Since the series launched in early 2009, Nike Sportswear’s Vintage Blazers have almost exclusively come in suede uppers to match the rustic look of their oxidized, pre-yellowed soles.

In examining a recent WMNS Air Max 90 release from Nike Sportswear, we noted that they were the first such model for ladies since a grey woolen pair from the NSW VacTech collection touched down just before the turn of the year. And though we’ve seen a couple other pairs since then with molded Swooshes, those marked the end of the VT capsule, or so we thought. Some six weeks later, here comes a new Nike Blazer Mid VT in black wool that manage to reprise an even older Blazer Mid design motif by adding ticked laces like a few pairs from last summer

Diamond Supply Co. has been slowly but surely building their footwear catalog since the initial teaser images were previewed in late 2010, and their latest drop includes a new design that most sneakerheads will find familiar thanks to its fairly obvious influences.

“One man’s junk is another man’s…” Gabriel Dishaw, the self-proclaimed ‘junk artist’, is known in Sneaker News circles for his sick Nike sculptures made of old computer and machine parts. If you were impressed by his Nike Blazer Pentium 1.0 , his Air Max 2011 , or his entire ‘No So New Shoes’ exhibit , check out the Nike Free Run 2, which he calls the Nike Free Time Y2K; focusing on the theme of ‘time’, Dishaw used old watch bands for structure while adding machine keys on the signature Free outsole and other computer parts to make up this size 9.5, 15 lb

Being that both models carry roughly the same silhouette, there’s naturally some confusion between the Nike Blazer Mid and High.

The latest round of Nike Blazer Mid ABs was previewed in early December sporting brass zippers , but Monday’s look at the Cargo Khaki release revealed it had been switched over to a tonal tooth-and-key setup. These kinds of shifts tend to carry over to packs both informal and fully named, so we expected something similar from the black edition and any others to follow in their footsteps, but this new Hazelnut drop proves that not only is brass still very much an option, but it can look quite impressive, especially next to dark brown tape and a matching leather sockliner

Most sneakerheads, given three wishes, would almost certainly pick at least one of their holy grails, and since you’re not allowed to ask for more wishes, here’s another way of taking that theme meta. Sneaker customizer and Blazer loyalist JBF is back with his latest take on the most classic of Nike Basketball silhouettes, this new Nike Blazer High ’Jafar’ custom inspired by the villain from Disney’s 1992 animated feature Aladdin .

90′s babies may have to sit this one out but hopefully not-as all of you oughta be familiar with ‘The Glove’, and no we’re not talking about the upcoming Gary Payton retro . Imitating the ever so gaudily sequenced glove that first popped up on Michael Jackson’s hand in his Motown 25 performance, sneaker customizer extraordinaire JBF puts together another hit with this Nike Blazer Mid redux. The pair nails the colors and the disco ball look, using the all over treatment to black out the Nike branding on the heel tab and tongue tag

It seems like the vast majority of Nike Blazer High Suede releases in recent years have also come with VNTG in their title, but here’s a case where we’re not getting the pre-yellowed sole or rough-edged nylon tongue. And judging by how nice the finished tonal navy tongue and lining look on this pair, that change might well prove to be another well-loved look for fans of this classic basketball shoe.

It’s the Air Force 1 and Dunk Highs that Nike Sportswear have favored in recent months when it comes to creating boot-based hybrid designs, but don’t forget that another, older model was the one to initially carve that trail. And while the Nike Blazer Mid ACG ‘Outdoor Pack’ isn’t nearly as rugged as the Air Magma-inspired edition or the Pendleton collaboration from 2008, they do manage to nail the outdoorsy theme thanks to details like the ticked corded laces, hook eyelets on the top loop and two colorways you’d expect to see from any sneaker brand’s nature-oriented releases
