NIKE BLAZER MID The Nike Blazer Mid is a slightly altered version of the Nike Blazer High, the first of Nike’s foray into the world of basketball sneakers together with the Bruin. The Nike Blazer Mid features a smoother side wall on the rubber midsole along with a strip of foxing running along the base of the upper in comparison to the Nike Blazer High. The Nike Blazer Mid remains the less retro’d of these two closely related sneakers.

Perhaps the most popular and coveted Nike Blazer of all-time is that trio of Supreme-designed SB varieties that dropped back in 2006. This upcoming Spring 2013 release sorta recaptures that luxurious touch, although without the diagonal checkered stitching, the Gucci-colored heel-stripe, or…well it’ll just be easier to point out what these do have – a nice smooth synthetic leather and a snakeskin Swoosh. The royal blue pair above reminds us of that Friends-and-Family pair of the Stussy x Nike All Court Mid that dropped in late 2010, but there’s a second light-grey colorway with a black snakeskin Swoosh that’s set to drop as well. Check those out below and let us know how geeked you area about these in the comments area below.

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.

At one point just a pack among a variety of more stylized releases from Nike Sportswear, the Vintage edition has become the core of the Blazer catalog. This new Nike Blazer Mid Suede VNTG is an effort befitting the tradition, a slightly dusty Obsidian design with a darker shade on the laces and lighter on the Deep Royal Swooshes. They’ll have some serious competition with the YOTS-themed snake Swoosh releases just around the corner, but there’s no doubting this will be among the more successful VNTG Blazers now that it’s available at stores like End.

While the rest of the world plays with animal prints and bright colors, Nike Sportswear offers plenty of their own, in addition to a wholly unique thread running through the spring catalog. Like the Dunk High before it, the Nike Blazer Mid Woven takes a classic basketball design and reinvents it with the kind of upper construction we’re more used to seeing on the Footscape and other iconoclastic lifestyle designs. We just saw a ‘Woven’ Blazer Mid for women this week, and while that half-and-half approach gave a more colorful result, it’s this trio that more truly manifests the woven approach thanks to 90%+ nylon ribbons. Let us know which of the three looks best after you’ve seen them all after the jump and pre-order your favorite today for a prompt February shipment from End.

The whole ‘Woven’ theme seems to be permeating particularly forcefully through the upcoming Nike Sportswear catalog. The Nike Blazer Mid will be one of a ton of styles that will feature that look in 2013. Beyond that there are actually two separate styles of the Blazer with the woven look, this pair being one without the official designation in its title. Continue reading to get an in-depth look at this Nike Blazer Mid release and check out the pre-order up for grabs now at End Clothing.

Not every new Vintage Blazer Mid features snakeskin or some other wild print. Nike Sportswear keeps things a bit closer to the origin of this pre-yellowed take on the original Beaverton basketballer, revisiting the tried and true suede upper, leather Swoosh and an off-white shade we’d wager turns out to be Sail on the tongue, sole and lining. The Nike Blazer Mid Suede VNTG does try a couple of subtle new things here, though. The suede heel tab is a rarity, and being its pairing with the upper in such a monochromatic combination proves there are still a million and one more ways to keep the Blazer classy. You can see more of this ice cold combo after the jump, and pre-order yours today in advance of the January release at End.

It’s a reasonable expectation with the past few years’ output that the Air Force 1 will take the lead for Nike Sportswear’s latest Lunar New Year collection. But along with the AF1, other beloved classics like the Air Max 90 and Nike Blazer Mid are joining the Year of the Snake celebration. This YOTS Blazer Mid is depicted more clearly in these new images, which show us how sharp the delineation between black and Court Purple actually is on this upcoming design. Expect a proper debut in early 2013 along with more Chinese New Year Nikes, but you can already get select sizes today from Kicks-crew.
