Nike SB

Nike SB: Footwear and More – The Legend Grows!

Nike SB entered the skate shoe market in 2002 and is now worn by pros and skateboarders worldwide like no other brand. Classic models such as the Nike SB Blazer and the Nike SB Dunk—in both low and high versions—have been redesigned for the Nike Skateboarding collection.

A softer sole, better cushioning thanks to Zoom Air Cushioning, and subtle visual refinements delight skateboarders and sneakerheads alike.

The History of Nike SB

The historical context couldn’t have been better: In the late ’80s and early ’90s, a large portion of skateboarders had discovered classic Nike shoe models like the Blazer, the Dunk, and the Jordan 1 for themselves. The connection between Nike and skateboarding had thus long been established. Nike SB shoes are the company—founded in 1972—’s compelling response to the scene’s demand for authentic skate sneakers featuring the Swoosh.

But Nike SB supports the skateboarding scene in more ways than just through its products. For example, the US company completely renovated the Skatehalle Berlin, which now operates as the Nike SB Shelter. Nike SB is also active as the main sponsor of the largest professional skateboarding event, the Street League, where the world’s 25 best pro skaters compete . In the U.S., this spectacle is even broadcast on television.

Nike SB’s Most Successful Shoes

The success story of the regularly released, limited-edition colorways is set to be surpassed by the addition of various signature designs for Eric Koston, Paul Rodriguez, and Stefan Janoski. The various models of the Nike SB Koston and the Nike SB P-Rod, as well as the hugely successful Nike SB Stefan Janoski—which you can read more about in the next paragraph—are the key new flagship products of Nike’s skateboarding division.

In addition, exclusive collaborations with legendary skateboarders like Gino Iannucci, Brian Anderson, and Lance Mountain are sure to delight even those who were already out on the streets with the Swoosh on their feet during the Golden Era of skateboarding.

A Modern Classic: The Nike SB Stefan Janoski

The Stefan Janoski Pro shoe stands out in particular in the Nike SB lineup. It’s already something of a modern classic, even though it was first released in 2009. Since then, the Nike SB Janoski has been released in many different versions.

Whether with a vulcanized sole in the Zoom Edition, a Nike SB Lunar Cupsole, the extra-reinforced Nike SB Premium SE variant, or various upper materials like the Stefan Janoski Canvas or the leather Stefan Janoski L—there are no limits to the design and material options!

Nike scored another hit with the Stefan Janoski Max, which—as the name suggests—is a blend of the Stefan Janoski and the popular Air Max sneaker.

Perfect for everyday wear and for after a skate session, this comfortable and lightweight shoe quickly became a bestseller. These days, Stefan Janoski is almost mentioned in the same breath as Chuck Taylor when it comes to the popularity of his shoes. But only almost.

Nike SB and Its Technological Edge

When designing all Nike skate shoes, the designers have a wealth of resources at their disposal and can draw on the latest technologies from the headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon. As a result, many of the new models are already equipped with Nike Lunarlon technology, which ensures optimal cushioning and a great feel for the board.

Some of the T-shirts incorporate Nike Dri-FIT fabric technology, which guarantees dry fabric and maximum breathability.

In addition to shoes, the Nike SB product line also includes accessories such as backpacks and caps. You can find more skate shoes on our website at www.titus.de.
