Nike’s first basketball shoe received a lifestyle reboot with the January 2009 debut of the Blazer Premium SB 'Varsity Purple' sneaker. This rendition uses the same silhouette as the 1972 original, but decks out its upper with plush suede, accented by snakeskin graphic Swooshes. The heel overlay and lacing system provide support and stabilize the foot. Down below, the upper rests above an OG textured vulcanized rubber sole.
