“Born in 1972, the Nike Blazer has gone through various evolutions, making a name for itself as a classic and iconic part of Nike history.
Introduced as a basketball shoe in the 1970s, and getting its name from the American basketball team the Portland Trail Blazers, the Nike Blazer went to the masses wish list when photos of the iconic basketball player George Gervin dunks hit the newspapers.
With the 80s skater scene loving the steady grip and sturdy make, the Nike Blazers became the number one choice of footwear for amature as well as pro skaters.
There was nothing particularly special technology wise about the Nike Blazer, but it remains a classic today.”
