The 2013 All-Star Pack by Nike is ready for retail availability, and it’s all starting tomorrow with the Nike Blazer Mid. This model in particular is honored by the entire ‘Area 72′ Collection as a whole as the Blazer was the first-ever Basketball sneaker by Nike (that just so happened to be launched in 1972). Details galore like the cracked-texture on the Swoosh and the outer-space graphic on the upper make up the bulk of this amazing release, so get 2013 All-Star started by copping the Blazers at select Nike Sportswear retailers or right now from shoemongous2012 on eBay.

With “Area 72″ being the headline for this year’s All-Star capsule of Nike Sportswear footwear, it’s pretty much necessary to include the Blazer. Why? Because ’72′ is a direct tribute to the belly-Swooshed model because it’s the first Nike Basketball sneaker ever created. It gets quite the upgrade in details with the cracked pavement feature on the Swoosh and the other alien-ish appliques on the upper. The Blazer Mid and the rest of the Area 72 Collection goes on sale next week so enjoy the gallery below for a thorough look.

Nike Sportswear’s 2013 NBA All-Star collection features three classics, one updated icon and a brand new hybrid. There’s an undertone of evolution/progression as we start with the first ever Nike Basketball shoe and move forward along the timeline to find phosphorescent accents lending a spacey edge to the rest of the pack. With a concept that pulls together last year’s space theme with this year’s ASG site in Houston along with references to Nike’s former Roswell resident Raygun and the company’s founding date, you get a sense of past, present and future all rolled into one extremely eye-catching quintet. Click through for a closer look at the ’Area 72′ Nike Air Force Max, Blazer Mid, Lunar Force 1, Barkley Posite Max and the most significant Vandal High release so far this decade, and stick with Sneaker News for updates as we approach the Thursday, February 14th release date.

If you’re still not sure what the significance behind “Area 72″ is, don’t look any further than the Nike Blazer (not that you could). Area 72 is a combination of Area 51, the government research locale that dabbles in the investigation of unidentified flying objects and beings of outer space, and the year 1972, which is the when Nike created its first basketball shoe; Area 72 also serves as the title of this amazing capsule, which includes the Blazer and four other models – all designed with intense graphics and materials never seen before. Your thoughts on the Nike Blazer Mid ‘Area 72′? These drop on February 14th so let us know what your “grade” is for this year’s All-Star NSW Pack and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for more details.
