Old-School B-Ball Themes Continue Onto The Nike Blazer Mid ’77 EMB

To celebrate its Diamond Anniversary, the NBA will be teaming up with Nike to release a slew of special-edition Nike Dunk Lows next month. But before then, Nike will be embracing its involvement in the sport of basketball by taking iconic b-ball silhouettes such as the Nike Air Force 1 and the Nike Dunk High back to the ’90s. A Nike Blazer Mid ’77 will also be joining this “Official Basketball Merchandise” Pack by repping a sleek “Vast Grey” coloring.

This court style turned lifestyle favorite applies the aforementioned soft grey all over its smooth leather uppers. Similar to other propositions within this collection, corduroy Swooshes and overlays add to the overall vintage look and feel. “Official Nike Basketball Merchandise” branding on the heel continues to add decades to the design. As if that weren’t enough, Fresh Sports Specialties logos have been pulled from the ’90s to make their way onto the tongue label and insoles. Familiarity strikes again as a white rubber sole unit with a classic Herringbone pattern underfoot rounds out the offering.

Enjoy official images of the Blazer Mid ’77 EMB below, which will most likely arrive at Nike.com on September 10th with a price tag of $100.
