Praised by the streets for its classic simplicity and comfort, the Nike Blazer Low '77 Vintage returns with low-profile style and heritage b-ball looks. Featuring luscious suede details, a retro Swoosh design and a super-soft collar, it's a must-have wardrobe staple. Benefits Originally designed for performance hoops, the Nike Blazer Low offers durability and comfort that lasts. This nearly 1-to-1 remake features crisp leather with soft suede and synthetic details for added durability and throwback styling. Ultra-clean colors, simple lines and a low-cut, padded collar creates a sleek look that 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.
