Nike Blazer Studio Suede

Released in 1972, the Blazer marked Nike's first venture into the world of basketball footwear. Its attention grabbing oversized Swoosh, autoclave sole unit and distinctive styling quickly helped to affirm itself as the trainer of choice both on and off the court. This silhouette was first introduced to the NBA a year after its release, in '73 by George "The Iceman" Gervin. Presented in premium black nubuck leather, the pair features Swoosh branding to the side walls, plus a rubber cupsole for traction.
