The Blazer Premium SB 'Varsity Purple' sneaker marked Nike's return to the roots of its inaugural basketball shoe in January 2009. This revamped version retains the iconic silhouette of the original 1972 model, but adorns the upper with luxurious suede material, complemented by eye-catching snakeskin graphic Swooshes. A significant emphasis has been placed on foot support and stability with the inclusion of a supportive heel overlay and a reliable lacing system. The upper sits atop a tried-and-true OG textured vulcanized rubber sole, delivering a classic and timeless look.
