Nike SB Zoom Blazer Mid

FAMILIAR, BUT NEW.

Featuring supple brown leather, a gum rubber sole and a nylon tongue, the Nike SB Zoom Blazer Mid has a vintage, familiar vibe. Orange details on the insole and tongue label finish the look off while nodding to the color of Nike's original shoebox, which made its debut in 1971.

History of Orange

In 1971, Nike co-founder Phil Knight wanted to distinguish his new company from the rest of the competition. When it came to packaging, he chose orange—it stood out, looked great on cardboard and made a clear distinction from those blue boxes. So when Nike cracked the market with its first shoe, a soccer cleat called ‘the Nike,’ the shoe box was orange.
