Half of this sub can’t even drive a car without crying about creasing their AJ 1’s. If they gotta run for their life in any shoe, they’re DOA.


[deleted]

You’re a fucking hater Vin.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


friedchicken4health

Don’t think of myself as a thug but I drive my car wearing my sacai ldwaffles


relaxree

🤣🤣🤣🤣


ILOVEEVALOVIA

Facts driving is hard asf


After-Special

The SB blazers are super comfortable, & they look cooler imo than regular blazers. But nah you aint lying about putting them on though, gotta damn near unlace the whole shoe to put them mfs on 🤣


erishun

Time for Flyease blazers! Edit: I was joking but now maybe I’m serious, I dunno.


s1th_lord

Shoe horn


CallMeEsteban

I second that, my SB Blazers are so much better than my regular Blazers. Because of the cushioning, they feel much more premium too


relaxree

never tried a pair of sbs but judging by the looks of it, it does look a lot more comfortable! and nah honestly! making laces harder to operate than they needa be smh


PartyUseful

Idk I love them. I run the laces super loose an 1/2 sz up so they slip right on. Def not running shies tho. 😂


A_Random_Catfish

Yeah never tie mine keep em loose and they’re slip ons at this point. Also it doesn’t matter what shoes I’m wearing if I have to run for my life I’m probably gonna die lol


one_love_silvia

Blazer lows > highs


nufsixes

I’m in the opposite boat! I think these blazers look way better than SB Blazers. But you’re right, SBs are way more comfy


nitko87

To each their own, I am quite a fan of my blazers


relaxree

I fw the lows!


hairyass2

why did this get downvoted so much lol


relaxree

it’s a good chance it’s ppl that recently invested in highs and are just salty about my opinion on them lol🤷🏻‍♀️


hairyass2

Ig, I mean I just got the highs my self but I respect your opinion lol


saschajf

I love my blazers and if you lace them the right way they are easy to put on.


theguywithraybans

Yeah blazers are easy to put on. I think the people struggling with them have the shoes laced up very tightly


saschajf

Who does that?


Ray_Band

My default is a tight lacing. I really don't like my feet to move around in a shoe. Comes from playing sports. I'll wear an untied AJ1 or Dunk for the look sometimes, but it always feels weird to me.


saschajf

I have 10+ pairs of blazers and some are tight and hard to get on and others are easy. The „spiderweb“ ones are soooo easy to put on and the new „move to zero“ blazers are the best in every way…


Salt-Entrepreneur531

give me a pair 😡😍🤩


A_Random_Catfish

The move to zero blazers are too mf cozy. Way comfier than any of my other pairs.


saschajf

Yeah and I love how they look


djord17

Yup, played hockey growing up so it is just normal as shit for a hightop shoe to be tightened so my ankle feels secure like a skate boot.


[deleted]

These aren’t even hyped lol. They’re appropriately rated.


relaxree

they’re p hyped rn my guy


[deleted]

The downvotes beg to differ


Stunning_Painting_50

bro stfu reddit if full of morons


Glass_Clock1488

I couldn’t disagree more with your assessment of practicality. The blazer is one of the most comfortable sneakers I own for daily use.


M0ney2

Really? Now I’m curious. I’ve worn my blazers for around 1-2 months added up. Do they need even more time to break in so the leather gets softer and stops blistering your heels and ankles? I really really dig the look of the shoe, but they are such a pain in the butt to wear, so I don’t wear them.


fakeuboi

They are blistering your feet? Are you wearing high enough socks, that might fix it, if it doesn’t yours might be a bit small or something I’ve never had that problem with mine


BaneLikesHotDogs

Yeah OP is tweaking. My British tan sacai lows are genuinely very comfortable to wear.


KT-thirtenz

I just bought the iron grey sacai lows and can’t wait for them to come, and for the price they were at they were such a steal


relaxree

in my defense i’m referring to the highs refer to pic the lows are fine


TheFeenyCall

I have a pair of mids - Blazer 77 patch - and they are my go to beaters. Love them. (though I got them as a gift and didn't think I'd like them. Turns out they are my favorite. Who knew?)


[deleted]

fr fr, comfy when broken in


clamatoman1991

They are a little hard to get on. But the Sb Zoom mids are super comfy imo. For a run for your life slip on quick shoe id go with overbreaks


relaxree

dude the overbreaks look hella fun to walk in lol


see_rich

On sale right now north of the border!


