The Nike SB Blazer Mid's origin

George “The Iceman” Gervin was the first to don the iconic hoops silhouette of the Nike Blazer when it was released in 1973. The iconic basketball sneaker with its signature large swoosh logo on the side panel was a hit among basketball players during the 1970s. However, the honor of the shoe did not stop there. In the 1980s, the minimalist design with its decent tread and sturdy vulcanized construction made it famous as footwear in the growing skateboarding culture. The sturdy sneaker with an excellent grip soon became a favorite among amateur and professional skaters.

Fast-forward to 2007, the Blazer silhouette finally entered the Nike SB portfolio with the entry of pro skater Lance Mountain as an endorser of the Nike Blazer SB. Several versions followed soon after. These models included the Nike SB Blazer Vintage, Nike SB Blazer High, and Nike SB Blazer Mid, among many others.
