The Sky Brown x Nike SB Zoom Pogo Plus 'Japanese Roots' celebrates the multicultural heritage of Sky Brown, the youngest professional skateboarder to be sponsored by Nike. This collaboration honors her British-Japanese background with a design that reflects her vibrant spirit and diverse influences.
The sneaker features a tumbled leather and suede upper in clean white and grey tones. The standout detail is the black Swoosh adorned with a delicate floral print, symbolizing growth and beauty, complemented by 3D-effect leather layers. Co-branding on the tongue includes Sky's signature and a portrait of a Japanese woman, reflecting her cultural background.
Inside, the insoles showcase vibrant artwork: one side displays a colorful portrait, while the other highlights Sky's name in Japanese characters. The heel tabs split her name, "Sukai," between the left and right shoes, adding a personal touch. The shoe is completed with a white vulcanized rubber sole for a classic finish.
The Sky Brown x Nike SB Zoom Pogo Plus will release on June 14, 2024, through Nike SB retailers and online at Nike.
