Praised by the streets for its classic simplicity and comfort, the Nike Blazer Low '77 returns with its low-profile, classic hoops style. Featuring crisp leather, a retro Swoosh design and super-soft, low-cut collar, it's a must-have wardrobe staple.
- Originally designed for performance hoops, the durable construction, tough stitching and easy-entry lacing offers durability and comfort that lasts.
- The low-cut, padded collar looks sleek and feels great.
- The vulcanized construction fuses the outsole to midsole for a streamlined look that's durable and comfortable.
- The solid rubber sole with herringbone pattern adds traction, durability and heritage styling.
- The nearly 1-to-1 remake nods to the original while its casual design is easy-to-wear and allows for style versatility.
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.

Who should buy the Nike Blazer Low 77
Considered one of Nike's most iconic profiles, the Blazer Low 77 wears versatility on its sleeve, bearing the classic basketball shoe style but with a more casual appeal. You are its target crowd if:
- You're into old-school sneakers that provide minimalist-specific comfort.
- Kicks that don't break easily, particularly those that don't cost a fortune, are what you're after.
- Your sneaker collection is missing a low-profile shoe that can complete your smart-casual OOTD without breaking a sweat.
Who should NOT buy it
If your heel size is regular, but your toes fall on the broad end of the spectrum, you're better off wearing the New Balance 990 v5. Also, skip the Blazer Low 77 for the Adidas Samoa if you want a sneaker that loosens up straight out of the gate.

Nike's undisputed hall of famers
Joining Blazer in Nike's impressive honor board are several ageless pairs that continuously reign the sneaker market:
- Nike Air Max. Introduced in the '80s, this revolutionary collection is the first to feature the innovative Air unit cushioning visibly. Its style has endured the test of time and is considered one of the pioneers of the modern-day's dad sneaker trend.
- Nike Dunk. Released initially as footwear for the hardwood, the Dunk slowly transitioned as fashionable street kicks. In 2020, Nike improved its padding and traction to convert it into a highly-coveted Nike SB Dunk.
- Nike Air Force 1. The Nike Air Force One was the first to use Air cushioning technology on the hardcourts. It revolutionized the sneaker culture and game by releasing countless variations over time.
