Nike SB Blazers are a converse-style shoe manufactured by retail giant Nike. Combining the alternative skateboarding-style of converse shoes that have captivated a generation and the sporty comfort and high quality of Nike athletic shoes, the Nike SB Blazers just might be the beginning of a whole new line for Nike.
The Nike SB Blazer takes on most of the characteristic styling of a skateboarding shoe, with flat, vulcanized rubber soles and a high-top upper. The uppers are made of either canvas or suede, with rubberized support at the heel and toebox. The thin, vulcanized grip adds board grip and control, while still allowing for a surprising degree of flexibility, breathability, and shock absorption.
The fabric uppers provide exceptional comfort, without the digging in or binding effect normally experienced with a high-top shoe. The shaft is thin and flexible, an important quality in a skateboarding shoe, and subtle padding provides the foot with just enough cushion to prevent blistering or irritation.
It is generally recommended that you purchase the Nike SB Blazer about a half size smaller than you would normally wear. Even if it feels tight at first, the shoe breaks in quickly, and the thin toebox becomes roomy after just a few hours of use. While a tight shoe might be less comfortable at first, a shoe that is broken in and too loose is even worse. If the foot is allowed to move too freely while skateboarding it could result not only in blistering but also in loss of foot stability, which can potentially result in foot or ankle injury.
Overall, the Nike SB Blazer is a good skateboarding shoe that combines the best of Nike’s high-quality track record and the functional style of a skateboarding shoe.
