Air Max Ishod Wair SB

The Air Max Ishod Wair SB is skateboarder Ishod Wair’s latest signature shoe, expertly blending skate culture, functional design, and a touch of retro style. Integrating Air Max technology, this sneaker promises both comfort and performance, tailored to meet the demanding needs of skateboarders.

From concept to final design, Ishod Wair’s hands-on involvement is clear. The shoe takes cues from ’90s basketball footwear, reflecting Ishod’s initial passion for basketball. Built for the challenges of skateboarding, it features a new cupsole that provides the necessary durability and flexibility for skate enthusiasts.

In its design, the Air Max Ishod Wair SB showcases durable suede overlays, giving it a timeless look, while breathable mesh panels with flexible, molded plastic overlays nod to ’90s basketball shoe styles. The reverse Swoosh on the heel pays homage to the Nike Air Darwin, further tying Ishod’s love for basketball into the sneaker’s design.

The shoe prioritizes comfort with a Nike React insole made from lightweight, yet durable foam. This insole ensures a smooth and responsive feel, enhancing the overall skateboarding experience by improving board feel.

A key feature is the skate-specific herringbone pattern on the outsole. Designed using data to strategically place grip where it’s needed most, it significantly reduces break-in time and maximizes the potential for skate days.

In essence, the Air Max Ishod Wair SB is more than just a skateboarding shoe. It’s a seamless amalgamation of vintage basketball influences and modern skateboarding requirements.
