Since its introduction in 1973 as a basketball sneaker, the Nike Blazer has been embraced by a variety of industries, including skateboarding and luxury. One of the most technologically advanced sneakers for basketball at the time, it was created by sticking a Swoosh logo on a plain white high sneaker. It has a leather upper, mesh nylon tongue, and a rubber sole with textured vulcanisation.
Skaters favored the Blazer for its rubber sole and hard-wearing and durable suede and leather upper, which helped them stay on their skateboards. Nike introduced the Nike SB Blazer specifically for skaters in the mid-'00s. In 2005, Nike collaborated with pro skater Lance Mountain to release the first model. Featuring a padded collar and cushioned insoles, the shoe is designed with Zoom Air technology.
