A new colorway of the KAWS x sacai Nike Blazer has been revealed this week as part KAWS x sacai Fall/Winter 2021 “Wearable Art” collection. Delivered in an eye-catching purple-themed color scheme, the new low-top shoe should appeal to sneakerheads interested in rocking bold and bright looks with avant-garde design elements.
Like the other KAWS x sacai Nike Blazer's, the new multicolored sneaker boasts a unique layered design that works to visually "stack" the silhouette's shoelaces, tongues, eyelets, and midfoot Swooshs. In other words, each element typically included the classic Nike Blazer model has been designed twice and stacked atop one another. In addition, the sneaker is finished with co-branded tongue tags, colorfully patterned insoles, and the KAWS’ “XX” motif on the outsole.
