Nike SB released an updated colorway of its classic retro casual sneakers and it is definitely eye-catching. The timeless silhouette "has been favored by basketball players and skaters alike" since the 70s. The new Zoom Blazer Low model boasts tonal suede with a clean design. Paired with tonal lacing, stitching and lining, Nike's updated retro casual sneakers capture attention by way of their vibrant blue colorway.
The footwear giant's branding is prominent with the medial stitched Swoosh outline, as well as with the upgraded embossed leather patch. The biggest contrast in the new Nike SB Zoom Blazer Low, however, comes with the colorful clash between the blue suede upper and the textured gum sole.
