PINK OUT LOUD. Praised by the streets for keeping it simple yet comfortable, the Nike Blazer Low '77 returns with a low-profile style and a bold pink hue. It has crisp leather across the upper with a dash of suede. The retro Swoosh design and supersoft, low-cut collar give this Blazer a refreshingly pink twist on a hoops classic. Benefits Vulcanized construction fuses the outsole to the midsole for a streamlined look that's durable and comfortable. Solid rubber outsole with herringbone pattern gives you the classic traction basketball legends have come to love. 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.
