About the Nike Blazer_
The first Nike Blazer was a pioneering shoe. Released in 1973, it took its name from the Portland Trail Blazers; as Nike’s first hoop shoe, it proved worthy of its name. A welcomed departure from its more clunky counterparts of the time, the Nike Blazer offered several features designed to improve performance basketball footwear for the game: fine grain leather, outsoles that offered greater traction, extra support, less weight. It wasn’t long before the simple white hi-tops with the elongated swoosh became de rigueur on and off the court, leading the way for Nike’s dominance as a basketball/lifestyle brand.
About the Nike Terminator
It was 1985 and the Georgetown Hoyas weren’t budging. It was going to take something special to get the college basketball powerhouse out of their current Nike shoe, the Legend. The way they saw it, it was part of their look, their reputation. That was until Nike showed them the Terminator, a shoe that commanded attention in every way. In front, a durable, leather upper is highlighted be perforated leather at the toe for breathability. Best of all, the Nike Terminator hooked up with the distinctive blue and gray Hoya team uniforms. They loved it. Naturally, so did all the other Division 1 teams who were soon clamoring for their own team shoe. This is how the Dunk came to be, released in eight different colors to represent eight of the top D1 programs. From every Saturday on, hidden beyond every game face was a wide grin.
About Stussy
In 1980, Shawn Stussy, a local cult surfboard shaper, took his scrawled signature logo from his foam masterpieces and applied it to tee shirts that he sold along with his boards around Laguna Beach, CA. As the clothing line expanded, it's raw and modern aesthetic soon developed into the next generation of new wave beach culture. With Stussy's success, the company hooked up with trendsetters in New York, London, Tokyo and other areas of the world. Stussy clothing was inspired by this international group of musicians, skaters, DJs and artists with similar tastes, which helped to shape the brand into an international streetwear label. Today, Stussy exists as a brand with worldwide respect and independence. With over sixty stores across the globe and a very strong tribe still in effect, Stussy is a leader in a culture they helped start over 25 years ago.