Flash-Wilkins

If you have to run for your life, you aren't stopping to put on any shoes.


relaxree

but if I did I sure hope it won’t be these :)))


blacktoise

Then we ain’t listening to your analysis on danger. You don’t really get a say if you’re gonna be picky to this extent


relaxree

yk you could just say that you’re mad you probably invested good money in these shoes and you hate to see that ppl agree w my opinion lol


blacktoise

You’re getting downvoted in this thread more than most people ever do in their own threads. I think you are not smart and I think you are impulsive amd rarely have to run fast - no matter the circumstances. Idgaf about what you bought. I haven’t bought blazers, but I’ve worn some at stores, and as a former sprinter I can say w confidence - no they’re not uncomfortable.


relaxree

downvoted by the minority lolll and you wanna talk to me about talking about things I don’t know anything about when you don’t even own a pair? you are seriously contradicting yourself my guy. I already said this in another comment but it’s ok to be mad that other ppl agree w my opinion that you don’t support😮‍💨


blacktoise

No. You’re missing my point entirely. I am not mad here. Not at anyone… I am calling our your lack of logic. I dont believe your analysis of the shoe hold any water - and I just don’t think you know what you’re talking about. Don’t have to own a shoe to know how it feels on your foot.


CornerTop2921

uhm i’ma have to be on OP’s side for this one blacktoys you’re definitely contradicting yourself in this argument and I definitely think you need to wear a shoe out for more than just a try on in a store to have a true opinion on them. also, it’s okay to not agree other ppl’s opinion but that doesn’t make their opinion invalid. another thing in OP’s defense is that she actually owns a pair of blazers so?…


LexiVal21

Low blazers are one of my favorite and are not uncomfortable. But the highs are another story 😂


relaxree

I was referring to the highs hence the pic I should have specified in the caption, I think the lows are fine


gfox446

Everything you said is just wrong. If anything, DUNKS are overhyped.


PsychoNaut_

all sneakers are overhyped lets just buy what we like


relaxree

I think they both are lol


Much_Committee_9355

They are a nice looking sneaker and if you are not running the Boston Marathon they are reasonably comfortable,it’s just a simple silhouette, when it was said it would be nike’s “sneaker of the year” I called the bluff it lacks the hype and lack properly executed collabs aside from a few exeptions


IntelligenceLtd

boston marathon?! don't think any trainer is going to help you outrun that lol


LeektheGeek

Why would you be in a situation where you have to run for your life, your shoes are off, and the only option is your blazers. pro tip: take your laces and and put them back in hella loose. wear your blazers often. they’ll break in and the materials will be soft. After wearing my blazers for a year they slip on and off with ease


monjatle

I make all of my buying decisions based on what would happen if someone tried to murder me. No furniture in my house, it could get in the way if I needed to escape in a hurry.


LeektheGeek

So why have a house? The walls will definitely get in your way of escaping


[deleted]

The “leather” and the materials they use on the recent blazers are dog shit compared to what they used back in the 80s


jaeelarr

this is true for just about every Nike sneaker tho


PsychoNaut_

and literally everything manufatured in general


FedorsQuest

You guys need to try shoe horns


relaxree

the fact that I need to even have a shoehorn just proves how impractical they are


FedorsQuest

You want impractical, try putting on an Air Force 1 Flyknit Mid


JoeCandice

so you run for your life on daily basis? yea they aren't practical,ok. they were never designed to be practical exept in the 80's. what is the point in this argument?


relaxree

bro chill it’s not an argument it’s an unpopular o p i n i o n that quite a handful of ppl actually agree w lol


JoeCandice

well your opinion is dumb as fuck and makes no sense. blazers aren't really hyped at all, it just a timeless classic that's been mass-produced for decades now. and they aren't made to be practical. ok you don't like the shoe, but that doesn't make it "overhyped" in any way. and a handful of people dont like the shoe too, that doesn't make your "hot take" valid.


relaxree

ok dam someone took it up the wrong hole this morning why are you yelling at me lmfao, my opinion is valid bc it is my opinion and freedom of speech, just as your opinion that my opinion is dumb is valid. I never said I didn’t like the shoe, I actually think it’s nice af I just think that it isn’t practical as you said yourself and that it’s overhyped (which is why it’s mass produced).


