The second shoe in the "Pink Motel Pack" that Nike has thankfully graced us with for SS17 is the Blazer Low XT in White/Prism Pink. Ideal for those of you that prefer more subtle hits of pink, this shoe perfectly combines a clean colourway with peak skate performance.
A full leather upper is the ideal material for this shoe given the colourway, making it nice and easy to keep it clean for longer. Nike's Swooshes on the lateral and medial sidse have been given priority very nicely, coming in pink leather, and meeting a white leather heel bearing black Nike text. The only other branding on the upper is similarly low-key, with a white woven tongue label bearing black Nike SB Blazer Low XT text. Finally, capping off a nice and cohesive colourway is the solid black outsole.
The Blazer is a seriously good skate shoe as it is, but the Blazer XT is even better. The added rubber toecap around the forefoot enhances durability significantly, working with the extra rubber overlay around the front of the midsole to reduce the effects of each ollie and flip trick. Said overlay is textured, too, helping you control your tricks that bit more. Nike SB's signature Zoom Air unit in the heel of the sockliner remains, adding responsive cushioning to the mix, and finally, the herringbone traction-patterned outsole provides maximum grip when skating.
Nike SB's SS17 range of apparel, accessories and footwear is available online here at Attitude, and in our Colchester store.
