Nike Zoom Blazer Mid SB Black White

Designed by Bill Bowerman and released on 23 March 2021 as part of Nike's Blazer line. This release has a suede upper in Black/Black/Black/White. The Blazer is a shape that predates almost everything Nike is famous for. There is no visible Air unit, no plate, no foam story, just a tall canvas or leather boot with a Swoosh so large it runs from the eyestay to the heel, which is what the mark looked like when it was still doing structural work rather than logo work. SB is the skateboarding arm of the company, the branch that has always taken its cues from a subculture instead of a league. Black and white is the version of this shoe that has been in continuous rotation the longest: black upper, white sole, white Swoosh, no third idea anywhere.