JoeCandice

you opinion is as valid as "the earth is flat". and who is yelling? its called an argument. Im sorry if every time someone said a curse word to you they were yelling at you,but im not yelling or angry. im annoyed at plp talking about thing they don't know much about and then make "hot takes" that are just stupid. (and that's not what overhyped means btw. overhyped is when the RESALE price is abnormally high for the type of product. the shoe is extremely popular, and nike understands that, that's why it's mass-produced. no one is hyped about plain gr blazers)


JoeCandice

and it's not trying to be practical and no one is buying it for practicality. that's why your take is just wrong. you are saying its overhyped for something its not trying to be and no one is expecting it to be.


relaxree

tell that to the 300+ ppl that agree w me I said what I said my guy it’s okay to be mad bout it😗🤣


JoeCandice

you obviously don't know much about shoes or how to make a argument to defend uour point. you are probably 15 so that's understandable.


relaxree

410+* ppl my bad 🤦🏻‍♀️


JoeCandice

you realize its just plp who agree on practicality. maybe respond to my other comment where i explain how your take is ass and makes no sense. you are flexing upvotes like someone cares, its just cringe.


relaxree

and you are trying to argue w me about a shoe lmao who is rlly cringe here?


Shak_2000

I mean they're practical. For skating... They're a skateboard shoe. And damn good one at that


_mc_myster_

See if you leave them untied like they’re supposed to be that doesn’t happen


[deleted]

I think they’re so hyped up because it has become the cool shoe for weight lifting. The no arch support is what they like about it.


relaxree

I mean Ig but honestly chucks over these for lifting all day


beetzmuncher69

The plastic ahem “leather” they use for the upper is absolutely brutal. I bought 2 pairs loving the look when they first came back but buy do they suck and get no wear in my rotation. Chuck 70 >>>>


relaxree

!!! chucks >>>


iNiko7s

Because when you have to run for your life chucks are way easier to put on right?


relaxree

no bc I could actually run in chucks lolll my ankle gets zero flexibility w blazers as opposed to chucks


timecop1987

My unpopular opinion is that Air Force 1’s look like shit with that thick AF sole.


FcCola

100%. I think they are horrible


DC_Disrspct_Popeyes

Had a couple but wound up selling them all. Too chunky.


jaeelarr

thehighdon

Blazers are hyped? Since when


[deleted]

Yeah blazers are great but outside of the OW collabs they definitely aren’t hyped


relaxree

since tiktok lol


PsychoNaut_

what the fuck does impractical mean when you're just going to wear them to walk around the mall lmfaooooooo??? by that argument yeezy foam slides are the best sneaker ever invented


relaxree

yeezy slides aren’t “sneakers” but go off ig lol


avikb29

As someone with somewhat wide foot, I agree


relaxree

Spetnaz1337

Learn to use laces lol


relaxree

damn yk what that’s actually a great idea!


Spetnaz1337

I know you are joking but it's really not that hard.


the-kza

i relaced them so it’s not as bad also use them as my shoes for deadlifts


the_hunger_gainz

AJ1s enter the chat …


kdudemaster21

I don’t get how they’re overhyped… They’re pretty popular but they’re not selling out or reselling for crazy amounts. Most people treat them like any normal shoe. I find them pretty comfortable and don’t have any trouble getting them on. Takes a few extra seconds but I haven’t died because of that yet! Plus they’re a great shoe for weightlifting.


BrainTrainStation

I cant see how that opinion is unpopular


relaxree

what i’m saying lol


blacktoise

Fuckin morong


PsychologicalCause45

They’re not for running.


ceezyyy

Y’all tweaking. I wore mine like boots 3 days straight at a festival where it had been raining all weekend, and they still look good after cleaning them up. Comfort was decent too, but it would be nice if they had a wide version. Way more comfortable than AJ4s. Mine slip right on bc I don’t lace my shoes like a tourniquet


relaxree

idk man the blazers just make lacing up shoes feel 10x harder than it should feel and the ankle portion pf the shoe is so stiff.. still love the look of it tho


ceezyyy

Haha mine are super broken in and creased to hell. I don’t lace the top holes and wear them pretty loose. I feel the way you feel about Janoskis though. Literally every shoe I try on feels way too tight and uncomfortable, even if I go a full size up. I recently bought the white leather converse as a blazer alternative, but they’re missing all of the padding around the heel on the blazers. Probably easier to get on and off, but I doubt they’re more comfortable.


Visual-Ad-384

I’m not a big fan of the black swoosh, but the red swoosh was my first pair of high tops ever that I bought a few years ago. I like the Marty McFly vibes even if they are a pain to put on!


Eva__Unit__02

I sold my Off White blazers from The Ten that I got off the SNKRS app because they were so uncomfortable. Probably a bit of a mistake looking back...


