The Nike SB PS8 “Black Gum” blends classic skate aesthetics with the latest in SB tech. Its black suede and mesh upper delivers a mix of durability and breathability, reinforced in all the right areas to handle long sessions. Branding stays low-key, letting the timeless black-and-gum colour pairing do the talking.
A solid gum rubber outsole swaps in for the translucent unit seen on other PS8 releases, offering consistent grip on the deck and a look that’s hard to beat. Underfoot, advanced foam cushioning softens heavy landings without sacrificing board feel. The exaggerated medial sidewall nods to Nike’s running heritage, adding both stability and a distinctive silhouette.
It’s a skate shoe built for serious performance but with the versatility to slot into everyday wear. The “Black Gum” keeps things simple, letting the materials, comfort, and function speak for themselves.
