The collaboration with the Hosokawa team stays true to the Blazer’s DNA and adds a handmade touch to a timeless silhouette.
The new Blazer comes in collaboration with Yuta Hosokawa and the brand READYMADE which revises the design through a DIY-inspired aesthetic vision, staying true to the Blazer’s DNA by adding a touch of craftsmanship typical of Japanese craftmanship.
This model features a layered upper with a foam base and overlay side panels.The Swoosh logo sewn halfway is thinner and longer than usual, resembling the 1971 logo version. Moving downwards, there is a bulky and irregular midsole, designed using clay molds tailored to balance the shoe’s lateral profile. The rubber sole is made with about 15% of Nike Grind, a mix of recycled materials from industrial production scrap and old shoes, referencing READYMADE’s typical upcycling philosophy.
Both colorways of the READYMADE x Nike Blazer Mid will be officially released on February 27 on SNKRS and other selected accounts.
