Borrowing from 2002's Air Max Moto, the ribcage quarter panels of the Nike SB Vertebrae Skate Shoes give this modern silhouette the perfect touch of retro. Constructed with a blend of suede, mesh, and leather, these shoes offer improved breathability with perforations on the toe box and lightweight mesh tongue. A cupsole construction with a cored out rubber outsole provides enhanced support with optimum board feel. Completed with double row stitching for added durability and subtle yet stylish branding throughout.
Cupsole - Durable and shock-absorbing to provide the best impact protection against hard landings. Cupsoles generally last longer than a vulcanized sole but don't provide as much flexibility and board feel right out of the box.
Cored Out Rubber Outsole - Interior of the rubber outsole is cored out in a honeycomb pattern for weight reduction and flexibility.
Elastic Gusseted Tongue - Lets you wear the shoe like a slip-on when laces are removed.
Lightweight Mesh Tongue - Increases breathability to keep your feet comfortable.
Perforations at Side - The perforations on the side of the shoe allows moisture and heat to escape providing a more comfortable wearing experience.
