The PACKER BY JUST BLAZE X SAUCONY GRID SD CASINO takes its inspiration from the vintage Ralph Lauren Casino shirt.

Much like the Snow Beach jacket, which inspired the trio’s last collaboration, the shirt, which released in 1993, gained huge popularity in the hip-hop community. With the shirt as its inspiration, the shoe sports a ripstop and suede upper dominated by red, with hits of green and yellow breaking things up. There are plenty of nice touches throughout, including a roulette wheel design on the tongue label, 00 and 36 embroidered on the left and right heel respectively (which represent the first and last numbers found on a traditional roulette wheel) and a white detail on the formstripe on the lateral side as a nod to the ball.

Branding is kept relatively minimal throughout, with JUST BLAZE text on the lateral side and PACKER on the medial side. A white midsole adds some contrast down below, with a black outsole and heel clip rounding things off. The shoes will release as part of a collection that includes a t-shirt, tote bag, bucket hat, and a special deck of bicycle playing cards and dice. We always approve of a bit of ’90s flavour, and the theme for this shoe gives us a real wave of nostalgia – that’s a tick in the ‘win’ column for us.

The PACKER BY JUST BLAZE X SAUCONY GRID SD CASINO will drop first at a special pop-up in New York City on October 16. Keep checking back with us for updates on a if and when these will get a wider release.
