Nike SB Mixes the Cultures of Skate and Basketball for a NBA-Themed Capsule

Just in time for the start of the new NBA season, which is already in promo mode thanks to Travis Scott and other notable basketball fans, Nike SB is showing us that skaters and ballers have way more in common than we think.



The upcoming Nike SB x NBA collaboration features some of the greatest athletes to pick up a skate deck, including pros Eric Koston and Paul Rodriguez (seen above). Included in this set are some classic sportswear items, like a super clean satin bomber jacket and hoodies that both incorporate NBA’s signature white silhouette dribbling logo. There’s also some footwear options included as well, with the Bruin, Blazer and ever-loved Dunk arriving in a triple play of cool colorways. Just imagine how dope it would be if we got a full campaign with LeBron, Carmelo and Westbrook hitting the half-pipe — now that would be lit!

Expect the NBA x Nike SB collection to drop starting October 13 at Nike.com, followed by the Nike Bruin and matching hoodie arrival on December 1. See P-Prod, Koston and the rest of the crew hitting the streets in the lookbook below:
