB Blazer Mid collection from 2006. Key components of the sneakers included its quilted leather uppers, Swooshes that were covered in snakeskin as well as its gilded hardware, all of which was inspired by luxury runway shows and now sit at over $2K USD on the resell market. Fast forward 16 years later, the NY-based streetwear brand is bringing the silhouette back into the spotlight for a fresh new team-up.
Early images of a new “Black” colorway have now surfaced onto our radar and reveal various close-up angles. Like its OG makeups, the pair comes fitted with a quilted base layer build that’s dyed in all-black. Swooshes on the lateral and medial walls are prepared with bold yellow and black snakeskin patterns while accents of gold sprinkle to the co-branded tongues, lace tips and heel rings. Other design details to call out include the Supreme-branded insoles, tonal checkered rear end overlays and the blacked-out midsoles.
More information surrounding this release will likely show up in the coming months.
