What was the purpose of the Nike Blazer?
When the Blazer first came to market, textured and vulcanized rubber soles were a staple of basketball shoes, giving players the traction they needed for hard cuts and strong post moves. The leather upper was also standard, as it was the only material (before the age of Nike Flywire) that could lockdown the foot while also providing flexibility.
When did the Nike Blazer SB come out?
Nike, seeing its cult following in the skateboarding world, even created the Blazer SB in 2005 to cater to skateboarder’s specific needs. Nearly 50 years after its debut, the Blazer has stood the test of time. The simple design, leather upper, and large Swoosh gave it a classic look that was easily adapted to streetwear.