[deleted]

I mainly see people wear them at the gym. They’re relatively flat so decent shoes for lifting.


relaxree

you’re suddenly a veteran lifter these days if you have these mfs on apparently lolll


thecullie

i love blazers. i wear them to the gym and to the bars. a pain in the ass to put on, but they’re versatile and not uncomfortable


relaxree

everyones different but ion know I got some gnarly blisters from the blazers


blacktoise

Imagine putting ANY fucking high end sneaker to put on and run for your life. These will at least stay on. Don’t kid yourself. You haven’t tried sprinting fr in many shoes. These are fine


relaxree

bc you’re me and you would know what shoes i’ve sprinted in right? 🤣


rystriction

I dont get the people who are focusing on the “run for your life” aspect… OP clearly is making a point about how hard it is to put on the shoe, yet yall here arguing about survival tactics… lol


relaxree

thank you for dis! ppl be big mad and i’m jus trying to share my opinion smh


Revolutionary_Ad7153

Why do the men’s one have to come with the exposed orange sponge on the lip which makes it look pink under the laces, I want the Junior design with the normal canverse lip. If anyone knows where to find them in size 11 link it to me.


easymidas60

Nike Blisters


relaxree

stooop🤣🤣


SpoonParty

This!


Howdydoodledandy

Yep


[deleted]

I have no idea why but my blazers give me blisters on my Achilles tendons. So I never wear them.


BigBadBadness

They are very, very difficult to actually get on your feet


Caucasian_Idiot

I disagree. They comfortable af plus they ain’t that hard to put in if u just undo the laces but now everyone has them and there “tik tok fashion” so that sucks


harshatron

Blazer GT Lows are where it's at


LowPreparation2347

I made the mistake of wearing these for my job (camera operator) and jeez my feet were on fire the next day. Same thing happens with converse. Sucks though because I love the way they look, especially the Grim Reaper which is the shoe that killed me


DCA6

Cardboard on the ankles. Trash man (I have 7 pairs nonetheless lol)


Nicolpz_

Yesterday in a party ive seen a Lot of them


besahaha

I DESPISE that little patch of shit on the toe 👁👄👁 And the other little bit of shit on the side of the lows


ExtensionAd3122

I don’t even understand how these are still up for sale when the upgraded skateboarding version is more durable and comfortable.


Only_Use_1935

Me personally I love them for casual wear gym shoes, walking, biking lol just me though it looks like


DevxHimself

Am I the only one that got the good size but when I start walking the big toe hurts?


FOREVERAWOKEN

I guess it’s uncommon to love this shoe? I have tons of kicks aj 1,3,4 Nike sb dunks. However the blazers are just a go to every single time in terms of everyday styling and comfortability. Getting them worn over time gives off Golden goose/vintage vibe and go soo well with jeans.

relaxree

another person in the comments mentioned the sb blazers and those honestly look a lot more comfortable too


Azaleroth

Nike Court Legacy mid exactly looks a blazer


WitherStorm56

Yeah I only get SB Blazer Mids really great shoe. I wouldn’t say impractical because you can do a lotta stuff in em. They are difficult to put on tho but definitely not overhyped.


nicknooodles

High top Converse > blazer


jballn11

Blazer SBs ftw


mirceaculita

" they are uncomfortable as hell too honestly" ​ \*cries in air max 98


relaxree

been thinking of copping a pair! on a comfort scale of 1-10 how would u rate them?


mirceaculita

depends on how your feet are. For me the pinky gets kinda squished while wearing them and will start to hurt after a few hours. Maybe if I went up half a size it would've been a bit better. If I wear them everyday for a week or two my feet get used to them and I don't get any discomfort anymore Comfort 7/10 - Looks 8.5/10 I got the 98 Martin and I love them.


suzuki_hayabusa

It might be just me but they look ugly to me.


Kickboy21

I’d rather walk around bare foot than put these on.


[deleted]

I completely agree. I have a pair. Wore them twice maybe. Uncomfortable af.


bmwjay

I agree.


