Nike introduces a new set of shoes that feature the Blazer Mid and Low '77 sneaker models. The retro silhouettes are adorned in playful detailing in the form of paint splatters. The shoes have a clean white foundation throughout the uppers and accented with bright hues.
There are yellow, red, blue, green, and black paint accents that decorate the shoe as a stark contrast against the clean white base. Nike branding details then adorn the top of the sneaker with vintage-style tongues with exposed foam. The shoes spotlight the paint detailing as the sporadic details are the most prominent and captivating element on the minimal design. Rounding out the shoes are the white midsole foundation.
