It cannot be denied that Nike SB and Michael Lau have surely made numerous collaborations in the previous years. But this specific pair that you will see is somehow a secret pair since this is a sample that was never released. Most of you would remember the sneaker pair of Nike SB Blazers that Michael Lau made with Nike not so long ago. This came also with a special edition box. These shoes are all new in looks now and impressive in its own right.
These have uppers in predominant white color with red accents all throughout the rest of the portion. Hence, the white is accentuated well with the red color that makes it look very pleasing and will surely make you wonder why it was never released. What we think is that maybe Michael Lau was not so satisfied with the colors himself and so he decided not for Nike to release it.
