The Nike Blazer first leapt to prominence on the basketball court in 1973. Over the years the classic style has been updated many times but this year Nike are returning to the much coveted original design with the added bonus of some great customizable options. For 2012 there is also a choice of suede or cotton canvas in sixteen stunning colours. Adding some flower power there is also a new collection by Anna-Luise Reiper, the material designer at Nike, who took inspiration for her floral print designs from the vibrant blooms of the spring and summer seasons in her home town of Sindelfingen Germany .
NIKEid - There are over 25 million possible customization options for the new Nike Blazer including:
EASY ON, EASY OFF - Fed up with unlacing your hi tops? Add a side zipper. Available in colours so you can make it pop or keep it covert.
