Sacai and Nike together again

10 years have passed since the first Sacai fashion show in Paris, and has also this season been one of the great protagonists of the French fashion week. Chitose Abe presented the new FW 19 collection, also unveiling a new collaboration with Nike, which has created two hybrid sneakers, one being the LDV and Daybreak and another one is a Blazer and Dunk.

The collaboration with Nike is not new for the label born in Tokyo in 1999, one of the best examples of Japanese deconstructivism and aesthetics. The experimental approach is also evident in these two models, in black and white, very different in color compared to the same concepts already presented during the last PFW, with more intense and contrasting colors. The yellow and the acid tones had characterized the previous collaborations between Sacai and Nike, then the chromatic turn of the LDV Waffle Daybreak and Blazer with the Dunk is one of the aspects that has most attracted our attention.

Two Nike masterpiece have been used. The Daybreak, launched in 1979, is the first model with a straight profile sole, made famous by Jean Benoit Samuelson in Los Angeles' 84. The shoe is a cult design for its linear silhouette, with the plastic insert in the midsole, designed to correct an error of the athlete's posture and that Chitose Abe has exasperated in a very effective way. The sneaker was presented by Sacai in two models, one mainly white and one black, both with gray inserts, double tongue, and double swoosh.

The Blazer with the Dunk continues the lucky year for the model born in 1972 and also revised by Virgil Abloh in his "The Ten" collection. The design is complex and multiplies all the elements of the shoe. Double laces, double swoosh, double sole and double tongue, with rubber outsole cutouts covering the entire part of the heel. On the catwalk, was also shown a Blazer - the colors always black /white/gray - with a zip along the entire neck of the shoe.
