The upcoming Off-White x Nike Blazer “Spooky Pack” is releasing just in time to serve as a reminder that the Fall season isn’t just about Olive and Flax releases. With almost clockwork precision, the start of October signals the oncoming storm of specific Autumn-themed drops. Nike, along with plenty of other brands, is already starting to roll out Fall inspired versions of some of their most recognizable models.
Here, we see a slight flip on that. After all, this part of the year is about more than the leaves changing colors. It’s also about Halloween! Celebrating the occasion is this special pack from Off-White and Nike.
Nike’s Blazer Mid takes on more of the deconstruction that Off-White’s Virgil Abloh has been so fond of. The shoe’s upper elements are flipped inside out to show what they’re made of. The result is a base that appears synthetic as opposed to its usual Canvas construction.
All of the other usual suspects from Nike x Off-White releases are here as well. The tongue is flipped and is given a more robust look thanks in part to its stitch details. The oversize lateral Swoosh branding stands out almost as though it’s separate from the rest of the shoe.
And then, we wouldn’t be able to consider this a true product of this particular collaboration without that signature zip tie. Perhaps just as essential is that recognizable script, just above that Swoosh.
The Blazer Mid model is seeping in Nike’s rich basketball heritage. It’s one of the first shoes that managed to find widespread appeal in the sport. The Blazer was also quickly part of a footwear war on the hardwood that was just beginning to brew as it challenged alternatives such as Converse’s Chuck Taylor All-Star.
