It appears that seldom-seen decorative embroidery is on the comeback with even more options joining a special flora collection focused around the Nike Blazer and Air Force 1. After previewing the aforementioned silhouettes in their “Pomegranate” duds, the Blazer and Uptown return adorning a new plant species, Indigofera Tinctoria — commonly known as True Indigo.
For the Blazer, we see a flower-bearing branch stitched over the top of a full white canvas-constructed sneaker. As the plant is one of the original sources of indigo dye, it’s only natural that Nike would include the blueish hue on the release, found here on the Swoosh and rear paneling. The latter arrives with embroidered facts on the fruit, including the scientific name, where it’s commonly found, and more. Caramel suede overlays rest across the forefoot and heel, while similar hues are found at the corked tongue tags. Completing the design is a set of white laces to match the midsoles, and a dark cinder rubber outsole underfoot.
A release date for the Nike Blazer Mid “Indigo” is yet to be revealed, but you should expect to see these hit stores over the next few months. Until more news arrives, you can enjoy a first look at the pair here below, and be sure to keep your eyes locked on our official Twitter account for further updates.
