Following up a version of the model that saw the sneakers covered in suede, the new Nike Blazers expand on the brand's offerings by swapping out the textured material for a sleek all-leather upper.
Available in both black and tan, the new Nike Blazers can be paired with just about any ensemble, given that the polished look complements casual looks as well as those verging on semi-formal.
The upper's monochrome colorway is carried to the laces, tongue and inner lining of the sneakers, however it's contrasted with a white sole that maintains the minimalist aesthetic perfectly. The Swoosh logo is meanwhile shown in leather on the sides, with its exaggerated shape bringing a little more depth to the design.
