There has been enough overlap between Blazer Mids and Highs over the years that Nike Sportswear has started to label all of them as mids (perhaps because none of the recent Blazers has as many eyelets as the OGs). One style that is very clearly distinct from the base model is the Nike Blazer Mid ’77, a style that adds a suede toe cap in addition to a larger outrigger support. This new drop makes them even more unique thanks to the first multicolor zig-zag Swoosh to arrive at retail following the Dunk High ACs that borrowed the look for their tongue tags. Expect at least two more of these zig-zag Blazer 77s coming up shortly, and look for this Bright Citrus edition first, as it’s already in stock at NSW Euro spots like SNKRS.

It’s exceedingly rare for Nike to issue the same style number, so when it does happen, we’re almost always looking at a retro of some sort. That’s partially true with this new Nike Blazer Mid Premium in Medium Grey suede, as an almost identical pair did indeed release just under two years ago. The combination of timeless silhouette and adaptive colorway means this is a style too good not to revisit, so Nike Sportswear swapped the tongue and laces to a tonal approach and has another one coming our way. Let us know if these subtle shifts make for an even better result, then grab yours at NSW retailers like Titolo.

Blazer fans have some adaptation to got through if they wanna hang with the new Nike Lunar Blazer. Using the classic ’72 silhouette as the base, Nike Sportswear kicks it up a notch with the full-length Lunarlon outsole made just for the Blazer and fortifies it with a heel-cup for stability. Can the shoe perform well on the court or the skatepark? At the very least, it’s a great on-feet option. The Nike Lunar Blazer in this clean White/Poison Green colorway is available at NSW retailers worldwide like Coutie so enjoy the high-res gallery below and let us know if the Lunar Blazer has a spot in your summertime sneaker rotation.

The newly released Nike Lunar Blazer looks to be donning the iconic “Black/Cement” colorway later this year as we get a first look at a Fall 2013 Sample of the Nike Lunar Blazer “Black/Cement”. Like the Air Jordan III, this Nike Lunar Blazer features a black leather upper with elephant print hits at the foxing on the outrigger and the heel, and uses a Wolf Grey on inner lining, tongue, and outsole. Definitely one of the more interesting crossover colorways of the Lunar Blazer yet, so check out the detailed gallery of this sample and see the full listing from dballaholic on ebay.

Since the short-lived CS edition dropped off, it’s the only clear Mid of the bunch, and what’s more, the skate-oriented Blazer pictured above features a LunarLon footbed. So not only is the Nike Blazer Mid LR a nice niche within the immortal vulc-soled blucher family, it’s also on the cutting edge of performance with a superior combination of cushioning and boardfeel. This Squadron Blue edition keeps with the Blazer LR’s preferential use of the quilted nylon Swoosh and heel tab, so check them out up close below before you grab a pair from shops like Premier.

Not every single new Blazer release from Nike Sportswear retailers these days is a VNTG drop, but the vast majority do indeed employ that series model for simple success. The latest Nike Blazer Mid release moves forward from the vintage charm of unfinished tongues and pre-yellowed soles, to a more polished look here in Blackened and Photo Blues. This white-soled Blazer Mid adds a leather lining for a premium finish, a detail you can see along with others in more photos below before buying at the only store that has this colorway: JD Sports.

We can all agree that the Nike Blazer Mid was due up for a revamp of sorts, and the soon-to-release Nike Lunar Blazer is definitely in the right path toward re-energizing this iconic model with contemporary details and advancements. It maintains the classic vulc-sole with the ridges of Lunar placed only on part of the sole, with a bulging heel-cap and carbon fiber-like weave fortifying the tongue and ankle padding of the shoe. This Pure Platinum/Energy colorway is likely to release in the coming weeks when the Lunar Blazer hits stores, so check out the photos below and see the full listing of this sample from jknitty on eBay.
