Blazers 1973

Still one of my favorite sneakers of all time. The Nike Blazer was released in 1973. Designed as a basketball sneaker/hi-top, and competed against the monopoly the Converse All-star had within the ABA and NBA. The first professional Basketball player to wear the shoe was George Gervin, when he played for the Virginia Squires and San Antonio Spurs in 1973.
