Nike SB Vertebrae

I love the look and style of this sneaker, very pleased.

The tongue on these is a lot bigger and thicker than I thought by looking at the pictures before I bought them and they’re a little stiff and rigid, but otherwise pretty good. I did, however notice on arrival when I opened the box along the sides of the soul all the way around on both shoes had some white Drews id that I thought might be normal from the factory, so I tried using some cleaning wipes to scrub it off and it’s still cloudy so I’m not happy with that and probably gonna ask for an exchange.

These are great kicks. They have great grip, nicely designed, stylish but not over the top or loud. They do run on the narrow side. I sized up 1/2 size from my usual Nike size of 8 which resulted in a slightly tight width and a tad longer shoe than what I’m used to. Hopefully with use, they will loosen up. A tight width makes these just south of a perfect, classic shoe and rating. I hope Nike fixes the shortcoming.
