Nike Blazer High - Nintendo Wii

Themed sneakers can be either hit or miss. I know about 99% of my friends would give their firstborn for a pair of "MF Doom" SB's but would kill themselves if forced to even touch a pair of the "Day of the Dead" SB's. Nike's releases are like Jamal Crawford's success; either really, really shitty or unbelievably dope. Even when the actual theme is nice, it's execution is detestable, similar to the 2nd season of the Boondocks. It's absurd how inconsistent Nike is with their themed releases. However, I'm hyped about these. Nike is releasing a "Nintendo Wii" pack, the first release being a high-top Blazer. The soles are clear with a light blue tint, like the cover used for the Wii nunchuck. There's bright red piping around the swoosh and on the tongue in a power logo (pictured below), ostrich-skin on the heel tab and the laces are of the same material as the nunchuck lanyard. It's not often that Nike is able to release a dope sneaker with a commercial theme. I'm definitely copping. I should probably get a Wii though at some point.
