Suede and leather in the same black do two different things to the light, and this toddler Blazer Mid '77 uses both across its upper. The result looks tonal rather than flat.
White is reserved for the retro Swoosh and the midsole, with team orange appearing only in a small branding detail. Fastening is handled twice over: elastic no-tie laces hold the throat, and a concealed hook-and-loop closure lets the shoe open far enough for a small foot to go straight in. The outsole is gum rubber with a herringbone tread. Nike released it in October 2020 at $60. Black toddler pairs tend to stay in the lineup longer than seasonal colors, since they are the ones parents buy to go with everything.
