This Tre A.D. uses the Nike Free technology. It has large flex grooves in the right places. The toe box is wrapped in an entire rubber toe cap. The Zoom air bag is inside the shoe.
The first two colorways of this Nike SB Zoom Tre A.D. are shown here.The shoes will be released in March.
The white colorway is a great looking shoe. The black and red colored accents complement the shoe. It has a combination of different textures. The tongue is mesh. The mid-section is leather with bullet holes. The heel panels are leather with corrugated texture. It has a red outsole.
