Nike unveils the Blazer Mid '77 and the Sky Force 3/4 sneaker models in a colorway update spotlighted by the snakeskin swoosh accent that adorns the side of the sneakers. Two two selected models that boast the update are classic silhouettes from the 70s and 80s, retaining the retro design language.
The hues feature red and blue as the alternating hues decorate the sides of the model. Both of the silhouettes are made with white leather as the base for a simple look as the snakeskin logo serves as a stark contrast. The lateral side features a red swoosh and the medial side highlights the blue snakeskin swoosh. Rounding out the design are some black flecks to give the clean model some textural contrast.
