The Nike Blazer Mid LR marks the first time we’ve seen LunarLon used in conjunction with Beaverton’s 1973 original basketball silhouette. It’s the first time we’ve seen the Mid cut differ so greatly from the high and the first time that the midtop Slide’s toe stitching hasn’t indicated a ‘foxing’ ribbon (not to mention those new side panel reinforcements). So how does a model with so much deviation from its heritage still manage to look so familiar (even when it feels so much better)? The Blazer Mid LR keeps with the nearly forty year-old conventions like a fat ‘belly’ Swoosh and old school non-italicized heel branding, and thanks to the Nike lebron 11 low sprite, a pair of jeans has these virtually indistinguishable from the less technically-capable forebears.
