Nike doesn’t have the same affinity for retroing skate models as it does its football and basketball shoes, but, apparently, when it finally does revive the skate shoes, it does so in style. Case in point, the shoe that helped popularize the brand, the Nike SB Paul Rodriguez Zoom Air Low, aka Nike SB P-Rod 1, releases this weekend.
Based on the virtually non-existent precedent of Nike SB retros, it’s hard to know what to expect, exactly. By all appearances though, the Nike SB P-Rod 1 retro appears to return faithful to the original. Saturday’s OG colorway boasts a white leather upper with quilting around the heel, while black contrasts on the tongue and Swoosh, and Zoom Air offers unrivaled cushioning through the midsole. This is a classic pro model if there ever were one.
Stay tuned for updates, but shops nationwide will carry the Nike SB P-Rod 1 retro on Saturday, March 14. Nike.com will stock the P-Rod pioneer beginning at 10am EDT.
