About the original
The Nike Blazer debuted in December 1972 as one of Nike's first basketball shoes, named after the Portland Trail Blazers. Nike SB adapted the silhouette for skateboarding in 2005 under designer Lance Mountain, adding a padded tongue, vulcanized construction, and a Zoom Air heel unit. The Supreme FW22 version features quilted leather or quilted denim uppers, faux-snakeskin Swooshes in tan, gold stitching and hardware, debossed leather tongue tags, engraved D-ring heel tabs, and printed insoles. It released September 8, 2022 at $120 in two colorways, the first Supreme x Blazer since 2006.
About Nike SB
Nike SB is the skateboarding division of Nike, launched in March 2002 in Beaverton, Oregon, under the leadership of longtime Nike employee Sandy Bodecker. Bodecker, who joined Nike in 1979, structured the line as a grass-roots imprint distributed through independent skate shops rather than big-box retailers, after recognizing that skaters were already wearing the Air Jordan 1 and Blazer Mid. The Nike SB Dunk, a reworked basketball silhouette with a padded tongue and Zoom Air sock liner, became the program's anchor product and helped establish modern sneaker collecting. Supreme has collaborated with Nike SB on multiple Dunk Low and Dunk High releases since 2002.
