The Blazer was one of the first basketball shoes to be taken and used in the skate world. Lance Mountain’s tribute to the model is based on when he first saw the shoe and other inspirations that led to his career as one of the most important figures in skate culture. The shoe features suede and the leather at the heel recalls the tiles in swimming pools where skaters first honed their skills. There is a shoutout to influential movie posters and the present in years placed at the heel.
