Nike SB P-Rod 1 “Bred” Releases September 2025

Back in 2005, Paul Rodriguez dropped his first Nike SB signature shoe. Fast forward 20 years, and the Nike SB P-Rod 1 “Bred” is back to celebrate that milestone.

The familiar black, grey, and red color scheme returns in full effect. Red suede Swooshes cut through charcoal side panels, while black suede layers add contrast across the toe and heel. Quilted embroidery on the rear and the “PR” logo complete the signature look.

A crisp white midsole houses Zoom Air cushioning for a smooth ride, and the red/black outsole holds down both grip and style. Whether you’re skating in them or stashing them in the vault, the comfort still holds up.

This shoe helped shape the early years of Nike SB. It introduced a new wave of performance and personality to skate footwear. Two decades later, it still feels fresh—maybe even more meaningful now.

The Nike SB P-Rod 1 “Bred” will release on September 13, 2025 at select skate shops and Nike.com. Retail price is set at $125 USD.

Limosine Skateboards x Nike SB Dunk Low Releases September 2025

Limosine Skateboards is stepping into the sneaker game with a bold twist on a classic. Their first Nike SB Dunk Low collaboration takes a sharp detour from the expected, opting for football inspiration instead of basketball roots.

A truly eye-catching detail is the white lace design stretching from the toe box to the tongue—replicating the lacing found on actual footballs. The leather tongue tag carries the Nike SB branding, while black mesh liners add contrast and comfort.

The Swoosh branding comes in a screen-printed black and gray style, complementing the sporty look. The heel also features Limosine’s logo in the same print style, tying together the theme-driven design.

This collaboration reflects Limosine’s creative edge and commitment to disrupting tradition. The mix of sport and skate culture makes this a standout in the 2025 Nike SB lineup.

Nike Kobe 3 Protro “Halo” (2025) First Look

Nike will celebrate Kobe Bryant’s legacy this summer with the Kobe 3 Protro “Halo”, dropping August 23, 2025—on what would’ve been his 47th birthday. That annual date now holds a deeper meaning for fans and athletes around the world.

The shoe keeps its signature web-like molded upper, now dipped entirely in white. This “Halo” edition also introduces modern performance updates, like a full-length Zoom Strobel unit and Cushlon 3.0 midsole for a softer, more responsive feel.

Additional traction blades on the outsole boost grip, while the upper uses a more breathable mesh package. Even the packaging booklet details these subtle yet significant upgrades made for today’s game.

This is the first time the Kobe 3 has been retroed since 2016’s “Fade to Black” series. For collectors and longtime fans, that alone makes this pair special. For hoopers, it’s a reminder that Kobe’s spirit still lives on through performance.

The clean all-white colorway gives off that classic Kobe vibe—quiet but fierce. It’s a design that doesn’t need to shout to make an impact. Just like Mamba himself.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low Gets Triple White Makeover

Sometimes, less is actually more—and Nike proves it with the upcoming Air Force 1 Low “Triple White”.

This release ditches the flashy details in favor of subtle upgrades. First off, the leather’s thicker than your favorite winter jacket—meaning durability meets luxury in every step.

Now for the fun part: the back heel tab? Stripped of the usual “Nike Air” flex. Even the metallic lace dubrae lost its “AF-1” engraving. Why? Because this pair is all about going incognito—like the secret agent of sneakers.

Of course, the shape keeps it classic with a rounded silhouette that AF1 purists will love. The midsole, outsole, and that iconic Swoosh remain untouched, keeping the DNA intact while trimming the fat.

This is a no-fuss, all-style version of the timeless classic. It’s like the Air Force 1 put on a tux and said, “Let’s get sophisticated.” Perfect for daily wear or leveling up your white sneaker rotation.

Dropping in Fall 2025, the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Triple White” will be available through Nike.com and select sneaker retailers.
