Matt Varga Amid a slew of new silhouettes and colorways brought on by the Paris Olympics, the dawn of the Nike SB PS8 is perhaps the most notable. Genuinely representing the “latest & greatest” out of the skateboarding subdivision, the model has surged out to a very warm reception, marking sell-outs in most of its releases so far. Will it accomplish the same with the just unveiled “Obsidian” edition?
Many of the “must-have” aspects from the wider skate shoe market remain on the PS8, from the rubber cupsole to the increased cushioning and structure at high-friction areas. What sets it apart from its peers isis the full injection of tech; a Flyknit body makes for a lighter shoe, a Flyplate sole adds responsiveness and a High Abrasion Rubber Tech (HART) outsole maintains flexibility without sacrificing grip. Of course, any shoe has to blend functionality and aesthetics, and the “Obsidian” look here taps into a reliable aquatic palette to achieve that.
The addition of the model comes during a particularly prolific era of Nike SB. On top of the enduring relevance of the SB Dunk nike mercurial superfly 360 naija price today show Janoski, signature shoes for Leo Baker and Ishod Wair line the shelves alongside in-line propositions like the Vertebrae.
Expect the Nike SB PS8 “Obsidian” to release this Holiday season, retailing at $110.
