Nike SB has long been known for their innovative and cutting-edge designs when it comes to skateboarding shoes. The latest addition to their lineup, the Nike SB Vertebrae, is no exception. This shoe is specifically designed for vert skaters, with features that cater to the unique demands of skating in a vertical ramp setting. One of the standout features of the Nike SB Vertebrae is its lightweight construction. The shoe is crafted from a combination of durable materials that provide support and protection without adding unnecessary bulk. This makes it easier for skaters to execute complex tricks and maneuvers while maintaining a high level of control and precision.

It's not surprising that we're seeing Nike making use of the Lakers' brand. The Lebron 8 is getting a paintjob with the iconic purple and yellow colors. It's another championship after 10 years, with new players and management, which makes Lebron's shoes iconic in itself. The celebratory 2020 championship kicks.
The last super star player to don the purple and yellow was Kobe, the Laker legend and soon to be hall of famer next year. He sold "shipments" of yellow and purple shoes during his 20 years in Lakers uniform, much more than any of his team mates.

Well university gold colors the tongue along with a big Nike swoosh on the laterals. The air max units are clearly seen with the same color, complimenting the purple under soles.
The Lebron James 8 Retro "Lakers" will launch sometime in December as no official date has been given.
