Following a rugged redesign of the Vomero 5, Beaverton is introducing the Nike Blazer to the trend of “gorpcore” outfits.

It is readily noticeable that despite the Blazer being the basis for this new design, minimal to none of its original construction remains in the Roam. The sole unit could not be more different, swapping the flat, vulcanized sole for a robust, tread-heavy alternative that extends onto the upper with substantial rubber foxing.

While it will operate in a completely distinct manner, there’s an intelligent reference to the traditional lifestyle model through the midsection, accentuated towards the toe to hint at the original hardware.

Beyond that, the upper retains the segmented body and comparable eyestays and toe-cap. Nevertheless, the foot entry has been transformed dramatically. An inner bootie is incorporated into this model, featuring a pull-tab for a hassle-free entry and exit. This alteration is complemented by an extra loop affixed to the tongue.

For the Nike Blazer Mid Roam and its market launch, four color variations are available: blue on black, beige on white, all-black, and a distinctly outdoor-themed black on olive.

Early signals suggest that the Blazer Mid Roam will hit the market and Nike.com this Holiday season, priced at $120. Take a glance at all four styles just below.

    Official Release Date for the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen”

    The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.

    After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.

    The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.

    While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.

    As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

    For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

    Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation

    This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.

    Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.

    In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.

    Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
