Nike SB Dunks have been very popular over the past year or so, with several collaborations like Futura, Born x Raised, and April Skateboards blending skate culture and streetwear. However, as the 2024 Olympics approach, Nike has shifted its focus to the performance aspect of skateboarding, introducing the Nike SB PS8.
The Nike SB PS8 represents a step forward for skate shoes. It is named the "Problem Solver 8" as it aims to address eight common issues found in skate shoes and previous Nike SB products. Designed in collaboration with Nike's Sport Research Lab, the shoe is built to better withstand the impact of tricks and improve the feel and connection with the skateboard underfoot. It features a Flightknit upper for a lightweight and breathable fit, as well as leather panels in high-stress areas to enhance durability.
The Nike SB PS8 "Paris Olympics" colorway is part of a wider Paris-themed SB pack that also includes a Janoski and SB Dunk. This Safari-inspired iteration features a combination of orange and blue accents, with the orange appearing on the sock liner and outsole, and the blue on the laces and midsole. The leather panels showcase a familiar spotted pattern, while the upper itself remains in a neutral "Sail" tone.
The release date for the Nike SB PS8 "Paris Olympics" is still forthcoming, but more information is expected to be shared soon. TBA.
