With the National Basketball Association preparing for its 75th anniversary season, we’ve seen a slew of NBA-branded footwear options flood the market. But what about the WNBA? They’re celebrating their 25th year this year, too, putting both leagues at a combined 100 years old — and that’s something worth celebrating. And that’s exactly what the Swoosh has done with this new NBA x WNBA x Nike Blazer Mid — a follower to the recently-revealed Air Force 1 Low for kids.
Like the aforementioned Air Force 1, this Blazer also dons a slew of colors splayed across a split-blocked upper. Without any official confirmations, it’s safe to say that the concoction of colors is meant to represent each league’s franchises. Materials are consistent, too, with satin toes retained, and uppers of basketball-textures and smooth leather Swooshs overlays providing an inverse finish to the Uptown. Both pro leagues are represented at the added lace bling and interior tongue tags, with the entire design coming together atop a simple white sole unit to complete the design.
Grab a detailed look at these hoop-inspired Blazer Mids below, and expect to find these gems on Nike.comover the Fall season. As always, keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account for further updates.
