Today, we take a closer look at Nike’s collaboration with world-renowned streetwear brand, Stüssy, which is widely believed to be one of the first few streetwear brands who contributed to the rise of streetwear culture.
The Blazer Low and Mid were chosen for this collaboration, with the Low going under the hands of Ohio-bred professional skateboarder Kevin Terpening while the Mid was placed in the hands of Lance Mountain. The Low gets donned up in ‘Black’ with a ‘Palm Green’ swoosh, while the mid gets a light tan treatment otherwise known as the ‘Midwest Gold’ colourway. Both models feature Stüssy’s Stickman logo on the tongue label, Stussy branding on the heel collar, and heavily features hairy suede throughout.
Here’s where it gets interesting. the Mid comes with a leopard stencil for users to spray onto the shoe as part of the whole concept. The Low however, doesn’t get the same treatment.
Both pairs released at Stüssy Kuala Lumpur last weekend, bringing the old and new generation of sneakerheads together. The Blazer Low retailed at RM399 while the Blazer Mid was priced at RM429. It’s been a while since Stüssy and Nike collaborated and if you were wondering whether the release was worth it, rest assured the office believes that this one is definitely worth every penny.
