2020 was certainly a year for change. For Nike, they decided to make a change toward the good with their “Move To Zero” initiative, in which they plan to transition manufacturing practices towards a zero impact to the world’s fragile eco-system. Now that 2021 is now here, the genius’ at the swoosh headquarters has a new collaboration to really put this forward-focused conceptualization into full-flight. READYMADE, founded by Yuta Hosokawa, is synonymous with reworking secondhand garments and materials and turning them into pieces of art, their latest canvas results in the READYMADE x Nike Blazer Mid.

From the outset, this newest Blazer Mid colorway displays a DIY aesthetic while still capturing modern-day hype appeal, the core of the upper is comprised of a grey-on-white camouflaged textile that plays host to a plethora of unique overlays. White rubber panels cover the toe cap and heel, a large black rough-cut material is positioned on the medial, and a bizarre distorted “Total Orange” swoosh rests atop of it all. Underfoot and adding its own unique flair to the design sits a bubbled white midsole unit that frames a multicolored “Crater” outer sole, which further cements its eco-friendly ethos. Completing this colorway and contributing to the rich tapestry of the palette is the rough cut tongue, intersecting “Volt” laces, and the READYMADE x trio swoosh branding located on the heel.
