Retro Nike Blazer
Tuesday, September 7th, 2010
Nike recently released a recreation of the vintage Nike Blazer. This iconic pair of sneakers looks exponentially better with this aesthetic. Nike has brought back the oversized swoosh, as well as a retro-fitted tongue reminiscent of the Blazers from the 70’s. To be more specific, these are a re-release of a shoe originally put out in 1973, and I could barely see the difference. Nowadays, the way-too-colorful, borderline-ridiculous sneakers are starting to get played out; it’s refreshing to see something this clean and this classy back on the market. The two colorways are great as well: a washed yellow and a washed blue. This is an undeniably great sneaker.
