Nike SB unveils a look at the Day One sneaker, which is the brand's first-ever skate shoe that is crafted from the 'ground up' just for kids, according to the imprint. The shoe is visually bright and captivating as it starts with a mesh base foundation to have seamless breathability.
Over this base is a soft velvet suede material and then detailed with oversized Swoosh logos. It also includes a backward logo reminiscent of the Travis Scott collaborations. Other details of the shoe include the reflective piping and a platform gum sole unit that is complete with waved grooves -- this ensures that it has impressive traction and grip. It is rounded out by lightweight foam cushioning for comfort.
