Acronym is one of the rare brands that can seemingly do no wrong, from its library of inventive technical apparel to its history of dynamic Nike collaborations. But such faith in the brand is about to be put to the test with the reveal of its next sneaker collab, the Blazer Low.
Images have surfaced for Acronym’s futuristic take on the Blazer Low, which looks to be straight out of a sci-fi flick and not necessarily a good one. A bulky plastic cage is affixed to the heel with no discernible function outside of giving the appearance of an exoskeleton. Screws anchor the two-piece contraption into place, meaning you could shed a layer if you’re looking to pare down the protrusion — but there are still plenty of gripes to be had with the nearly 50-year-old shoe taken into the future.
