Nike Sportswear continues to play loose with the Blazer’s Mid and High distinctions, to the point that there are two distinct versions of the silhouette currently circulating with the former designation. The less common at the moment, though a closer resemblance to the Mids as we’ve come to know them in recent years is exemplified in the recent Vintage Multicolor pack including Dunks and the new Bruin Mid. The other, considerably more common look is the Nike Blazer Mid Suede VNTG whose proto-outrigger and smooth toe had become synonymous with the High. But semantics don’t matter all that much when we’re dealing with a style as beautiful as this new Neo Turquoise suede edition, and you can see it up close for yourself before pre-ordering in advance of the January 2013 release at Inflammable.
