Nike introduced a new monochromatic look that adorns the signature Blazer Mid sneaker model for the season with the new World Champ design. It has an entirely sleek construction throughout the upper with black leather materials sitting on top of a white midsole foundation for a touch of contrast.
There are also some textural details that can be seen by the forefoot in the application of the grey suede. As a slight pop of color, the shoe is marked with some purple detailing that lines the signature Swoosh, the sock lining, and the rubber outsole unit. It is rounded out by the championship belt-themed gold dubrae, gold accented tongue tags and more branding at the heel tab patch.
