Nike SB PS8 "Obsidian" FV8493-400

The Nike SB PS8 “Obsidian” blends comfort, durability, and flexibility, designed for those who demand high performance. This model adopts a 3-pronged approach, combining innovative technology with quality materials to deliver a dependable and practical option.

The PS8 utilises a layered Flyknit construction, ensuring breathability and a secure fit. High-wear areas are reinforced with leather, adding durability while retaining comfort. This design offers a broken-in feel straight out of the box and maintains its shape over time, even after heavy use.

At the core of the PS8’s design is the updated Flyplate integrated into the sole. This feature enhances responsiveness, providing smoother transitions and reliable grip. The Flyplate works in tandem with Nike’s HART (High Abrasion Rubber Tech) outsole, which is designed to be lighter and more flexible by reducing rubber usage. This results in a shoe that feels agile yet remains robust, suited for skaters and athletes alike.

Completing the design is a streamlined low-top silhouette, influenced by Nike Running models. Combining heritage patterns with technical precision, the PS8 presents a well-rounded look suitable for daily wear and rigorous activities. The “Obsidian” colourway—featuring shades of Obsidian, Squadron Blue, Navy, and Phantom—adds a refined touch to its sturdy construction.

The Nike SB PS8 “Obsidian” is crafted for those who seek a blend of quality, comfort, and agility. From its layered Flyknit build to the advanced Flyplate and HART outsole, every component is engineered to perform session after session, making it a reliable choice for those prioritising both function and durability.
