Blazer Mid 73

Emulating the shoe that got Nike into the basketball game, the Blazer Mid 73 features premium white leather with 'Metallic Gold' and 'Varsity Red' hits to update the familiar silhouette from 1973. Paying tribute to the local NBA hoops team, Nike engineers dubbed their first hoop shoe the 'Blazer.' Appealing to signature star George 'The Iceman' Gervin, it featured a wrap-around Swoosh logo that brands both sides and a white-rubber outsole with tacky herringbone traction.
