The name is inspired by the Portland basketball team, the Portland Trail Blazers. Since the basketball shoe also met the demands of skaters, it didn&#8217;t take long for the Blazer to gain a foothold in skateboarding. The Nike SB Blazer, designed by Lance Mountain, was released in 2005 and was adapted to the special requirements for skateboarding for the first time.\r\n\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t<p>\r\n\t\t The <a href=\"\/en\/nike-sb-blazer?scat=1069\">Nike SB Blazer Low<\/a> and <a href=\"\/en\/nike-sb-blazer?scat=1070\">Blazer Mid<\/a> models are still an integral part of the Nike SB skate shoe range.\r\n\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t<h2>\r\n\t\tFit &#038; board feel\r\n\t<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\t<p>\r\n\t\tThe Nike SB Blazer Mid is &#8220;true-to-size&#8221;, so you can order your usual shoe size. Mid and high silhouette shoes are known for being somewhat more complicated to put on than low-cut silhouettes. That is also the case with the Blazer Mid. But once you&#8217;re in the shoes, all your efforts will have paid off.\r\n\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"row\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"small-12 medium-6 medium-push-6 columns\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"hide-for-small-only\"><br><\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Nike-SB-Blazer-Mid-Wear-Test-Unboxing-07.jpg\" title=\"Nike SB Blazer Mid Wear Test - Review\" alt=\"Nike SB Blazer Mid Wear Test - Review\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1em;\">\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<div class=\"small-12 medium-6 medium-pull-6 columns\">\r\n\t\t\t<p>\r\n\t\t\t\tThe skate shoe is comfortable to wear from the start and is equipped with a vulcanized rubber outsole and a <a href=\"\/blog\/en\/skate-shoe-technologies\/#nike-sb-zoom\" title=\"Nike SB Zoom technology\">Nike Zoom Air<\/a> footbed. In general, the blazer feels rather slim, but that&#8217;s probably because of its tight fit. In terms of fit and board feel, the blazer is completely convincing from the get-go.

Even after several weeks of skating and kickflips, there is little wear and tear.

Thanks to the good workmanship and the high-quality materials, the Nike SB Blazer Mid is a very resistant skate shoe.

The Nike skate shoe is solid in every way. From boardfeel and fit, to durability and performance, to a timeless design at a fair price. In addition to the classic Black &#038; White model, new colorways of the Blazer Mid follow every season.
