Nike Blazer is a sneaker manufactured by Nike. It was originally released in 1973 as a basketball shoe.
The Beaverton, Oregon-based brand named the design “Blazer” after its regional NBA team, the Portland Trail Blazers. The original shoe was made out of three main components: a leather upper portion, nylon tongue, and a rubber midsole.
