Nearly year ago at the heels of FC Barcelona’s triumph over Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League, Sneaker News reported a special colorway of the Nike Blazer with FC Barcelona’s crest on the tongue-tag and heel. It’s been quite some time since Barcelona’s victory, and that Nike Blazer has gone through minor changes. While it maintains the upper design and striped pattern on the rear, the FC Barcelona logo is no longer visible. Nonetheless, the colorway and use of patterns and materials is a nice touch. Like what you see? Grab a pair from JBseller on eBay.

Supra isn’t the only skateboarding sneaker company who’s keyed in on tomorrow’s holiday.  Nike SB is set to drop two Quickstrike releases on St. Patrick’s Day in the form of the ‘Wallenburg’ SB Dunk Low and one of the craziest Blazer High SBs we’ve seen in a while.  The Blazers mix blue striping into Zebra’d side panels, while the Dunks are unique for commemorating the SF steps for which they were named by coloring in half of the midsole.  Atlas will have these at 11am tomorrow morning.

Even Supra’s aptly-named Strapped midtop can’t touch the Nike Blazer AC High’s five velcro closures.  The latest hook-and-loop’d Blazer hightop comes in a smooth monochromatic grey look, but these aren’t just your average neutral sneaker.  Patent leather on the toe and straps will get some shine during the day, while the rest of the shoe is reflective 3M for the darker hours.  They’re available at Nike Sportswear retailers like westNYC, or if you’re not in the NY area, get yours on eBay.

Any shoe that looks like this is bound to get ‘Oakland Raiders’ tags, and if anything, this Nike Blazer High just reminds you how long it’s been since the silver and black have won the Super Bowl.  No matter who Al Davis decides to overpay in next month’s NFL Draft, you’ll be happy knowing you picked one of the cleanest colourways of this five decade veteran.  They’re available now from Nike Sportswear retailers like Finish Line.

With this latest pack, Nike broke out the Windows 3-era clip art and added layers and layers until they look like one of your kid sister’s notebooks.  Just like the Blazer Mid Premiums we showed you a couple weeks back, these Nike Dunk High GSes have the look of ’80s girly icon Strawberry Shortcake, but these aren’t an official collaboration with American Greetings.  So instead of a two-pack bundle with a special artist-designed Shortcake figurine, it’s ‘just’ these Dunks and Blazers, and both are available from Nike Sportswear retailers like Extra Butter.

The thing about Nike Blazer hightops is that when you’ve worn them the right way, you can’t even tell if they’re VNTG.  Just in case you don’t have the time or can’t be bothered to wear your kicks enough to give them some ‘character’, the Nike Blazer Vintage is back in the relatively simple style we’ve come to know and love.  As with the other recent Blazer VNTG releases, these go with a rich suede upper and white contrast hits.  This time, it’s a black upper, which makes the oxidized outsole stand out even more.  A must-own for any true Blazer fans, these will drop in April and are available for pre-order from UK e-tailer endclothing.

The Nike Blazer is a growing favorite of the ladies – remember Rihanna wearing Nike Blazers – and this newly released colourway should be a treat for the femmes with a penchant for bright tones. The upper features an interesting graphic – part TV static part Coogi sweater – and Safari print along the lace panel. The mix of purple and turbo green is grounded by yet another white vulcanized midsole with a purple front bumper. You can grab a pair of these Nike WMNS Blazer from Wish or from eBay.

You’re not going to get any better than this with vintage kicks this spring, so go ahead and buy them, then come back and read this.  Seriously, though, this new Nike Blazer High VNTG looks like the shoe was born to live in grey suede with distressed white accents.  Some vintage colourways are a stretch, but the upper colour seems just right and the quality of that suede will have you thinking “They do, in fact, make things like they used to.”  Or maybe even better; they just hit Japan’s atmos and we’ll keep you posted on the US side of things.

We can always appreciated a look into future releases, so here’s a Nike SB Blazer that is set for a September 2010 release. The upper is very simple, consisting of a nightshade upper (something like a dusk blue) with a black swoosh. The heeltab is white, as is the honey-combed vulcanized midsole (shouldn’t all Blazer midsoles be white?). Expect these to featured in Sneaker News’ upcoming Nike SB Previews. via N-SB.

We discussed earlier today how the scissors on the wings of the upcoming Nike SB Dunk High Enigmas represent skaters cutting down their hightop shoes into better-for-skate mids.  Well, Nike SB is making sure nobody ever has to do that again with the new Blazer CS.  We’ve seen another black pair in the Nike SB Fall 2010 preview, and this new mix of black leather and denim is probably going to be a big hit, thanks to the neon and purple side panel Swooshes.  Are you excited about a ‘true’ Nike SB Blazer mid?  via N-SB.org

January and February was owned by Jordan Brand and Nike Basketball, but March could very well go to the Nike SB camp. All of the March Nike SB releases keep it simple and clean, like the Green Leaf Nike SB Bruin – a great alternative if you’re unwilling to shell out nearly two bills for the Green Supreme Bruins. A black/white Bruin is also avaiable, as well as Brian Anderson’s second Nike Dunk SB and a grey/red/blue Nike SB Dunk High that we previewed last month. Check out the individual shots and head on over with your wallet in hand to Flatspot.

Don’t you just love when a pair of kicks drop that’ll perfectly match something in your closet? My Mitchell & Ness fitted with the same all-over print would go perfectly with these new Blazers. All kidding aside, this type of graphic would definitely appeal the sneakerheadettes in the making; the summer-insired graphic of strawberries, citrus fruits, and rainbows set off by a clear candy-yellow swoosh and light-pink trim would be a nice summer shoe for the kiddies. These Nike Girls Blazer Mids are available now at NikeStore.

Anything attached with ‘House of Hoops Exclusive’ is sure to demand a double take. Check out this upcoming pair of the Nike Blazer High Premium in Medium Grey, Anthracite, White, and Sport Red. The velvety finish of the upper could hint at this pair being part of the Nike Blazer Foamposite line that resulted in a ton of mixed reviews last summer. During that eventful season, we saw an Egglplant Foamposite Blazer and another inspired by the Blue Foams; this new colourway of the Nike Blazer leads us to believe it could be derived from the Silver Foamposite colourway. Check out these new images and stay tuned for updated info. via LTD.

I’m sure tons of guys out there are doing their last-minute Valentine’s Day shopping. Here’s some advice; that box of Whitman’s Sampler from CVS ain’t gonna cut it. Check out this girl’s Nike Blazer GS that slipped in right on time, although they won’t arrive in time if you order it. It features a black patent leather upper with a pink patent swoosh, with hearts and “love” printed on the heel. All of the aforementioned features are brought together nicely by the trademark white vulcanized sole. Grab these from Japanese e-tailer ichiba.
