Nike SB Ishod 2
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built to Skate, Inspired by Basketball History
The Nike SB Ishod 2 takes the bones of '90s basketball footwear and rebuilds them from the ground up for skateboarding. Updated mesh panels keep the upper breathable and durable under repeated board contact. Exposed Nike Air with Max Air technology sits at the heel, delivering impact absorption that holds up through long sessions without adding bulk. The result is a shoe that feels premium from the first skate.
Cupsole Construction and Board Feel
The Ishod 2 uses a cupsole engineered specifically for skateboarding flexibility. The design minimizes break-in time so the shoe moves with your foot from day one rather than fighting against it. A herringbone pattern on the outsole grips grip tape with precision, giving you the pop and board control that technical skating demands without sacrificing durability.
Signature Details
"Ishod" is debossed on the hidden eyestays and "Wair" is embroidered on top of the shoe, nodding to pro skater Ishod Wair's signature identity. The combination of suede overlays, mesh panels and a clean cupsole silhouette reflects the creative direction Nike SB and Ishod have built together.
Nike SB Performance Commitment
Nike SB is engineered for world-class athletes, uniting the performance innovation of Nike with a deep commitment to the history and raw athleticism of skateboarding. Every material choice and construction detail in the Ishod 2 is driven by direct athlete input, making it at home at the skatepark and on the street alike.
