Nike sells the Blazer Low '77 across the full size run, and this white and pink glaze pair covers the preschool bracket, where a strap does the work laces would. The upper is white leather, kept deliberately plain so the pink glaze reads clearly against it. The lace bed is largely decorative; the working closure is the hook-and-loop strap across the midfoot, which is why the shoe suits children who cannot yet tie. Underneath, the rubber outsole keeps the herringbone tread pattern carried over from the adult version.
It arrived on October 15, 2021 at an MSRP of $55, roughly half what the grown-up Blazer Low '77 cost at the time. The silhouette behind it dates to 1973, when Nike's first basketball shoe took its name from the Portland Trail Blazers, the NBA team down the road from the company's Oregon base.
