The Nike SB Eric Koston 2 in black and gum brings together two much-loved combinations; suede and gum sole. These don’t disappoint and most certainly do not on this Eric Koston 2. The Lunarlon sockliner ensures comfort as you focus on getting the move right on the skateboard that is firm contact through the gum sole. The TPU-reinforced suede is in black and you need to really look to be able to see the perforations on the side.

The tongue tag lets you know that this is an Eric Koston masterpiece and has been crafted by a man who knows what skateboarders are looking for in a pair – like a gusseted tongue that lets you slip these on with ease. Take a look at the images. These should reach the shelves of your local stores pretty soon.

The Nike SB Stefan Janoski gets an interesting makeover with its suede upper colored deep navy and a contrasting insole with a lot of white spaces amid prints. Deep sea-colored rope laces and tongue tag add to the tonal effect while bright fawn metal eyelets and embroidered Swoosh provide the contrast. A herringbone pattern on the vulcanized rubber outsole ensures a firm tread and contact with the skateboard.

Take a look at the images. £65.00 gets you a pair. A good one to cop for the coming fall, particularly with the contrast lining peeking out.

Ready for the winter, the Nike Air Max 90 SneakerBoot offers a midtop take on the oft altered retro runner. Cushy collar and pull tab additions cater to comfort, protection and ease of wear, while OG attributes remain intact. A Black/Dark Charcoal colorway is on trend and seasonal, balancing the dark and neutral tones over a speckled sole. This pair is available for pre-sale overseas at End, scheduled for an early November ship date.
