Only a few sneakers can be considered suitable for the whole year. This select few undeniably include the legendary Nike Blazer silhouette, Nike’s first basketball shoe, which is currently available at Footshop in more than 40 color combinations.
This is mainly true for the high version of the Blazers. This shoe was first released in 1974, which makes them one of the oldest Nike models on the market. However, Blazers are no longer a typical shoe for the basketball court. They’ve been replaced with new technologies and the more advanced sneakers that utilize them. However, these lack several key elements that make the Nike Blazer so highly relevant in 2021, especially in the streets.
The ankle height and waterproof leather upper with suede details is a perfect base for colder and rainier days. On the other hand, in the summer heat for example, the relatively thin layer of leather allows you to stay relatively cool, especially when worn in a more open way.
With retro sneakers, there are often problems with utilizing them in more modern styles, techwear for example. With Blazers this does not apply, they are exactly the type of sneakers that go well with everything. Give it a try yourself! Returning non-fitting goods is now free at Footshop, so if your experience doesn’t match my bold claims, I take full responsibility.
Go from retro sneakers to the sneakers of the future. In this article, you can find details about the experimentalREADYMADE brand’s take on the Nike Blazer.
