Forty Percent Against Rights x Nike SB Zoom Blazer Low Surfaces in Second Colorway

Founded by Japanese streetwear legend Tetsu Nishiyama in 1993 — his first fully-fledged venture — FORTY PERCENT AGAINST RIGHTS has unveiled a brand-new collaborative creation with Nike SB on the effortlessly skatable Zoom Blazer Low.

FPAR’s fundamental principle is based on the idea that any original artwork changed at least 40% no longer has its rights — and that belief is brought into the spotlight in a literal fashion, as this pair doesn’t distance itself too from their 2019 effort with Nike SB on the Dunk Hi. Keeping in that theme, the FPAR x Nike SB Zoom Blazer Low continues a greyscale approach, with slate-grey suede uppers working into tonal sole units before a slew of contrasting materials and textures topple the low-cut trainer in droves. Textured Swooshes work in unison with leather tongues and co-branded heel overlays in both finish and hue, whilst a light grey suede set of eyestay overlays are plastered on top. There’s a pop of snakeskin at the lateral forefoot, and more co-branding found at the insoles, and special forefoot dubrae bling. Lastly, Tetsu has flipped the tongue tags from shoe to shoe for an interesting final touch.

Update 12.08.21

A second colorway of the FPAR x Nike SB Zoom Blazer Low has appeared in tonal tans, complete with gold finishes to the forefoot dubraes. Grab a detailed look at both pairs below, and stay tuned into the official HOUSE OF HEAT Twitter account for further updates on the collection’s expected release, which at this stage is expected to be before the year’s end.
