Iconic Nike SB Blazers combining basketball heritage with skateboarding performance in classic mid and low-top silhouettes.
From its origins as Nike's first basketball shoe in 1972 to its skateboarding reinvention, the Blazer has transcended generations to become one of skating's most enduring silhouettes. Adopted into the SB line with specific modifications for skateboarding's demands, Blazers deliver the perfect balance of heritage design and technical performance. Available in both mid and low-top versions, the Blazer offers options based on your specific needs. The mid provides more ankle support and protection while the low enhances mobility for technical fliptricks. Both share the same fundamental DNA: vulcanized construction for superior board feel, Zoom Air cushioning for impact absorption, reinforced ollie areas that withstand constant grip tape abuse, and a timeless aesthetic that works for skating and daily wear. The Blazer's herringbone tread pattern delivers predictable grip whether you're working technical lines or flowing through transitions. Over the years, the silhouette has hosted countless team colorways, collaborative editions, and material variations while maintaining its essential character. This consistency is rare in skateboarding's trend-driven footwear landscape. Team riders across multiple generations, from Lance Mountain to Grant Taylor, have showcased the Blazer's versatility across different terrain and skating styles. Whether you're building out your Nike SB collection or considering other proven options like Vans or Emerica, the Blazer remains an essential piece of skateboarding's footwear evolution.
