Nike SB has been pushing out innovative and appealing product over the course of the past few months, and the latest release to join in the festivities is the SB Blazer Mid Edge — which has been chopped up to create a new “Hack Pack” style. Arriving in “Laser Blue/Watermelon” this in-line design draws its cues from popular Nike collaborators like Off-White and sacai for a perfectly imperfect deconstructed look. Uppers are constructed of a sturdy and classic canvas, the “Laser Blue/Watermelon” opts for a vibrant mix of neon-adjacent hues. The lateral Swoosh is absent from its usual perch on the midfoot, with nothing more than loose threads showing where it would usually be placed. However, it’s not gone completely. If you look at these Blazer Mid Edges from the top down, you’ll notice that this Swoosh has been juxtaposed onto the toebox, where it cleverly serves as an asymmetrical mudguard.

The color palette is equally as minimalistic as the garments themselves, with shades of forest green, khaki, orange and black dominating the assortment

In this weeks Eco & Ethics Spotlight we look at the sustainable materials the imprint uses in all their products. Nature is Fjallraven 's biggest source of inspiration. It’s also where they draw their materials from and where the impact of consumption is most keenly felt. No decision is taken lightly. When considering a material they evaluate its efficiency, functional qualities, chemical composition and the amount they’ll need before making a choice. To help them make a decision, they use a Preferred Materials And Fibres List that grades materials in terms of their impact on the environment. And this list is constantly updated, reflecting new research and new materials. It doesn’t matter how sustainable it is, if a shell material doesn’t keep you dry they won’t consider it. Fjallraven must balance a material’s fu
