This is the first Nike Skatebarding signature model for pro rider Eric Koston. On appearance, you can immediately tell there is a difference between it and its counterparts. The vulcanized cup sole and TPU reinforce suede upper gave it away, but the truly unique aspect is its Nike Lunarlon insert. There is nothing new to incorporate foam-base cushioning into sneakers. It is something new, however, when that sneaker is for skateboarding.
