Nike references a classic coastal rivalry with the ‘NY vs LA’ iteration of the Blazer Mid, featuring an all-black suede upper with Sail-colored Swooshes and a nylon tongue for a vintage appeal. Yellow laces are combined with purple on the tongue to represent the look of the LA Lakers on the right shoe, contrasted by orange laces and blue on the tongue of the left shoe as a tribute to the New York Knicks. NY and LA icons are embroidered onto the heels. The shoes also come with five sets of laces that allow the wearer to customize the look.
