RIP Nike Zoom Tre AD.

That shoe was ahead of its time. Anyone remember the Zoom FP's? The sucessor of the Tre AD... I only saw 1 pair in the wild and it was a in a man in his late 50's. I was so hyped on that shoe at the time but they were really expensive too.

I dont have any degree or experience in footwear design, I'm sure i wouldnt stand a chance at working for Nike or any major company. I'm trying to find a smaller company to start my first steps (still waiting for Ous to get back to me), and i actually submited a new shoe design i made to this Pensole/Footlocker championship that is happening right now, could be a great way to get my work seen widely.

It's a shame that Nike hire people that dont know shit about skateboarding to design the shoes (and that they payment is that low). It's really hard to do a good job when you dont know in depth what you're dealing with. Designing skate shoes can be the hardest things for a shoe designer. Skateboarders are a extremely hard niche to pleasure. You need shoes that last a long time without being moon boots, that breathe well, that are flexible, and that perform great but look cool/casual because we are mostly broke and use them to go everywhere (we're also picky as fuck).
I know a guy form the UK that got a job at adidas and it's cool because he is in fact a skateboarder and knows his shit, so i'm sure he will make a good work there.



Designing a functional skate shoe, and designing a popular skate shoe, can be two totally different things. Nike hires plenty of people that know a lot about skateboarding. But I'm guessing the issue here with the Koston 3, is less about designing a skate shoe for skateboarders, and more about designing a skate "culture" shoe that will sell appeal to and sell to a broader audience.

And yes, I actually do miss the Zoom Tre AD and the E-cue.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I know that Nike has people that know a lot about skating, they cant be clueless about it. But sometimes it feels like they pick whatever designer they have in hands and tell him to draw skate shoes. When i go see the timeline work of Nike designers i always see something like "Nike Golf  from 2010 till 2013 - Nike Skateboarding from 2014 till now), they are always jumping ship from departments. Even if you have people saying you what you need to do is not the same as having the actual experience of skating i guess. 

Also i think this Koston 3 doesnt have what it takes to be huge success to a broader audience. It's too tech looking and too expensive. I'm looking forward to get them at some nike outlet tho!  :D

Nike SB Koston 3

Out March 1st. $150

[close]

Price is steeeeep, but you can hate all you want now, that shoe is actually a super solid skate shoe. The sock booty breathes really well, and the flick is on point.

Just wait.

What, aside from the sole unit on that looks solid? The zero padding upper? The pantyhose?


I hope Froston gets the worst sharkbite ever while skating in those.

From the picture, there doesn't seem to be anything about them that justifies that price - they seem basic as fuck aside from the sock (which will look like a sweaty foreskin when you take them off)

my guess off that pinwheel swoosh that it's a thomas campbell thing (probably too late for Chron 3 colorway)

Oh damn....I didn't know you had the samples. So I assume you don't have to wear socks with these right? Is that a warriors color way? Looks blue and not purple.

I tried them on with socks, I don't see how the sock booty will get wet, unless you sweat like Busenitz and wear shitty socks which get wet easily.

It's definitely Lakers color's it's purple in person and swoosh is gold. When you see it in person, you won't mistake for this:



Only problem is that if you do heelfips, won't the sock booty rip?

Do your pants not cover your socks? I've never ripped a sock upper skating but I have a lot of frays at the bottom stitching of my jeans.

I just don't understand the point of the sock thing. I think it was explained to me before in here, but I still don't get it.

I just don't see this shit catching on.

Yeah, you are supposed to wear socks with these, the inner sock booty is for comfort and stability. My feet felt good and secured when I was walking in them, I would imagine the inner sock will stretch out from use.

I guess they'll get frayed if you skate them wearing shorts.

It's really not a bad looking shoe and at some point I'd like to skate them. The sock thing would be covered by jeans anyway. All that said, I've never in my life paid $150 for a pair of sneakers. I'll have to wait for a sale.

To be honest, the Bostons look better in your pictures Tate. They look more "interesting" and less ugly than the previous picture.

Still, the price is too high, and I'm not feeling the side and the heel panelling, looks like it will be ripped with a couple of varial heels.

Just noticed in Tate's second pic there is no tongue in this shoe. Definitely not feeling that aspect of it.
