FAQs
Are these good for playing basketball?
While the Blazer has a basketball heritage, the '77 Jumbo is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker. It offers decent traction for casual wear but lacks the advanced cushioning and support needed for competitive play.
How do I clean the white leather and black Swoosh?
Wipe the leather and Swoosh with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Do the jumbo laces stay tied well?
The jumbo laces are generally secure when tied properly, but due to their size, they may require a double knot for added security, especially during activity.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is primarily constructed from leather, with suede accents on the toe box and overlays.
How does the sizing compare to other Nike shoes?
Some users find the Blazer Mid '77 Jumbo to run slightly large or wide. It is advisable to check Nike's size guide or try them on if possible, as individual fit preferences vary.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather offers some protection, but the suede is not water-resistant. These are best worn in dry to mildly damp conditions. For heavy rain, consider footwear with more robust waterproofing.
What does the 'Jumbo' refer to?
The 'Jumbo' in the name refers to the exaggerated design elements, such as the oversized Swoosh logo, jumbo laces, and larger pull tabs.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too large or loose.
Tighten the jumbo laces considerably. Consider using thicker socks or an insole for a snugger fit. If the looseness is significant, you may need to consider a half-size down.
Suede material looks dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, try a suede eraser. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Difficulty pulling the shoe on.
Ensure the elastic heel is fully relaxed. Use the large pull tabs at the heel and tongue to assist in sliding your foot in. Avoid forcing the shoe on, which could damage the structure.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
The herringbone outsole offers good grip, but like most rubber soles, traction can be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Stylish retro design with modern updates.
- Durable construction with premium leather and suede.
- Comfortable for everyday wear.
- Good traction due to the herringbone outsole.
- Easy to put on and take off with pull tabs.
Cons
- Sizing might be inconsistent for some, potentially running large.
- Suede accents may require careful cleaning.
- Not specifically designed for high-performance athletic activities compared to modern specialized shoes.
- Can be perceived as a more casual shoe rather than formal wear.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These sneakers require no specific setup beyond lacing them to your preferred tightness. The jumbo laces can be adjusted for a secure fit. The elastic heel ensures the shoe conforms to your foot once on.
Compatibility:
The Nike Blazer Mid '77 Jumbo is designed as a lifestyle shoe and is compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, joggers, and casual dresses.
Care Instructions:
- Leather Parts: Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a leather cleaner. Avoid soaking.
- Suede Accents: Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Protect with a suede protector spray if desired.
- Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a laundry bag.
- Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to maintain shape when not in use.
