Cassette Playa and Nike Blazer Hi have collaborated together to create this design. Nike has 36 years of sports heritage and it’s old traditions have combined with the new Cassette Playa. Carri Mundane, based in UK, has worked on the traditional iconic Blazer and invented a remix of the old and new in this Cassette Playa style remix. This Cassette Playa Blazer will be available at the Nike Sportswear 1948 store at Bateman’s Row Shoreditch and some Nike Sportswear retailers.

The line of Cassette Playa Blazer was initially designed for Carri’s Spring/ Summer 2008 “Future Primitive” runway show. The theme of the show was inspired by Carri’s concept of “urban Shamanism.” This term refers to Carri’s way of thinking. Carri has transferred her opinions into her style for the season. For the new season that is shown above, Carri has taken up an idea from Ancient Amazonian hunting rituals and adapted the idea to use for skaters in a post apocalyptic city.

This Cassette Playa used a minimalistic approach. Carri kept the look of the Blazer’s striking elongated swoosh centered on the shoe. The midsole is dark blue and blends well with the orange colored upper. The back tab at the heel is light blue. The overall look is sleek and sophisticated.
