The Nike SB Blazer Got the WACKO MARIA Treatment
- by Nick Demaria
- Release date: October 31, 2020
Nike SB has teamed up with the Japanese streetwear brand WACKO MARIA to reimagine its classic skate shoe The SB Blazer (which pioneered as a basketball shoe but was later adopted by skateboarders).
The Blazer Low Was Released October 31, Priced at $85
The Japanese brand retrofits the iconic design for skating while adding signature flourishes. Black suede overlays the upper, while the Swooshes are done up in a snakeskin print. There’s also embroidery in Kanji that translates to Heaven/Tokyo position on the heel. The co-branded sock liners are the perfect finish for the collaborative silhouette.
The Nike SB Blazer Low x WACKO MARIA has been sold out at nike.com, but the silhouette can still be found on some third-party sites starting at $120 and going up.
