Nike Skateboarding honors Grant Taylor with their latest 'Support Your Local Skateshop' release.

Known as the 'Stratosphere' edition, this Nike SB Blazer Low GT comes in a cinnabar, black and bamboo colorway. The shoe is inspired by Grant Taylor's family skate shop, located in Atlanta, Ga., and features a cinnabar-based red suede upper, representing Georgia's red clay. Other details include a premium leather 'GT' tongue label, the state's outline on the back heel tab, and a detailed street map of the shop’s local Little 5-Points neighborhood printed on the insoles. Finishing this pair off is a black leather Swoosh on the sides, a white vulcanized sole and a grippy light gum herringbone outsole.

The 'Stratosphere' Blazer Low GT hits nike.com as well as select Nike SB retailers on Friday, Jan. 23.
