Nike‘s skate-focused Nike SB sub-division has presented its SB Blazer Mid in a new mosaic style that combines tones and textures.

Notable pieces include purple and red heel detailing that calls to mind images of the Dunk Low “Plum,” plus two-tone Swooshes.

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. It’s then secured by another triangular-shaped overlay that hangs down from the b...
