Double Tap to Zoom

Nike SB's navy React Leo sneaker looks very good — almost too good to scuff up at the skate parks. But hey, that's the point of the model.

Leo Baker's signature shoe is already quite luxe. Then Nike threw in this tonal navy colorway, which really elevated the model to high-fashion levels. It all works out in the end, too.

The React Leo's luxe Blazer-coded design actually comes in handy at the skate park, believe it or not. It features leather and suede uppers plus satin touches and embroidered sign-offs. The shoe also has a thick, durable rubber sole and convenient pull tabs on the heel.

It's details that not only look good but hold up well while you're perfecting your tricks. It's a win-win all-around, honestly.

And it has appeared in many good-looking colorways (as have many other Nike SB models, such as the Code 58 and the Vertebrae). But between its signature premium construction and this fine navy spin, the newest React Leo is easily the best-looking pair yet. There I said it.

Speaking of which, the navy skate shoes are now available on the brand's website for a cool $100. A blue-tiful skate shoe that doesn't break the bank? Nice one, Nike.
