Nike SB Ishod Shoe

Nike SB Ishod, Ishod Wair's Signature Skate Shoe

The Nike SB Ishod is the signature shoe built with Ishod Wair from start to finish, and it is the shoe most people mean when they search for Ishod Wair's Nike SB model, ask what the SB in Nike SB stands for, or look for real reviews of how it skates and holds up.

Built From '90s Basketball, Tuned for Skating

Ishod pulled elements straight from the hoops shoes he grew up on, since basketball was his first love before skating. The breathable mesh panel is made from flexible, moulded rubber that nods to that '90s basketball look, paired with a leather upper for durability. A reverse Swoosh on the heel is a direct nod to the Nike Air Darwin and to Ishod's basketball roots. Underneath, a Nike React insole is a lightweight, durable foam built for a smooth, responsive ride, and the cupsole design is meant to offer durability and flexibility while cutting down break in time. A midfoot strap adds a supportive, locked in feel while you skate, and the sole uses a skate specific herringbone pattern that puts grip where you need it most.

Who Skates in This Shoe

This is a technical skate shoe for riders who want a supportive, cupsole build under their foot rather than a soft vulcanized feel, useful for street and skatepark sessions around South Florida where grip and board feel matter on ledges, rails, and transition. The midfoot strap and React cushioning are aimed at skaters logging real hours on the board, not just wearing the shoe casually.

Break In and Care

The cupsole construction is specifically designed to reduce break in time compared to older cupsole shoes, so expect it to feel supportive sooner rather than needing weeks to soften. Brush grip tape debris off the mesh and leather panels after sessions and let the shoe air dry if it gets wet to protect the React foam midsole and the herringbone grip pattern underfoot.

Nike SB Background
