There are only a few other shoes that stand for classic basketball sneakers like Nike's Blazer. Named after Portland's basketball team when it joined the league, the Blazer became an instant classic on and off the court when it debuted in 1972. It's simple shape and giant swoosh gives the shoe a distinctive retro-look! »You can’t beat a classic!« Sleek, streamlined, and striking - the iconic silhouette arrives in a white leather upper and silver Swoosh and Heel branding, while the vintage finish on the midsole provides an old-school look.
