A Perfect Fit: Nike Blazer Low sacai KAWS

KAWS has developed his relationship with Nike and Jordan sneakers since first debuting with them in 2008, leaving his mark on models like the Air Max 90 and Air Jordan 4. And while his previous Nike and Jordan releases have swayed more towards greyscale, this year’s selection of three Nike Blazer Low sacais opt for a more colorful palette. This collection of sneakers brings vibrancy to the opposing steely colors of winter, combining bright reds, blues, and purples. 2022 is sure to continue KAWS’ colorful takeover of the silhouette, as official release details of the rumored “Reed” colorway are expected to make headlines any time. Whether you want your clothing to match the sneakers or you want the kicks to be the main attraction, each item was carefully selected to meet your needs.

KAWS x sacai Flock Print T-Shirt

For those that don’t know, the three KAWS x sacai x Nike Blazers were originally teased as part of KAWS’ and sacai’s 2021 collaborative lookbook for their fall/winter collection. Called Wearable Art, this collection not only featured these signature shoes, but also showcased a collection of sweaters, coats, fleeces, and tees. The tee, in particular, is one of the more lowkey offerings from the collection, as the collaborative graphic piece features both brands stacked atop each other on a sacai-supplied white garment. There’s nothing wrong with matching in head-to-toe KAWS and sacai, as the collection also features hats, jackets, and socks to go with the sneakers. With all of that Wearable Art, you’ll be a walking museum.

Supreme KAWS Chalk Logo Hooded Sweatshirt

Bring color to your fit with this Chalk Logo hoodie from KAWS and Supreme. The two entities have been partnering together since 2008, dropping a selection of apparel, with tees that resell for over $500 on the secondary market. Supreme reissued the popular KAWS take on the Box Logo tees and hoodies this past summer, giving fans a second chance to get the collaborative 2011 collection. This hoodie showcases Supreme’s iconic Box Logo with a KAWS-designed chalk outline graphic, and the color adds more to the hoodie’s aesthetic alongside its straightforward graphic. The hoodie’s washed navy hue will complement any of the bold Nike Blazer colorways.

KAWS x Uniqlo x Sesame Street XX Sweatshirt

Sometimes the best thing to wear with loud sneakers is a subtle outfit. But subtlety doesn’t have to be boring. This black crewneck from KAWS and Uniqlo brings just the right amount of spunk to a minimalist look. Paying homage to KAWS’ work and his 2005 OriginalFake clothing brand, Uniqlo featured some of KAWS’ iconic motifs and characters on their tees, plush toys, and other staple pieces. Their partnership would last until 2019 and gave birth to this black crewneck featuring KAWS’ signature XXs. Keep warm this season while easily matching each Blazer Low pair from the Nike, sacai, and KAWS collab.  

Casio G-Shock DW-5600SKE-7

If you’re looking for another low-key hitter to match both your KAWS sweatshirt and sneakers, try out this transparent timepiece from Casio G-Shock. The Japanese watchmaker has constructed some of the world’s most durable watches since 1974, introducing a variety of styles over the years. This DW-5600 in particular comes from Casio’s Transparent Pack, featuring a transparent band and body. It’s a light accessory that doesn’t take anything away from the main star of the outfit but still provides additional flair to whatever you pair with it.

Prada Re-Edition 2000 Mini Bag Nylon Red

Going green doesn’t necessarily have to mean sacrificing style, and no one knows that better than Prada. This re-edition from Prada is their latest interpretation of their classic 2000 mini bag. What makes it different from the previous version is the updated Re-Nylon construction, which is Prada’s repurposed material made of recycled purified plastic trash. Even though it’s a green bag, its red color will pair well with the red Blazer Low from the Nike, sacai, and KAWS pack. 

Nike x sacai Women’s Skirt Black University Gold

Releasing alongside Nike and sacai’s debut LD Waffle collaboration from 2019, the two brands dropped a collection of women’s apparel. Inspired by the movement of the human body, the apparel is constructed from vintage Windrunner and Sportswear jackets from Nike. This skirt features a mixture of pieces taken from Nike jackets, such as the arms, zippers, and cuffs. Its layered look will help your outfit stay on theme with each Blazer Low’s similar vibe.   

Moncler Coutard Short Down Jacket Night Blue

No matter how fire your fit is, it’s important to dress appropriately for the weather. In many parts of the world, temperatures are dropping both fast and early for this upcoming winter season, so come prepared with a jacket that not only keeps you warm but also keeps you looking your best. Moncler’s Coutard down jacket brings the heat on colder days, featuring the brand’s signature Boudin quilting, a shiny Night Blue nylon laqué finish, and elastic hem and cuffs to keep you bundled up. As far as jackets go, it is on the more expensive side, but with that price tag, you’re getting a quality product that will match any shoe you pair with it for years to come, especially these Blazers.
