Purple and royal blue on white is a harder pairing than it sounds, because both accents compete for attention. On this women's Blazer Mid '77 they are kept to separate jobs, which stops them from muddying each other. The upper is white leather with the flat panelling the Blazer has always used, cut at mid height so the collar sits just under the ankle bone. Fierce purple and varsity royal appear in the branding and trim rather than across whole panels.
Nike put the MSRP at $110, the standard rate for the women's Blazer Mid '77 line. The model number refers to the mid-1970s spec Nike returned to for the retro, roughly four years after the original Blazer reached the basketball court in 1973.
