Nyjah Huston Says His Signature Nike SBs Last Longer
When Nyjah Huston jumped ship from to , we knew it was only before five-time Street League champion got his own signature model. Now, it’s finally here — and it’s a game-changer. According to him, anyways.
It’s taken a while, but Huston says plenty of R&D went into the new Nike SB Nyjah.
'The most important thing to me was immediate break-in and longevity because I like to skate my shoes for a long time,” says Nyjah. “The front had to be thin and close to the foot to give you better connection to your foot and better connection to the board. You need your shoe to feel worn in but still maintain the right flick and feel right on your board.'
The SB Nyjah makes use of a new rubber material upper, as opposed to suede. According to Nyjah, the rubber is designed to break in immediately and takes longer to rip.
'Also, it’s super comfortable. I wanted it to be something that I also love to wear all the time,' he says.
'In the past, I’d have a certain skate shoe and then I’d put on, like, a chill shoe after. I would skate the Vapor then wear when I was chillin’. I wanted this to be both.'
That’s a lot of promise, but after seeing , we’re keen to lace these up for a kick-push ourselves.
