A Basketball-Theme Nike Blazer Mid On The Way

The Nike Blazer was first released in 1973 originally designed as a baketball shoe. Now, the Blazer has become a popular silhouette for casual lifestyle wear and even for skateboarding. Adding to its lineup, this latest offering nods back to its basketball roots.

This edition of the Nike Blazer Mid features a White leather upper with suede overlays up front and Black Swooshes. A hoops character appears on the left heel as well as being displayed on the iridescent tongues. Other detail includes hand-written motivational words throughout, graffiti-style branded insoles completed with paint flecks on the laces and midsole.

Take a closer look below, and expect this Blazer Mid 77 to release in the coming weeks at select retailers and Nike.com.
