Marshall W. “Major” Taylor was an African American cyclist who was arguably the fastest rider in the United States from roughly 1897 to 1900, but due to constant attacks of racism his cycling career was shorten. During his career he won the League of American Wheelmen one-mile track cycling championship in 1899, which makes him the second African American to ever win a world championship in any sport, only trailing behind boxer George Dixon. In honor of Major Taylor’s legacy, Nike is releasing this Blazer High Premium. The sneaker features a dark obsidian and white colorway with a green bottom sole and laces as well as a red tongue tag. The Nike Blazer Premium High “Major Taylor” is now available at select Nike retailers and eBay. Click HERE to see the eBay Auctions.
