Comparisons have been made between Kobe Bryant and Paul Rodriguez thanks to both California natives having annual Swooshed signature sneakers. But perhaps a better match to P-Rod is LeBron James. These guys were born within a single day of one another at the end of 1984 (LeBron is a day older) and both have watched their successful sneaker lines grow into offering new colorways on three distinct models. Here’s the newest colorway from Paul’s latest model, the Nike SB Vulc Rod in Liberty Blue, Marine and Sport Red. The last color of that trio is featured on the gingham sockliner that maximizes this pair’s summertime feel and you can grab yours just in time for the summer from Flatspot.
