2003 Nike Blazer Zoo York Mid Sneaker. Style 306800 061. Black with Varsity Red Logo and Anthracite Gray and Gold Accents. Men Size 7. In Excellent Pre-Owned Condition.

Zoo York, a skate apparel label inspired by the NYC-based graffiti art and hip-hop sub-culture of the 70’s, was once the powerhouse in the urban apparel sector in the 90’s and early 2000’s that represented a cultural movement of sorts; repping Zoo York meant you were in with the skate/hip-hop/graffiti lifestyle of New York City, and with fashion-forward Pharrell rocking ZY apparel, the brand had gained true legitimacy in the game. In 2002, Zoo York was tapped as an outside source to design one of the now-immortal First Series product line of the Nike SB Dunk. Not long after, Zoo York again teamed up with Nike to design two simple Blazer Mid colorways in Black/Red and Grey/Blue. In 2004, Zoo York would experience life in the ultimate mainstream channel, as actor Ashton Kutcher (a guy recognized for his laid-back, casual, and goofy style) was appointed as the face of the brand. Today, Zoo York is still in the headlines, but mostly in part due to a series of advertisements with the buxom Kate Upton.
