The
nike air zoom spiridon cage 2 white university blue takes Nike’s most elite performance shoe and recreates it with circular design principles. It is Nike’s most sustainably-minded performance shoe to date. Following Nike Basketball’s Cosmic Unity, Nike Running designers were driven by a core belief within the Move to Zero initiative - Nike’s journey toward zero carbon and zero waste - that a product that makes the world better can also make an athlete better. Cosmic Unity set the bar with 25 percent total recycled content by weight; the Alphafly Next Nature advanced it by reaching at least 50 percent total recycled content by weight, making it Nike’s boldest move yet in merging sustainability and performance. Doing so with the crown jewel of racing footwear was an important symbolic choice.
The
nike waffle racer off white black is unlikely to ever completely rid itself of comparisons to some of sacai’s collaborations, but it continues carving out its own path with handfuls of compelling styles. For its latest proposition, the modernized vintage Nike Running design has been redone in a medley of autumn-appropriate colors. Akin to other recently-surfaced options from Nike Sportswear, the newly-launched pair features recycled materials across its upper and sole unit. The latter component indulges in Nike Grind, which is created from scraps from the brand’s manufacturing processes. Top-halves on the shoe forgot their standard ultra-breathable build in favor of one much more suited for the cold weather. “Rattan” takes over the Waffle One‘s quilted nylon base while “Brown Kelp” deliver contrasting flair via suede overlays around the toe, along the tongue and at the heel. The tongues’ underside and sock-liner both boast furry fleece construction, which will ensure toes stay toasty throughout autumn and winter.
Dressed in a Pure Platinum, Hyper Royal, Smoke, and Summit White color scheme. This latest offering of the
nike vapormax plus black and white comes dressed Grey hues highlighted with bold Blue contrasting accents throughout. It features a Flyknit build and traditional lacing system differing from last year’s model. Other details includes the “Move to Zero” logo printed on the insoles with recycled Nike Grind materials applied on the clear VaporMax outsole completes the design.
Though Off-White and Nike often come together to meld ideas, the two are equally guilty of borrowing one another’s. The
nike blazer mid 77 vintage white black is just one of many examples, its modified details an uncanny reflection of Virgil Abloh’s existing concepts. Here, this colorway - which is comprised primarily of neutrals - makes this much more obvious. The iconic nature of the silhouette itself is put on display, dissected, and then reconstructed with bold modifications. For starters, the blacked out Swoosh is amplified in size, complementing the equally enlarged “NIKE” logo that dresses the heel. Adjacent, the tongue’s own branding follows suit in match of its over-filled foam. And while much more subtle, the construction itself also bears its own tweaks, proffering both paneling and both pronounced as well as contrasted stitching.
