Check out one of the newest quickstrike releases to come out of Nike SB this month, the Sub Pop Blazer Elite. These sneakers are inspired by the legendary Seattle based record label that was formed in 1986 by Bruce Pavitt and Jonathan Poneman. If you are a fan of the 90's grunge scene then you have surely heard of this revolutionary record label. They pretty much shaped and popularized grunge music in the 90s with such inspirational bands as Nirvana and Soundgarden. The label is still going strong today with groups such as The Shins and Band of Horses. Anyways, on to the shoes. This colorway is comprised of a very bright yellow on the side panels with black suede on the toe cap up to the tongue. There is also a grey stripe on the sidepanels and along the heel which brings some nice contrast to the colorway. I always take note of the small details of the sneaker, and this one does not lack in that department. The Sub Pop logo can be found on the tongue, heel and inside the sneaker; that detail really sets these shoes off. These sneakers are available now, check out some of the best deals on the Nike SB Sub Pop Blazer Elites below in the followig auctions through eBay.
The Nike SB Blazer Low is probably one of the sickest shoes ever...definitely one of my top favorites of all time. It's basically everything cool about a sneaker all rolled into one. A. It is a Nike SB which means its a quality sneaker with a good name behind it and B. it is a vulcanized shoe which makes it ideal for skating. I have skated in many shoes over the years and this is by far my favorite sneaker to skate in. It is a lowtop which I am a big fan of. Skating in anything else just feels sort of too big and bulky...this is a thin, slender shoe that gives you great board feel and control. It is thin, but it isn't too thin to where it will rip really fast, which a lot of other shoes are guilty of. The vulcanized sole is perfect, not too big and not too small. Not only is the shoe perfect for skating, but they just look sick. Nike is always coming out with real sick colorways for this timeless sneaker. Get on the Nike Blazer low program, you won't regret it. Check out some of the Nike SB Blazer Lows for sale through the eBay auctions below...great selection down there.
This is one of the most limited Blazer's ever to be released from Nike SB, the "Made for Skate" Blazer. This pair is limited to only 24 pairs throughout the whole world and features a huge toe cap on the front of the sneaker for extra skate protection. The colorway of these sneakers references to the 80's retro era of skating. While these may be skateboarding shoes, I would not recommend skating in them...come on, ONLY 24 IN THE WHOLE WORLD. The inside of the tongue reads, "For skateboard use only, not designed for other activities." These sneakers will be released January 29th, good luck catching a pair!
