Last month Nike showed off a ton of new footwear during the Olympic preview event in Paris. Among the new wares was the SB PS8, a technology-forward skate shoe that will debut this Summer with a limited-edition color scheme.
With the inclusion of skateboarding in the Olympics in 2020, Nike’s SB division has risen to new heights in their offerings, ramping up performance-based silhouettes over the last few years. In April, they showed off the Problem Solver sneaker, AKA the PS8, a new model jam-packed with the best tech Nike has to offer for performing at the highest level. This week, we got our first look at a special pair of the new shoe in an “Olympic” color scheme for this year’s Games in Paris. The shoe sports a white Flyknit base for the upper, adding black and white elephant print for the mudguards and heel counters. Black tongues and Swooshes darken the palette, while blue and burnt orange accents complete the look.
