As we enter the warmer months, we’re all in search of clean kicks. This year, I’m urging you to leave the Stan Smiths for everybody else and get on the hunt for a pair of Nike sacais, like the green and gray Blazer. You can’t find these shoes at your local Factory Outlet or the Nike website; you’ll need to hit the secondary market. But there are plenty of pairs available at prices ranging from totally doable to wallet crippling. For this shoe, you need to hunt — which is part of the fun. Once you do land yourself a pair, just watch the heads turn. It’s not everyday you don a pair of museum-grade sneakers.
