Nike & sacai Link Up For This Year’s Wildest Release

Release Date:

The Waffle and the Blazer reworked

We at Daily love reworked versions of classic shoes. And clearly you do too. Virgil’s Off-White and Nike collaboration has turned heads and overall shook the sneaker community. Now Nike has linked up with sacai to rework the Nike Blazer and the Nike LDV Waffle.

This collection with feature two different silhouettes with two colorways each, adding up to 4 different shoes. The collection basically doubles elements of they shoe. With the Waffle, you get two Nike Swooshs, two tongues, each panel is also doubled. One colorway is labeled as Gusto Green, with Safety Orange and Varsity Maize accents. The other colorway is a Varsity Blue, with Red and Yellow Accents.

The reworked Blazer is intriguing. It also features the double Swoosh and the double tongue. It also features two sets of laces on the shoe, and the panel on the back of the shoe is set HUGE. There is a Black and University Blue colorway, as well as a Varsity Maize, Navy, and Red colorway.

Collaborations help push brands forward. It allows more creativity and can allow creatives show different elements of a shoe, that maybe the manufacturing didn’t know could be exploited and played with. sacai did just that. The double panels, double Nike Swoosh’s, and even the double laces on the Blazers just look crazy. and something about that excites me. Im glad they also added the Waffle to this. The Waffle is where all this started, and to see it get reworked is enticing. The colorways are loud, as they should be. A shoe this crazy needs to be loud. This reminds me of the undercover and Nike React Element 87’s. Obnoxious, yet fitting. Count me in on this sacai, I like this.

release details.

Look for this whole collection to release April 19th, 2019 at very select Nike retailers, Nike.com, and the SNKRS app. I don’t think these will be easy to get, but keep your fingers crossed.
