Nike SB's Spring collection has arrived nice and early this year, and it's certainly got us in the mood for the season ahead! Some of our favourite models have been graced with bright and intriguing colourways to result in one of the best Nike SB collections we've seen for a long while. This time, though, Nike has taken things back to basics, giving the rejuvenated Check a Solarsoft modification and an understated Black/Anthracite/Black colourway.
The upper has been made using a durable suede, very short-haired and reinforced which is very ideal for a skate shoe. Nike's famed Swooshes come in the form of a dark grey leather on the lateral and medial sides of the shoe, perfectly matching the colour of the Nike SB text on the tongue and the lining. All of that sits atop a black rubber sole, which keeps things suitably toned down.
Solar in the title of the shoe refers to the Solarsoft sockliner that sits in the footbed, Nike SB's answer to the harsh impacts that are experienced when skating. Also helping with the aforementioned, whilst also providing support and stability, is the high density foam collar, which will keep your feet, ankle and lower leg area well protected. The thin web vulcanized sole provides unreal boardfeel, working in conjunction with the sockliner, and on the outsole the intricate tread pattern lets you adjust your foot placement securely, with a large pivot circle featuring at the forefoot.
We also have multiple other offerings from Nike SB, including the Janoski, Bruin Hyperfeel, Koston Hypervulc, Trainerendor, P-Rod, Zoom Oneshot, Zoom All Court CK, Dunk Low Pro and Blazer.
