Nike Blazer Mid “Pomegranate” Confirmed for June 15th Release

Decorative embroidery is a rarely-used tool in Nike’s extensive arsenal of design, but when it does appear, it’s always done tastefully, and with expert execution. With the embellishment rooted in Chinese culture, decorative embroidery is often reserved for special, Chinese-theme releases, the next no different, with the pomegranate also having a storied connection with the country. This Nike Blazer Mid “Pomegranate” honors the humble fruit, which serves as many things; It’s the emblem of the tenth month of the traditional calendar and the sixth of the lunar calendar; its decorations are often gifted as a traditional wedding present, and its touted by Buddha as a symbol of fertility

For the sneaker, we see a fruit-bearing tree stitched over the top of a fully canvas-constructed sneaker of black and beige. The former dresses the upper, eyestay overlays, and tongue, while neutral hues hit the Swoosh and rear overlays. The latter arrives with embroidered facts on the fruit, including the scientific name, where it’s commonly found, and more. 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 “Pomegranate” is yet to be revealed, but you should expect to see these hit stores over the next few months.
