Nike Air Force 1 SK8 "Black Gum" IB6388-001

The Nike Air Force 1 SK8 “Black Gum” brings a fresh spin to the iconic AF1, built with skateboarders in mind. This isn’t part of Nike’s SB lineup, but it confidently steps into skate territory by blending heritage basketball design with skate-ready upgrades.

Nike crafts the upper from sleek black leather, keeping things clean and understated. White Swooshes, laces, and labels pop against the dark backdrop, giving the pair a sharp, contrast-driven look. While the silhouette stays true to the original Air Force 1, Nike has refined the inner padding, adding extra cushioning to the tongue and collar for enhanced comfort — something skaters and casual wearers alike will appreciate.

Underfoot, the shoe packs Nike’s signature encapsulated Air unit, stretching from heel to forefoot. This provides reliable shock absorption, helping protect the foot from hard impacts whether rolling through the streets or walking around all day. The gum rubber outsole doesn’t just look good; it also delivers outstanding traction across pavements and decks, with durable treads that hold up to heavy wear.

This release offers more than just another Air Force 1 colourway — it nods to the skate community while respecting the AF1 legacy. Expect fans of both worlds to eye this drop closely when it lands. Keep an eye on official Nike channels and trusted skate retailers for the launch details.
