Nike Blazer Hi “Jackie Robinson” Pack


Paying homage to baseball icon Jackie Robinson, Nike works up a new pack of Blazer Hi’s featuring the colors that have become synonymous with the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers since their inception into the National League in 1890. Most widely recognized for his roles as a superstar player as well as breaking the color barrier within Major League Baseball, Jackie remains a cultural legend within the world of sports and civil rights alike. This new collection, in his honor, boasts the trademark Brooklyn logo on each tongue as well the traditional Brooklyn “B” emblazoned in an all-over Diamond print format. All three colorways, including a red canvas, royal nubuck, and grey suede, are now available at select Nike retailers including Proper.

Nike Blazer Mid - Black - Metallic Silver - Volt



The Nike Blazer Mid continues to receive a seemingly endless supply of fresh new color schemes and here is one of the latest to hit stores. From a distance, this version keeps it pretty simple, but a closer look reveals that there is actually quite a bit going on here. This Blazer Mid features a black mesh upper with a smooth black leather toe box and eyelets. The Swoosh and upper heel panel are constructed with a metallic silver material and a white midsole with a black toe cap adds to the classic Blazer look, but its the Volt highlights that place the cherry on top. The vibrant Nike favorite graces the tongue label, laces and stitching, as well as the entire outsole. These may not have the high profile of some other Blazer releases, but this colorway is still looking pretty good and can be found now at Premier.

Nike Air Max 90 - White - Royal - Black




The Nike Air Max 90 is easily one of the most beloved running models of all time, and even though we have seen so many new colorways dropped in recent years, it’s still exciting to see a hot new color scheme come along. After pushing the limits of Air Max 90 boldness, Nike has chosen a simpler, more classic-looking style for this model. This shoe features a white upper with mesh sections on the toe box and the ankle panel. Contrasting black and royal blue accents pop off of the white base and create a color scheme that looks like it could definitely have been released in 1990. This Air Max 90 has a clean look with some classic appeal and be copped right now on eBay. Via 95Soleman.

Maybe the combination to the Vans Vault is 1-1-1, cos these joints are as beautiful as simple gets. This new Sk8-Hi features a nice baby blue construction. In truth, it’s all the same colour leather, but the perforations on the side panels along with the laces give the visual appearance of a tonal makeup. Either way, they look dope atop Vans’ signature vulc sole and should be available at your local Vans Vault retailers now. via Complex

Nike Blazer Mid ND - Ice Breaker - White - Purple





With the simplicity of the Blazer design, Nike has a lot of options for spicing up the upper and have recently begun experimenting with decorative stitching. You may remember seeing the recent Black/Neo-Turquoise Ice Breaker edition, and now this latest Blazer Mid ND uses the same design, but with a different color scheme. The shoe keeps it pretty clean with a solid white leather upper and midsole with Neutral Grey sections on the toe and heel. The highlight of the shoe however are the purple accents which appear on the laces, heel logo and on the pointed stitching pattern that appears across the entire side of the upper.
