Blazer

The Nike Blazer is one of the most iconic Nike sneakers of all time, and also one of the first to ever be made by the Swoosh brand, originally birthed when the brand was known as Blue Ribbon Sports. Co-founders Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman had successfully created several running-focused shoes, and it was now time for the pair to work on a basketball sneaker. After a hell of a lot of planning and working in close co-operation with factories, the duo launched the Nike Blazer in high-top, mid-top and low-top versions.
