sacai x KAWS x Nike Blazer Low is finally here as the Japanese brand confirmed the launch of four colorways along with official release information.
Back in March of this year, sacai debuted its Fall/Winter 2021 menswear collection which introduced a collaboration with American artist KAWS. In addition to co-branded apparel for the family including women and kids, there was a presentation of the collaborative Nike Blazer Low. While clothing dropped back in March, fans continued to wait patiently for the two brands’ joint take on the classic Nike model.
On Monday, sacai announced the release of the Nike Blazer Low in collaboration with KAWS, which is set to drop in four colorways in two launches. The “Neptune Blue” and “Team Red” color options are set to accompany the first rollout.
Like the brand’s previous update to the Blazer Low, sacai keeps its signature touch present with the “seeing double” concept on the iconic Swoosh, puffy foam tongue, and laces. Not shying away from the use of color reminiscent of his art, KAWS then steps in splashing the model with a combination of electric hues. The artist’s distinctive “XX” emblem find itself stamped on the midsole along with the insoles and tongues, joining the sacai and Nike logos to further sum up the feels of the three-way branded mashup.
Exclusive for the Aoyama store’s release, sacai will be offering a special attachable zipper in each colorway of the shoe. The shoe accessory ultimately offers an even cooler update to the Blazer Low as it covers the laces to appear as a no-tie lace system.
The sacai x KAWS x Nike Blazer Low is set to drop in “Neptune Blue” and “Team Red” this Friday, November 26th at sacai online and its Aoyama store as well as KAWSONE. The two colorways will also see a Nike SNKRS release on Saturday, November 27th. Retail is $140.
The second drop will consist of the “Reed” and “Purple Dusk” colorways, releasing on Thursday, December 9th at sacai followed by a SNKRS drop on Friday, December 10th.
