Nike Blazer Mid 77 Vintage Slam Jam Class 1977

Slam Jam, an Italian company, is celebrating its 30th anniversary, and we've teamed up to release an exclusive Vintage '77 edition of the Nike Blazer. Its most notable feature is the inverted Swoosh on the inner side, essentially flipping the script. It features a vintage-inspired grey and off-white colorway. The words "CLASS" and "1977" appear on the heel tabs, a nod to the shoe's vintage roots.

With the release of the Blazer in 1973, Nike rocked basketball courts around the world. The shoe was named after the Portland Trail Blazers and was initially worn by George "The Iceman" Gervin (of the San Antonio Spurs). It featured a leather upper and vulcanized rubber outsole, which were typical of '70s shoes, but as Nike focused on new technology, the Blazer was retired from the court.

Lance Mountain revealed his collaboration with Nike on a Blazer SB in 2005, featuring extra cushioning on the tongue and a few other tweaks that made the shoe truly board-ready.
