A strapping black model

There seems to be a seemingly unlimited number of limited edition trainers coming out all the time but few are this black.

The Nike Blazer High V Lux is based on the classic Nike Blazer and though purist trainer boffs might disagree this take on the classic is much more stylish than the original. Often when companies produce black versions of their products they cannot help themselves but introduce a splash of colour - a dash of brown here or a red line there. Not so with these shoes. They are strictly black on black .

Apart from the unlined tumbled soft grain leather upper with a cracked leather swoosh the most striking feature is the five-strap velcro closure.
