Nike SB Vertebrae TE Skate Shoes
Skaters searching for the Nike SB Vertebrae want to know how it rides once it is broken in, and Nike built this one to answer that directly, the Vertebrae breaks in fast and breaks down slow, creating a consistent fit straight out of the box. A Nike heritage colour palette gives this modern shoe the perfect touch of retro.
Build and Construction
- Double row stitching adds durability
- Minimal layers around the toe make for easy flicking
- Generative outsole provides greater grip and boardfeel
- Foam midsole
- Rubber outsole
Who This Shoe Is For
The Vertebrae is built for skaters who want boardfeel without sacrificing durability, the minimal toe layering is meant for flick tricks where board contact matters, while the double row stitching and rubber outsole are there to hold up to the abrasion of daily skating. The foam midsole keeps landings comfortable through a long session at the park or the street.
Breaking In and Caring for the Vertebrae
Because the Vertebrae is designed to break in fast, expect the fit to loosen and mold to your foot within the first few sessions rather than staying stiff. Brush dirt and debris off the upper and outsole after skating and let the shoes air dry away from direct heat, direct heat and repeated wet-dry cycles break down foam midsoles and rubber outsoles faster than normal wear.
