The main feature on the Nike Blazer is the oversized swoosh on the side panel of the shoe. That was the main idea that Nike envisioned for the shoe. Make the swoosh large enough to be noticed but not to the point that it looked purposely done. It was first worn by George Petrie and was seen on the feet of players such as George Gervin, Sidney Wicks, and David Thompson. The shoe was famous in all aspects, from being seen in The White Shadow, to winning a championship with the Portland Trailblazers. It marked the beginning of an infinite era in Nike Basketball.
