A slew of experiences in 2024 signalled that we have been in for a heavy dose of Nike SB intra-company collaborations, constructing on the success of the now-coveted Air Jordan 4 SB “Pine Inexperienced.” A sequel to that shoe was one factor, however that headline was shortly adopted by experiences of an Air Max 95 and Air Power 1 that includes related retooled {hardware}. The latter shoe finally “dropped” official Nike SB ties, and now essentially the most concrete replace within the plotline comes with a set of official pictures.
Certainly, the pictures under are hooked up to the precise product SKU that we and quite a few different shops reported because the “Air Power 1 Skate.” Based mostly on that data, further padding on the toe and collar ought to be the large {hardware} modifications that make the shoe befitted to that new life. It’s exhausting to see a lot of a distinction in these photographs, however maybe its a subtler/inside swap to introduce these to the skate park. At the least aesthetically, the monochromatic physique and gum sole actually carry the SB environment properly, mirroring each current product and a few of the simplistic preparations from the aughts.
We’ll assuredly get additional clarification on what to anticipate with the purported Nike Air Power 1 Skate as we draw nearer to launch. Anticipate a launch someday within the Spring shopper calendar.
