As the namesake inspiration behind The Swooshes monicker, the Goddess of Victory has served as both a literal and metaphorical representation of the Beaverton brand for decades. Returning to the banner’s lifestyle offerings, the winged Greek goddess returns to now outfit the Nike Blazer Mid infused with a contemporary makeover.
Boasting a revitalized semi-translucent sole unit, the rounded aesthetic employed below is contrasted by puffed-up leather overlays stretched across the upper while an added lip of leather enacts a full-length mudguard. Thickening its crisp white mid-foot Swoosh, the neutral ensemble embarks upon a split color blocking as further colorless shades envelop the forefoot, laces and the embossed tumbled leather tongue tab while “Light Smoke Grey” hues consume the heel. While the updated tread and midsole underfoot explore an icy blue finish, a similar faint blue treatment concludes atop the quarter overlay and tongue construction.
Accompanied by cork insoles and premium leather hang tags bearing the Greek Goddesses motif, enjoy official images of the women’s-exclusive Nike Blazer Mid “Goddess of Victory” below as we await further release details.
For more summer-ready efforts from the Beaverton-based brand, the Nike Vapormax Plus recently came cured in a clad burgundy colorway.
