sb blazer mids vs fastbreaks
how do they fit and skate?
Blazers are more narrow and snug fitting, better boardfeel/worse impact protection (vulc). They feel pretty sturdy and substantial at first, but once you break them in they are flimsy and bag out more easily than the fastbreaks.
Fastbreaks are wider and slightly longer (i still go TTS because i hate cramping my toes, but many people say they go down a half size). A chunkier, more substantial shoe with a thicker cupsole.
As with most cupsoles, the flick changes over time. In comparison, the blazer are a bit more consistent in that regard.
Biggest issue with the fastbreaks is that most colorways use nylon in the area that i destroy the quickest on a skate shoe (ollie hole on the outside of your pinky toe). So either have some super glue ready or buy an all suede pair.
In general i see way more people in blazers, but i think thats probably due to availability and vulcs still being generally preferred (could be wrong about that)
personally i prefer the fastbreak, but im a cupsole kinda guy.
