A close look at this edition of the white Nike Blazer model reveals design elements that take their style cues from the pyramids in Egypt.
At first glance, the sneaker appears to be an all-white Nike Blazer, but a closer examination shows that the classic, crisp shoe has gotten a creative re-design. Tonal stitching creates horizontal lines running the length of the shoe, intersected by angular vertical lines. This mimics the interlocking stones of the pyramids. The off-white swoosh on the side of the white Nike Blazer has a stone-like color and texture to it. At the bottom of the ancient architecture-inspired shoes' laces is a small pyramid decal, which solidifies the entire theme. A final accent of turquoise adorns the swoosh on the white Nike Blazers' tongue.
