Nike SB Zoom Blazer Low Pro GT "Blue Bicoastal" FJ1679-400
Available From
The Nike SB Zoom Blazer Low Pro GT “Blue Bicoastal” FJ1679-400, influenced by Grant Taylor, updates a favoured skateboarding shoe with modern enhancements and greater durability. By integrating suede and canvas with increased taping, this new version is designed to endure the demands of skateboarding while maintaining its original appeal.
Suede and canvas offer a dependable build that withstands wear over time, making it a solid choice for skaters. Vulcanised construction connects the sole to the upper, granting a flexible, pre-worn feel right out of the box, crucial for skateboarding activities.
The shoe’s solid rubber outsole features a herringbone pattern for essential traction, necessary for grip on both the skateboard and various surfaces. This design choice also nods to the shoe’s origins in basketball, adapting it for skateboarding’s specific needs. Additional higher taping between the midsole and the upper increases the shoe’s resilience, targeting areas typically prone to wear.
Completing the design, a padded, low-cut collar ensures comfort around the ankle, further enhancing the skating experience.
Dressed in University Blue/University Blue/Summit White/Bicoastal, the Nike SB Zoom Blazer Low Pro GT “Blue Bicoastal” continues the evolution of the Blazer line. Originally launched in 1972 as a basketball shoe, the Blazer has become a versatile mainstay for skaters and those with an appreciation for durable footwear, constantly evolving to meet the changing requirements of its wearers. This iteration reflects a commitment to offering a combination of durability and functionality, suited for the rigours of skateboarding.
