Official Images: KAWS x sacai x Nike Blazer Low in 'Purple' and 'Team Red'
The three-headed from , and Nike has been teased ad nauseam since the beginning of 2021. We've seen 'em , , in blurry leak images and in crystal-clear photos from sacai's 'Wearable Art' collection alike. Now, however, we're seeing the 'Purple' and 'Team Red' colourways in official image form, indicating that a release may be just over the horizon.
Appearing shortly after official images of the popped up, the Nike product shots of the 'Purple' and 'Team Red' show off each low-cut festive style. 'Purple' offers a slightly cooler blend of hues, accenting its regal base with baby blue, pink, soft red and grey, while 'Team Red', a burgundy-like tone ramps up the vibrance by embellishing itself with pops of hot red, aqua blue and yellow.
Though each pair may diverge in colour scheme, they're identical in doubled-up detail. Both boast two Swooshes, two tongues, two sets of laces, chopped-down foam collars, stacked heel counters, branded insoles and KAWS' signature 'XX' motif debossed into the midsole's lateral forefoot. The 'twice as nice' detail might be inherently familiar to any sneakerhead who's followed the work of Chitose Abe's brand and the Swoosh, but KAWS' bright colour palettes bring an entirely new feel to the colab!
An official release date has yet to be announced, but owing to the presence of these official images, you can expect to see both Blazers on SNKRS soon.
