Born in Laguna Beach, CA way back in 1980, Stussy has since risen to the pinnacle of street culture brands. They’re not quite streetwear, not entirely surfwear, and 100% true to themselves, exactly why their “cool” factor is intact nearly 40 years after their inception. They’re no stranger to Nike collaborations either, working with the Swoosh on everything from SBs to Air Max since the early ’00s. Now, they’re linking up with Nike SB again, this time for a special Nike SB Blazer. Premiered on Instagram by Tremaine Emory of No Vacancy Inn, the new Blazers feature a shaggy sandy suede upper with a large black Swoosh, black laces, and Stussy branding on both the tongue and heel. Emory’s pair offers a little extra as well. It’s a 1-of-48, with hand-painted, leopard-esque detailing done by a name that any SB lover is sure to be familiar with: Lance Mountain. The shoes also appeared with a hand-signed, individually numbered envelope. No official drop information for these striking new Blazers is available yet — and the retail release will likely come without any painted detailing — but keep it locked here for further details as they’re available, and enjoy a look at the new SBs below while you wait.
