Varsity Jacket-Inspired Sneakers

Nike's Satin Blazer Mid Model Boasts a Fresh 'Red Crush' Colorway

A new women's Satin Blazer Mid Nike was recently introduced by the popular sportswear brand, with the sneakers boasting a statement-worthy 'Red Crush' colorway.

With the sneakers outfitted in a sleek satin material, they have a luxurious aesthetic that enables them to elevate any ensemble that they're paired with. As the sneakers take inspiration from vintage varsity sport jackets, they have a few unconventional additions, such as the terry cloth tongues that feature red-framed box logos that include embroidered branding inside. On the backs of the heels, a striped pattern is also included, representing the accents that normally decorate the sleeves and collars of varsity jackets.

The sneakers are currently available from Nike's online store and from its in-store locations for $100 USD a pair.
