The Nike SB catalog is getting back to the good ol’ days. Sure, the brand still has new silhouettes like Ishod Wair’s Wair Max and the PS8, but with the recent Air Force 1 and Air Max 95 remixes plus the P-Rod 1 retro and a continued dedication to SB Dunks and Blazers, Nike’s skate label is helping to lead the mid-aughts revival. The latest addition to the throwback collection puffs up an OG with the return of the Zoom Tennis Classic XL.
Black Suede, a Skater’s Delight
Arriving alongside a matching pair in Baroque Brown suede, the Nike SB Zoom Tennis Classic XL Black is the second big body colorway from the collection, following a slim SB Tennis Classic collab from Rassvet. The suede cupsole skate shoe is a throwback to the early days of Nike SB, when the Tennis Classic XL, Blazer, and SB Dunk made up the heart of the skate label’s catalog.
