The collection draws from basketball’s enduring influence on skateboarding. The models used in the collection unites two cultures with distinct crossovers in style and function — a fact skaters themselves know well.
The collection will include the Nike SB Dunk Low, Nike SB Bruin, Nike SB Blazer as well as a Nike SB x NBA Satin Bomber and the Nike SB x NBA Hoodie.
“As a skateboarder, I’ve always looked at those early basketball shoes from an aesthetic standpoint—because the style was always cool—but also from a technological standpoint, because of the similarities in our need for impact and support,” says Koston.
