The Nike SB Zoom Blazer Mid Lance Mountain QS launches with us tomorrow at 8am.
Lance Mountain has headed up some of the most desirable Nike SB creations among skaters and sneaker heads alike, and this is most definitely one of his best to date. The vibrant Swoosh draws cues from vintage rock posters that traditionally feature 3-colour split fountain fades, an obscure but wonderfully referenced piece of cult design also utilised by Lance for his board graphics. The design is quintessentially 'Lance' and provides a concise overview of some of the things he values and has been inspired by throughout his vast career.
The counterparts of the shoe are executed in a seemingly simple black and white, however upon closer look we see the pool skating culture that has been such a huge part of Lance's clife referenced with an embossed heel panel that pulls cues from the classic tiling found on backyard pools. This is paired with some contrast embroidery, with the 78 representing the year that Lance’s early influences made him want to skate in the Blazer, and the 17 representing his ongoing love of it all, present day.
