The Nike blazers doubles as both a basketball shoe and a tennis shoes

The Nike blazers doubles as both a basketball shoe and a tennis shoes. The Blazer started its existence as made for the courts – hardwood, that is – but over time the advancement in footwear technology has rendered the Blazer obsolete. Instead, it’s one of Nike’s most popular lifestyle/streetwear shoes, and this new colorway of the Blazer Low is just another great pair in the long-lived Blazer history. Featuring a University of Kentucky white and varsity blue, this Blazer Low would be a perfect pick-up for the summer.

The Nike Blazer Mid Scantron Sheet is yet another famous interpretation of the Blazer Mid line that is always incredibly diverse and famous sneaker that is perfect for everyday street fashion. This Nike Blazer Mid  sneaker offers a very large white leather sole that is always popularly seen within the Blazer line, showcasing an amazing amount of comfort and support for the foot while wearing it. The upper is offered in a premium red leather, the same leather that is commonly used with the Blazer which makes it more of the premium sneaker line within the Nike family. The red leather is offered in a white design that honors the World Expo design that has been seen on advertisements and banners across the globe. The black leather swoosh shown on either side panel provides a very stark contrast to the red leather used to decorate the upper portion that is also topped with white laces.

Every sneaker connoisseur knows there are some few keys to good sneaker hunting these days– checking out the collaborations, and going the vintage route. Sometimes, in a world where new can sometimes get a little old, it is the classics that hold down the fort and prove to last a few lifetimes. Thus, sportswear and sneaker labels have been gearing up with revivals and reissues, and Nike Blazer Mid is no different. Especially since Nike has one of the most impressive archives to tap into, it would be quite foolish to give it up.

Of course, from a sartorial stand point, these gorgeously and deliberately faded Nike blazers are perfect for the gentleman feeling a little nostalgic for the good ol’ days, and for adding a little extra learned street dandy vibe to this summer’s possible uniform of plaid short-sleeved button downs and khaki shorts.
