They say, "Don't fix what works". We say, "Perfect it". This hoops icon gets rethought with an oversized Swoosh logo, thick stitching and jumbo laces. With a design rooted in classic simplicity and details that are big and bold, it's no wonder these kicks have been praised by the streets since '77. Benefits * Oversized Swoosh design and easy-to-tie jumbo laces add a bold look to any outfit. * Stitched leather overlays and soft suede accents capture essence of classic Blazer to add heritage hoops style. * Extra-thick thread for the stitching adds a bold, defiant touch. * Exposed foam tongue offers comfort worth salivating over. * Raised herringbone pattern on the rubber outsole exaggerates the classic look. Blazer Origins Originally introduced in 1972 as a basketball shoe, the Blazer has since transformed into a modern staple for skaters and sneakerheads alike. Maturing from a simple canvas high-top to a leather mid-top and casual low-top, this shoe just gets better with age.
