The Iceman Nike Blazers Releasing at House of Hoops
Posted by: SoleCollector
September 17th, 2008
IMPORTANT UPDATE, BLAZER SHIPMENTS ARE DELAYED AND THE ICEMAN RELEASE DATE IS NOW TBD.
With the Blazer becoming more and more popular with every drop, it’s now getting the ultra-limited treatment with this upcoming House of Hoops exclusive. This George The Iceman Gervin edition, created to honor the ABA and NBA legend, hits soon at Harlem’s HoH.
Nike’s first basketball silhouette is the perfect canvas to pay tribute to The Iceman, who actually played in the shoe during its original release. Gervin not only had the stats to end up in the NBA Hall of Fame, but the intangibles like a smooth, graceful and effortless style and trademark finger-roll that remain legendary in their own right. In a colorway reminiscent of team Gervin spent the majority of his career with, the San Antonio Spurs, these metallic silver Blazers will be limited to a mere 24 pairs.
