Nike’s Runner-ish Skate Shoe Has Never Looked Better
Nike SB's PS8 sneaker just got hairy (in a good way).
The latest "Light Khaki" version of Nike's Problem Solver 8 skate shoe now appears with fuzzy suede touches, a subtle yet refreshing switch-up from its usual matte materials.
It brings out the shoe's other textures, like the Nike SB PS8's signature Flyknit underlays and leather details.
Put it all together, and you have what is probably the most textural version of the SB sneaker model to date (this shoe has already racked up its wildest take in recent months).
One of the cool things about the Nike SB PS8 skate shoe is that it doesn't look like your average skate shoe.
To be specific, the Nike SB PS8 resembles a runner more than a skate shoe, given its general shape and running-ready tech like Air Zoom in its sole.
Still, the PS8 is actually quite similar to other recent Nike skate shoes like the Vertebrae, which looks like a basketball shoe, and the Ishod 2, which is essentially a skate-able Air Max sneaker.
The second best thing about the problem-solving sneaker is its colorways.
Debuted in 2024, the Nike SB PS8 model has only seen a handful of drops, but all have been pretty solid options that play on the shoe's recognizable shape.
The streak continues with this nice "Light Khaki" version, which is now available on Nike's website for $125, alongside a couple of other solid colorways.
