Nike has just released a new iteration of its classic Blazer model. It is the new collaboration with Yuta Hosokawa’s brand READYMADE. The result is a new silhouette deconstructed using the Japanese brand’s own DIY techniques.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nike x READYMADE<\/strong> results in a new Blazer<\/strong> sneaker concept. Its deconstructed shape is the focus of criticism and praise because it gives the shoe a new version that is far from its original design.\u00a0The first thing that catches the eye is the wavy Swoosh<\/strong>, which is longer and thinner than what we are used to on Nike sneakers.<\/p>\n

“We deconstructed the Blazer and recreated it without losing sight of its DNA,”<\/strong> says Hosokawa. “I have been playing basketball since I was in third grade. The first pair of shoes I bought for myself were Nikes. That\u2019s how I came to like fashion.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

In keeping with the READYMADE philosophy<\/strong>, 15% of the shoe’s sole is made from Nike Grind<\/strong>, which is a blend of recycled materials that come from Nike’s manufacturing waste and other worn-out sneakers.<\/p>\n
