About the Nike Blazer Mid '77 TD 'Oil Green'

Polyester is an unusual upper for a Blazer, which normally runs leather or suede, and it changes the character of the shoe. The material takes color differently, so the oil green here looks matte where a leather pair would look glossy.

Three more greens fill out the scheme. Medium olive and steel green sit alongside the base, and sail provides the only light break, which means the whole shoe stays within one narrow band of the spectrum. Nothing contrasts, and that appears to be the intention. The price was $75, the top of the toddler Blazer Mid '77 range, and the release date was October 11, 2021. Alternative materials have shown up more often in kids sizing since Nike started running sustainability-led colors through the line.
