Nike Blazer Low 77 review

Who should buy the Nike Blazer Low 77

Considered one of Nike's most iconic profiles, the Blazer Low 77 wears versatility on its sleeve, bearing the classic basketball shoe style but with a more casual appeal. You are its target crowd if:

• You're into old-school sneakers that provide minimalist-specific comfort.
• Kicks that don't break easily, particularly those that don't cost a fortune, are what you're after.
• Your sneaker collection is missing a low-profile shoe that can complete your smart-casual OOTD without breaking a sweat.

Who should NOT buy it

If your heel size is regular, but your toes fall on the broad end of the spectrum, you're better off wearing the New Balance 990 v5. Also, skip the Blazer Low 77 for the Adidas Samoa if you want a sneaker that loosens up straight out of the gate.

Remarkable through the ages

Most reviewers describe the style of the Nike Blazer Low 77 as "timeless," "fashionably old-school," and "cool vintage."

Cramped toe box

Just like its mid-top version, the Blazer Low 77 also feels a bit tight, especially around the forefoot.

Like most minimalist sneakers, this iteration is easy to match with countless attires.

Your wallet's bestfriend

Heaps of buyers are amused by its ultra-low asking price. Because of this, some reveal their plan of buying another pair but in a different colorway.

Nike's undisputed hall of famers

Joining Blazer in Nike's impressive honor board are several ageless pairs that continuously reign the sneaker market:

• Nike Air Max. Introduced in the '80s, this revolutionary collection is the first to feature the innovative Air unit cushioning visibly. Its style has endured the test of time and is considered one of the pioneers of the modern-day's dad sneaker trend.
• Nike Dunk. Released initially as footwear for the hardwood, the Dunk slowly transitioned as fashionable street kicks. In 2020, Nike improved its padding and traction to convert it into a highly-coveted Nike SB Dunk. 
• Nike Air Force 1. The Nike Air Force One was the first to use Air cushioning technology on the hardcourts. It revolutionized the sneaker culture and game by releasing countless variations over time.
