Their Nizza is adidas Originals’ classic basketball silhouette most likely to be compared to the Nike Blazer, but did you know adi Dassler’s footwear brand actually beat the Swoosh’s first b-ball sneaker to market by nearly four years? 1969’s adidas Originals Basket Profi beat the Blazer out of the gates by a hefty margin, and these four new suede designs attempt to gain back some of that attention. Featuring white-on-color construction, these come off quite similar to Nike Sportswear’s VNTG Blazer series; will you make these a part of your rotation now that they’re available at select Three Stripes dealers like 43einhalb?
