A true testament to Nike’s commitment to skateboarding is seen in the technology and variations of style in their line of Nike SB shoes.With a sleek, versatile, simple design overall, Nike skate shoes work well with just about every style clothing. Whether you want a classic lace up or an easygoing slip on, these shoes are designed to optimize your skateboarding skill and experience.

There are two sole construction design styles that skaters tend to stick to. The “vulcanized” style is designed to be quite flexible, and lightweight and is ideal for those who want to go out and really focus on tricks. The “cupsole” design is thicker and tends to have much more impact protection, targeted more for those who are doing harder impact tricks. However, many in the skateboarding community have both styles depending on how they plan on skating that day.
