WMNS Nike Blazer High – Turbo Green/Club Purple-White
The women have been receiving a lot of heat from Nike over the past couple of months in one of the brand’s most beloved models, the Blazer. Just a few weeks ago we saw a two-pack of Blazers release exclusively for the women as part of a collaboration between X-Girl and Nike Sportswear and now we’ve spotted yet another Blazer just for the ladies.
In what is sure an eye popping design Nike designed this Blazer High using a mixture of Club Purple and Turbo Green throughout an upper featuring a pattern which one could see incorporated into something like a Mexican blanket, or a stylized quilt. The fabric isn’t quilted but it does appear to have a coarse texture to it. White leather (which looks like it could be patent leather) is fixed along the base of the upper as well as on the Nike Swoosh and heel tab which features Purple Nike embroidery. Turbo green finishes up the toe and lace panels which include a tonal safari print and an added touch of Club Purple is thrown in on the tongue tag, laces and outsole.
Select Nike retailers such as Wish have the sneakers in stock and ready to ship to your door so hit em up now if your interested. Click here to peep a few more photos of the detailing.
Nike Air Force 1 Low 07 – White/Pine Green
Making for what could be a perfect release to honor St. Patrick’s Day comes this clean pair of Air Force 1 Low’s from Nike Sportswear. It hasn’t been stated exactly by Nike Sportswear that these have anything to do with St. Patty’s Day but given the fact they’re part of their Spring 2010 Collection and set to hit US distributors this weekend one very well could believe the White/Pine Green color scheme in one which pays tribute to Saint Patrick, the most recognized patron saint of Ireland. Simply done the Air Force Ones sport a White leather upper accented by just the right amount of Pine Green on the Swoosh, various Nike branding, lining and outsole.
For those who can’t wait a few more days until March 6th when the sneakers are expected to hit retailers, or for those of you who think you may not be able to find them in your area you can shoot over to eBay to order yourself a pair now.
Nike Blazer “Copper Penny” Customs
The Copper Foamposites are so much a fan favorite that they’ve inspired numerous brands and individual artists to capitalize off the sneakers and feed off the energy. We’ve come across quite a few t-shirts honoring the shoes, some of which we’ve showed you over the past couple of days and now we’ve been provided with some images of a custom Nike Blazer inspired by the Copper Foams.
JBF Customs, the brains behind the adidas Superstar “Refresh STR” and the Nike SB Blazer “Denier Quilted” just hit us up with some shots of what he calls the Copper Penny Blazers. Making use of one of Nike’s latest Blazer’s JBF Customs designed the shoes using a Copper chroma material throughout the upper with Black suede on the toe, lace panels, tongue and heel tab. Black leather was then stitched up to the Nike Swoosh and heel spine, and another piece of Copper chroma was added to the tongue tag. The chroma material is by far one of the crazies materials we’ve seen as it gives the sneakers an entirely different look depending on the angle of light hitting them, making them a pretty tough subject to photograph for thankfully JBF Customs did what he could to give us a look at the shoes at various angles since pictures speak louder then words.

Nike Sweet Classic Low Canvas – Stealth/Black/Yellow
The Nike Sweet Classic is consistently overlooked and never get’s the welcoming we believe it should. The time-tested styling is just as fashionable today as it was yesteryear and with the vast selection of color options there’s bound to be one or two which you can work up with a nice fit. At a price of $56 you can’t go wrong either, which is how much this Stealth/Black/Yellow version of the Nike Sweet Classic Low Canvas retails for. A stiff canvas in Stealth constructs the upper while leather is used for the Yellow heel tab and the Black Nike Swoosh. Red Nike embroidery appears on the heel tab, and on the Black tongue tag, while a White sole unit with a Grey toe cap, a Yellow pinstripe and a Yellow Nike stamp further accents the upper. Wrapping of the sneakers is a pair of Red insoles which include a homage to Blue Ribbon Sports, the company in which Bill Bowerman and Philip Knight founded before officially branding the company as Nike in 1978.
For those who are interested you can pre-order the sneakers now through Finishline. They’ll be shipping from the warehouse to your door Mid March. Click here for a closer look.
(Product) RED x Nike Dunk Low
Back in November Nike teamed up with (Product) RED, a campaign organized by Bono and a slew of soccer players to help fight AIDS in Africa, to put together a collection of products who’s proceeds would be donated to programs that help fight the savage disease. The first co-branded item to release was a pair of Red laces which Nike launched aside their newly launched “Lace Up. Save Lives” campaign which carried the message the best way it could. Buy a pair a laces and you can help fight the deadly virus which kills over 6,000 people and infects more then 11,000 more each and every day in Africa.
With a dedication to help a great cause Nike’s followed up their (RED) shoelaces with a pair of Nike Dunk Low’s designed in collaboration with Product (RED). The Dunk Low is slaughtered in a color combo on Red and Black on a upper fabricated from leather with some sort of Black pattern embroidered on the heel panel. Nike’s Red shoelaces which they designed with (Product) RED keeps you laced up and the co-branded logo which smashes up the logos of both companies is included on the tongue tag and lace locks.
No official release date is available at this time but thanks to StreetThing we’ve been provided with a glimpse of whats to come.