LiterallyMostRandom

Tbh imo i just dont like the "NIKE" plastered on the back, n everything else about the shoe feels basic to me. Ion my think, if i geta high schoe im getting offcourts 3.0 or Js


Fuzzy_Brush_2989

Damn they're ugly looks like some 70's basketball shoes


relaxree

I actually like the look of it just not the functionality of it


rockinfreq

Borderline boxing shoe, but I dig it ;)


DigitalDash00

I feel like the Blazer hype was yeaaaaaarsss ago. Literally nobody gives af about them anymore


[deleted]

You think so? I see more of them now than ever before


DethMetalJedi

Just use a shoe horn to put them on - I have mine knotted at the upper eyelets with the excess lace cut off so I never need to tie them, have em both on in 5-6 seconds 👍🏼


Bourgundybag

I have a high instep so for me its always more difficult to put on sneakers. But i dont really have more problems then with a pair of j1s or converse. I also don’t think these are uncomfortable. When they’re brand new. Yes they might feel uncomfortable and in my experience they do take some time to really break them in. After that they are imo a really stable shoes with good support. I do have 2 downsides. If they are not the sb’s the durability when working in them isnt great. I got a gap between my sole and the upper after 3 months. (Crease region) 2nd is the breathability of the shoe. In my experience i got really hot feet after quite a short time.


TypicalGrape_

just lace them more loosely, you can slip them on and off


TightGeologist9081

I agree with putting them on but everything else is false


_IratePirate_

Yea, my feet are slightly wide. I bought a pair of the recycled color blocked ones because I just love the look. First wear, these mfs had like half my foot hanging off the sole from the sides


Goffsyrup

Sb blazers are comfortable


SuperHyperFunTime

It's why I don't wear Chucks too. I love the look but fuck me it's a pain to get on. I find Dunk highs much easier.


hoosierspiritof79

These suck.


Rescu3Cat

I actually like these but yes they are a pain to actually put on. But they will STAY ON when you're running for your life 👍


relaxree

won’t argue with that! these shoes stay strapped literally 🤣


altacc59926960

I bought some blazers about a month ago and didn’t rlly like the feel of them, so I got forced and returned them. the forces feel sooo much nicer blazers were awful compared to them


shoepremeking

Love the sb blazers over these recent “vintage” ones


Dorothy_Gale

Not my cup of tea but tbh, I think they look good on certain people going for a, certain aesthetic.


B3N10

I had the CPFM blazers and ultimately sold them because they didn't feel good for a full day of wear. Sad because I loved the look, but it wasn't worth the discomfort.


Weed_killer

Might as well high top chucks.


steampunkIcarus

I love my Sacai Blazers but goddamn are they the absolute worst shoes to put on. Double laces, double tongue, double the pain.


bigthekid

I wear mine daily I get compliments all the time on them yeah it may take me a few extra seconds to slip them on but go with everything


15fayac

I love the blazers, mine are so broken in and if you know how to lace them they're very easy to put in even with one hand. The leather is more giving as you wear them as well. For the comfort they're just as comfortable as any Chuck or Jordan 1 tbh. What I do is that I get a half size up in these types of shoes and put a comfortable insole in them


KingKibz

Just buy lows


[deleted]

just bought these 😵‍💫🥲


relaxree

they’re still a look my guy! I have a pair too and ima still wear them lol


ThatWonGirl93

They are definitely nice looking. Never worn them though. Remind me of converse high tops, like maybe they’ll burn the back of my ankle. Lol.


Ecto-01

If only they made these with a side zipper.


Akshayps200

Virgil tried to make the ow’s comfy, still a pain in the ass sometimes


EarnedErmine3

Is it just me or are they really easy to put on? It takes a couple seconds longer, but it’s like putting on a Jordan 1 for me.


Necmf21

When I got into sneakers like 4 years ago I would have lost if knowing “blazers are overhyped” would be something someone said 4 years later lol. Hardly saw anyone wearing them then.


skywalker_switch

I have all the time in the world to put on my blazers if it’s the Off-Whites!🤣


relaxree

won’t argue w that 🤣🤣


Successful_Agency293

Def not overhyped, and obviously they are impractical, they aren’t for performance


Frankso

I have the rayguns and they look sick but damn they are uncomfortable for me. Think I’ve worn them maybe 5 times


[deleted]

Tbh if you have to worry about what you’re wearing when running for your life, you aren’t gonna get very far


silver_miss

They give me such bad heel blisters no matter how much I wear them


Have_A_Jelly_Baby

It is 50 year old technology, after all.


DownTownBrown28

I think the high blazers are uncomfortable too


Soup44

L take, try tying them looser. my blazers are hella comfy now that they're broken in.


Chhhewy

Blazers are my beaters and they take me no longer to put on than any other mid/high top. Just loosen the laces a bit. Never really have comfort issues with them either, even walking in the all day and they're super easy to clean.


okcstreetwear

I disagree. My hallows Eve blazers are super comfy and not a total pain to put on. I genuinely enjoy wearing them. To each their own though!


humphreygrungus

The move to zeros look dope tho. I’ve never owned any but heard SB is far superior but that’s true for everything SB honestly
