Featuring signature Nike footwear technologies that enhance boardfeel, impact protection and all-day cushioning, Nike skate shoes possess the characteristics you need to feel confident and comfortable on your board from sunup to sundown.

Elements That Create the Best Skate Shoes

Boardfeel: How close the deck feels underfoot makes or breaks a skate shoe.

Grip: Modified Nike herringbone outsole patterns help provide reliable traction.

Durability: Skate shoes need to be able to take a beating, especially the outsole, without adding too much distance between the foot and the board.

Comfort and Ventilation: With zoned cushioning and perforated side and top ventilation, Nike skate shoes provide the breathability you need.

Support: Reinforced sock liners combined with canvas, leather and suede uppers create support for the most demanding sessions.

Fit: Nike skate shoes are designed to give a locked-in feel at the heel and midfoot, with enough room in the toe box for elevated boardfeel and control.

Skate Shoe Components

Outsole: Vulcanized rubber outsoles capitalize on flexible, gummy construction that brings you closer to the board, enhancing overall feel and stability.

Upper: Premium leather, canvas and suede uppers help prevent blowouts and create skate shoes built to last.

Skate Shoe Styles

High-Top Skate Shoes: For added security, high-top skate shoes help reinforce ankle support while providing a classic and versatile style that looks good on and off the board.

Mid-Top Skate Shoes: Durable mid-top construction provides added support without sacrificing too much flexibility.

Low-Top Skate Shoes: For the most lightweight and flexible construction, low-top skate shoes provide the mobility needed to land the most difficult tricks.
