The Nike Blazer Mid ’77 delivers a timeless design that’s easy to wear. Its crisp leather upper breaks in beautifully and pairs with retro branding and luscious suede accents for a premium feel. A stitched-in Swoosh design and stitched-through laces adds a touch of crafty style. Plus, exposed foam on the tongue and a special midsole finish make it look like you’ve just pulled these kicks from the history books. Benefits Originally designed for performance hoops, the durable construction, tough stitching and easy-entry lacing delivers comfort that lasts. Padded, mid-cut collar looks sleek and feels great. Vulcanized construction fuses the sole to the upper for a flexible, broken-in feel. Solid rubber outsole with herringbone pattern adds traction, durability and heritage styling. Blazer Origins Originally introduced in 1972 as a basketball shoe, the Blazer has since transformed into a modern staple for skaters and sneakerheads alike. Maturing from a simple canvas high top to a leather mid top and casual low top, this shoe just gets better with age.
