FAQs
Is this shoe intended for basketball?
While it draws inspiration from basketball heritage, the Blazer Mid Rebel is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear.
Does the leather require special treatment?
Yes, it is recommended to use a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
How does the sizing run?
The Nike Blazer series generally fits true to size, but those with wider feet may prefer to go up a half-size.
Can I replace the laces with standard ones?
You can replace them, but standard lace lengths might not interact correctly with the asymmetrical eyelets of the Rebel model.
What is the inspiration behind the design?
The shoe pays homage to the Portland Trail Blazers and the state of Oregon, where Nike was originally founded.
Are the lateral and medial sides identical?
No, the design features contrasting Swooshes with a white lateral side and a black medial side.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel uneven due to asymmetrical design
Unlace the shoe completely and relace slowly, ensuring each eyelet is threaded to maintain the intended asymmetrical geometry.
Foam on collar showing wear
Avoid contact with sharp surfaces and store the shoes upright, keeping the collar area clear of heavy objects.
Creasing on leather panels
Insert wooden shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the structure of the leather upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Blazer Mid Rebel, keep these maintenance tips in mind:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush and a gentle leather cleaner to wipe away dust and debris. Avoid soaking the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the blue leather color from fading.
- Lacing: Because of the asymmetrical design, avoid pulling the laces with extreme force, as the eyestay overlays are unique in their placement.
- Protection: Consider applying a water-repellent spray specifically formulated for leather to protect against accidental spills and light rain.
