BLAZER LOW OFF-WHITE UNIVERSITY RED

BLAZER originally created as a basketball shoe in 1973 and named after its regional NBA team, the Portland Trail Blazers. The style was one of the most technologically advanced shoes for basketball at the time with rubber soles for sturdy support and traction.This one is a silhouette known for its hoops heritage and sleek shape, but Abloh completely revamped its construction from top to bottom to transform it into a modern-day classic. The standout component of the model is the rear’s TPU mold which is inspired by the Air Terra Humara’s unique heel shape. Base layers are styled in smooth leather but come hole punched in various parts of the mid-foot and feature a second set of laces that extend past the throat in a similar manner to the previously released Off-White™ x Nike Dunks. Tongues discard the traditional Nike Sportswear logos and come embellished with a “Nike OFF” hit, and the medial sides are printed with Abloh’s signature Helvetica branding. A strip of canvas material acts as the mudguard for each iteration as well.
