Nike SB is gearing up to celebrate the 45th anniversary of a legendary skateboarding brand with a special-edition sneaker release. The Thrasher x Nike SB Blazer Mid is a highly anticipated collaboration, reversing the colorway of their previous partnership from two decades ago. This limited-edition shoe is now available for pre-order, offering a unique opportunity for enthusiasts to own a piece of skateboarding history.
The Blazer Mid features a sleek design with black suede dominating its upper, contrasted by cream leather for the iconic Swoosh and heel, adorned with Thrasher's iconic logo embroidery. The cream accents continue with the tongue tag, while a black midsole and gum outsole complete the look. This release marks a significant moment in the partnership between Nike SB and Thrasher, who first collaborated on the Blazer in 2006, revolutionizing skateboarding footwear.
The original Thrasher Blazer Mid, released in 2006, is a rare find today. An unworn pair sold on eBay for $220 last year, a significant increase from its original retail price of $75. This surge in value highlights the enduring appeal and cultural impact of the Thrasher x Nike SB collaboration.
Nike SB's recent endeavors extend beyond skateboarding, as they introduced a retooled Air Jordan 1 Low during the NBA All-Star Weekend, showcasing their versatility in the basketball realm. The Thrasher x Nike SB Blazer Mid is now available for pre-order through Thrasher's website, with deliveries scheduled for June, priced at $110.
