Ishod Wair's Signature Skate Shoe, Built From the Ground Up
The Nike SB Ishod PRM is the result of Ishod Wair being fully involved in every design decision from the first sketch to the final sample. Ishod's background in basketball shaped the shoe's DNA: the upper pulls visual cues from the iconic hoops silhouettes of the 1990s, while the construction underneath is engineered entirely for skateboarding. The result is a low-profile skate shoe that feels familiar the first time you lace it up and holds up long after lesser shoes would be done.
Upper Construction
The upper combines durable leather with a breathable mesh panel formed from flexible, molded rubber. The leather delivers a clean, classic look and resists the abrasion that skate sessions put on a shoe. The molded rubber mesh panel on the side references the perforated panels of 1990s basketball shoes while keeping weight down and airflow moving. A midfoot strap wraps and locks your foot in place for the kind of board control that matters on technical tricks.
The reverse Swoosh logo on the heel is a direct nod to the Nike Air Darwin, a deliberate callback to Ishod's first sport and a detail that separates the Ishod PRM from a standard SB silhouette.
Cupsole with Reduced Break-In Time
The Ishod PRM uses a cupsole construction redesigned to deliver durability without the stiffness that makes most cupsoles frustrating for the first few weeks. The design is engineered to flex where the foot flexes, which shortens break-in time significantly and lets you skate the shoe at full performance from the start. The outsole uses a skate-specific herringbone traction pattern developed from data on where skaters actually grip the board, concentrating rubber exactly where it is needed.
Nike React Insole
A removable Nike React insole sits inside each pair. React foam is lightweight and durable, returning energy with each step and providing a cushioned, responsive feel underfoot. Crucially for skating, the insole is tuned to preserve boardfeel rather than add bulk, so you maintain sensitivity through the sole while still getting impact protection during landings.
Nike SB Platform
Nike SB exists at the intersection of Nike's performance innovation and the history, creativity, and raw athleticism of skateboarding. Every material choice and construction detail in the Ishod PRM is driven by input from world-class skaters, not adapted from running or training categories. The skate-specific herringbone outsole, the cupsole flexibility tuning, and the boardfeel-preserving React insole are all outcomes of that focused development process.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes the Nike SB Ishod PRM different from other Nike SB shoes?
- The Ishod PRM is Ishod Wair's signature shoe, built with his direct input at every stage. Key differences include a redesigned cupsole engineered to flex with the foot for reduced break-in time, a midfoot strap for added lockdown, a reverse Swoosh heel detail referencing the Nike Air Darwin, and a skate-specific herringbone outsole pattern derived from performance data.
- Is the Nike SB Ishod PRM good for skating?
- Yes. The Ishod PRM is built specifically for skateboarding. The cupsole provides impact durability while the flexible construction shortens break-in time. The herringbone outsole pattern is data-driven for skate grip, the Nike React insole preserves boardfeel, and the midfoot strap keeps the foot secure during technical skating.
- What is the Nike React insole in the Ishod PRM?
- The Ishod PRM includes a removable Nike React insole made from lightweight, durable foam. React foam delivers a smooth, responsive feel and returns energy underfoot. The insole is tuned to maintain boardfeel rather than adding excessive cushion that would reduce sensitivity through the sole.
- Does the Nike SB Ishod PRM run true to size?
- Nike SB shoes generally run true to size for most skaters. If you are between sizes or have a wider foot, half-sizing up is a common approach. Use the variant picker to select your size and check the fit notes on the product page.
- What does the cupsole construction mean for the Ishod PRM?
- A cupsole wraps the midsole material up around the sides of the upper, creating a stiffer, more impact-resistant structure than a vulcanized sole. The Ishod PRM's cupsole is specifically redesigned to add flexibility where the foot bends, so you get durable protection without the extended stiff break-in period typical of traditional cupsoles.
- Where can I buy the Nike SB Ishod PRM?
- The Nike SB Ishod PRM is available in store and online at Island Water Sports. Use the variant picker to check current options.
- What is the herringbone pattern on the Ishod PRM outsole?
- The herringbone traction pattern on the Ishod PRM outsole is skate-specific, meaning the grip placement is based on data about where skaters actually make contact with the board. This puts rubber where it matters most for flip tricks, grinds, and landings, rather than using a generic athletic outsole pattern.
