Low Top Nike Blazer Shoes

Nike Blazer Low Lifestyle

Let’s talk about all things Nike Blazer Lows. These 1970s-era shoes have been around longer than your mom and dad, and they’ve aged like fine wine, remaining as relevant today as they were way back when Nike co-founders Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman added them to the Nike Sportswear portfolio.

Over the decades, the Nike Blazer low top shoes have evolved from a performance basketball shoe into a chic streetwear staple that appeals to men , women and kids of all ages. Be sure to cop a pair of the vintage-style Nike Blazer low top sneakers from Hibbett. We carry the lower cut silhouette in a variety of colors and several standout styles.

Nike Blazer Low Top Legacy

While Nike named the basketball shoes after the Portland Trail Blazers, the Nike Blazers actually became popularized by George “The Iceman” Gervin, a player for the San Antonio Spurs, upon their 1973 release.

A little more than a decade later, the G.O.A.T. entered the building so to speak, really bringing performance bball shoes into the mainstream. As a result, the Nike Blazer low tops took a bit of a backseat in the 1990s, transitioning to the feet of early sneakerheads, fashion influencers, skateboarders and graffiti artists.

Skateboarders especially loved the Nike Blazer Lows because of the board-gripping vulcanized rubber outsole and ultra-durable uppers. In fact, the Nike Blazer SB came out in the mid-aughts, catering exclusively to the skateboarding community. The Nike Blazer low top has also had a hold on the fashion industry, with bestselling collabs ranging from Virgil Abloh’s Off-White to Stussy and Netflix’s “Stranger Things” series.
