Japanese women’s shoe brand X-Girl has teamed up with Nike to create a new Blazer Mid. Available in black and silver, both versions of the shoe are equally eye-catching considering they look like they were sprinkled with fairy dust. Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman, these shoes are sweeter than a Savannah stroll in the summer time.
