Nike Blazer High Black/Red

Just in are these Blazer Highs in a black and red colorway. Breaking from the traditional Blazer model, these feature some nice subtle design cues, including a different take on an old logo.

The first design element you probably notice right away is the layer of red leather near the sole. Vertical stitches attach this piece to black suede uppers. Matching that piece is the Swoosh, though not as the normal sewn-on piece. Instead, the Nike logo appears in perforated holes backed with red. Finally, the tongue uses the same hue in nylon.

These dropped today at the Nike Sportswear store at 21 Mercer in the Big Apple, so head down there if these are on your list. If you can wait, these are expected to release at other retailers soon.
