| Nike ACG Blazer Mid Posted: 04 May 2009 12:45 PM PDT |  Nike ACG is at it again with a attacking the Nike Blazer Mid with a new treatment from the All Conditions Gear camp. Although we saw two versions of the ACG Blazer last year with the boot-like Brown Suede version, and the Pendleton version, this colorway is definitely a looker.
Nike ACG Blazer Mid gets a mix of blue, grey and white in a very Hoya-like combination. A unique treatment to the midsole, cut-outs that reveal the Air Unit which is disguised by ACG mesh inserts. THe clean colorway and simple lines of the Blazer are touched up with contrasting stitching on the side of the forefoot, while a classic ACG logo is applied to the tongue. Fresh kicks available at Flauge for $100. Click here for detailed shots of the latest from the ACG line. |
