Nike introduces a new Blazer Mid Jumbo sneaker model, making it one of the most funky silhouettes to date. The shoe is spotlighted by its Swoosh found on the side of the sneaker in a dramatic size. Similar to the original, the shoe is made from smooth leather materials throughout the base foundation of the shoe.
This section is done in a solid black color and the drastically large Swooshes are done in a contrasting red hue for a bold look. This causes it to travel down to the midsole foundations of the shoe as well. The collars boast a slight change, delivering a similar look as a sock-materials aesthetic. The tongue retains the foam-infused material paired with a tab down the middle of the throat.
