The story behind the birth of the Nike Blazer

In 1972, the basketball shoe "BLAZER" was born, featuring NIKE's first SWOOSH, named after the NBA team "PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS" based in Oregon, USA.

At the time, the Blazer was favored by top NBA players, but in the 1980s it disappeared from NBA courts as the Air Force 1 was introduced.

However, skaters at the time took notice of its high grip performance, and by the 1980s it had become a beloved sneaker worn on the street by skaters in particular.

Currently, it is one of NIKE's most representative models, and is a hot topic due to collaborations with fashion brands.
