Available Now // Nike Blazer Mid ’77 “Test of Time”

Through the unfathomable leaps and bounds that Nike Basketball has attained in performance technology, its roots — whatever the silhouette — can be traced back to one sneaker: the Nike Blazer. Originally released back in 1973, the sneaker named after Phil Knight’s local NBA franchise was the go-to option for hoopers the world over, but like many basketball-specific sneakers from that era, it has since hit the streets. One would say that it’s stood the test of time — and that’s exactly Nike’s position with this special-edition release that’s not afraid to blow its own horn.

Clad in bone suede, the pair’s construct is different from the get-go. Its Swooshes aren’t overlayed, instead, opt for a cut-in and sew approach in a finish that matched the cracked red leather at the heel. Overlays at the forefoot are leather — a full inversion of the traditional build – which sits atop a simple sail sole unit. Special additions include brass upper eyestays, added lateral Nike tags, and graphic insoles that state the silhouette’s longevity.
