Leo Baker, the pioneering transgender skater, has recently been honored by Nike SB with their own exclusive shoe, the React Leo. This highly anticipated footwear is slated for release later this year, featuring a limited range of attractive color options. Among these, the upcoming Nike SB React Leo “Black/White” iteration stands out.

During the creative process, Baker drew inspiration from one of their preferred skateboarding shoes, the SB Bruin High. The resulting design showcases a straightforward yet striking Black and White color palette. The Nike SB React Leo incorporates a combination of premium leather, suede, and breathable mesh materials. Notable elements include a Black foundation adorned with White Swooshes, laces, perforated toe box, and inner lining. Moreover, the shoe exhibits a distinctive “Leo” monogram pattern on the side panels and collar, while the tongue labels and insoles prominently display Leo Baker’s personal branding. To round off the overall aesthetic, a speckled White midsole harmoniously contrasts with a Gum Dark Brown rubber outsole.

For those eager to get their hands on a pair, be sure to keep an eye out for the Nike SB React Leo “Black/White” at select Nike Skate shops and Nike.com on September 25th. The retail price is set at a wallet-friendly $95 USD.
