NIKE BLAZER HIGH The Nike Blazer High is one of Nike’s oldest designs, and one of their first basketball sneakers after making the transition from offering strictly runners. The sneaker debuted in 1972 and was worn perhaps most famously by George Gervin. The Nike Blazer High is a frequent Retro model as well, having countless releases under the Nike Sportswear and Nike SB lines in current times.

As we saw with the Legacy Red edition that went up for pre-orders last month, the Nike Blazer High Vintage has taken on a slightly different look for the holiday season. The nylon tongue remains relatively rough with its foam backing visible on the edges and loop, but they take on an entirely different character compared to the earlier VNTG Blazers thanks to the fact that they’re done in the same color as the suede uppers. Pair that with tonal laces, and especially on this Prism Pink edition, the result is outstanding if familiar, and some sneakerheads will be overjoyed to see minimal oxidization on the vulcanized soles. Will guys be brave enough to rock these barely pre-yellowed Prism Pink Vintage Blazers? If so, you can find them at Nike Sportswear retailers like End.

There are plenty of pre-yellowed releases on the Nike Sportswear roster, but you could argue that none of their vintage releases capture the essence of their classification better than the Nike Blazer High VNTG. A throwback to the ’70s even without the oxidized sole and laces, the Blazer High Vintage is back with another red suede look, this time the deep Legacy Red shade that’s simultaneously a brick and nothing-but-net. These stand out against previous VNTG Blazer drops with their use of a tonal nylon on the ‘unfinished’ tongue, and are available now for pre-order in advance of the October release date at End.

New York’s 10.Deep has been involved in a variety of sneaker collaborations over the years, pairs of PRO-Keds and Reeboks having dropped earlier this year. The model pictured above features their logo on the lacelock and heel, though this Nike Blazer High is, in fact, a custom designed as a tribute to the brand. They’re crafted in raw Japanese denim plus leather Swooshes, a navy, red and white colorway that’s such a Boston homer, the designer named these the ‘Patriots’. That seems strange given the rivalry between these east coast metropolises, though you can’t argue with the results of this dope denim Blazer.

Back in 2009, Nike Sportswear released a House of Hoops-exclusive Blazer High LE featuring multicolored tie-dye on the side panels in honor of journeyman guard World B. Free. Compared to even two years ago, we see significantly more player exclusive models hit retailers like the HoH, and the difference becomes more significant the further you track back until we’re talking about Sharpies as the extent of player specificity. So while even the youngest sneakerheads could conceivably still associate the player with this shoe, to see an actual World B. Free Nike Blazer PE is pretty crazy. These blue-on-white Blazers would have been a decent ‘home’ look for several of the teams he played on and are notable for their suede toecap, un-bellied Swoosh and ‘WORLD’ heel tabs. Click through to see more angles of this game-worn classic and check out the auction from d_g.o.a.t on eBay.

We gave you a look at a couple pairs of the Nike Blazer High Premium TG a few months back, and we’re back with another look at this take on the classic Blazer. The last time we saw these they featured canvas heavily, but here the upper comes in a creamy tumbled leather, white washed to match the rest of the sneaker. Yep, it’s all white with these, a glowing summer colorway that is just too clean for words, but peep at added treat of elephant print on the heel-tab. Continue reading for a more in depth look at this Nike Blazer High Premium TG which is available at UK retailer Size? or you can find yourself a pair now on eBay.

The word ‘vintage’ has a variety of specific connotations depending on context, but in the case of Nike Sportswear, it typically indicates pre-yellowed laces and soles and classic construction touches. But taken in a more general sense, ‘vintage’ means classic, and in either case, NSW has you covered with this new shipment that just arrived at New York’s Extra Butter. The senior member of this quartet is a Nike Blazer High VNTG in Medium Grey suede, a model whose colorway is not radically dissimilar from the Air Trainer SC II that’s also hitting shelves. Rounding out the group are one new pair each of the Air Max 1 and AM90, and you can see images of all four when you click on the jump below.

The Blazer was conspicuously absent from Nike Sportswear’s Hyperfuse collection but that doesn’t mean the classic fat bellied Swoosh design won’t see it’s own special release this summer. Check out this new Nike Blazer High in one of the craziest all-grey designs we’ve seen since this tonal look took hold over the sneaker scene. They’re constructed in ripstop nylon with a pearlized synthetic leather adding a lenticular effect to the Swooshes, eyelets, tongues and heels. Click through to see more angles of this model we expect as a House of Hoops exclusive here in the US and stick with Sneaker News for their release date. via LTD
