{"product_id":"nike-blazer-dqm","title":"Nike Blazer DQM","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"64\" data-end=\"473\"\u003eThe Nike Blazer x DQM (Dave’s Quality Meat) is a standout collaboration that takes one of Nike’s most historic silhouettes and reworks it through the raw, playful lens of New York skate culture. Built on the classic Nike Blazer—originally a 1973 basketball shoe—the design reflects both the simplicity of the original model and the creative experimentation that defined early 2000s sneaker collaborations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"475\" data-end=\"882\"\u003eReleased in 2008, the DQM project was led by Dave Ortiz and the DQM team, who are known for bringing an irreverent, deli-inspired energy to sneaker culture. Their take on the Blazer leaned into premium materials and unexpected detailing, most notably incorporating full-grain leather and safari-print suede panels that gave the shoe a rugged yet elevated texture. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"884\" data-end=\"1227\"\u003eThe colorways varied across the collection, but all shared a common theme: bold contrasts, layered textures, and subtle branding details that felt more like design signatures than logos. Hits like mismatched tones, premium suede overlays, and clean Swoosh executions gave the sneaker a balance between loud personality and wearable simplicity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1229\" data-end=\"1547\"\u003eStaying true to the Blazer’s skateboarding legacy, the shoe also carries functional roots. The vulcanized sole and durable upper made it a natural fit for skate use, while its mid-top profile maintained the timeless court aesthetic that has kept the Blazer relevant for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nike","offers":[{"title":"12 \/ New","offer_id":51705400721540,"sku":"317435-002","price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/0920\/3332\/files\/4599456F-8448-4577-A023-CD8254351743.png?v=1782324263","url":"https:\/\/beartownsneaks.net\/products\/nike-blazer-dqm","provider":"BearTownSneaks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
