NIKE SB ZOOM ERIC KOSTON ONE: SUMMER 2011

BLACK/GREY
BLUE/GOLD
RED/GREEN/WHITE
REMOVABLE LUNARLON MIDSOLE
SUPREME x NIKE SB

FALL 2011
"TIFFANY"

FINALLY.  
Since the Nike SB acquistion of Eric Koston in 2009, everyone (EVERYONE) has speculated about this shoe... it has now surfaced for release SUMMER 2011.  You will notice some of the photos show the Lunarlon insoles, this is a new development for Nike SB.   Lunarlon is lighter, bouncy-er, disperses weight more evenly than arguably any other midsole foam across all brands, and has never been featured in a SB shoe.  The Lunarlon insole will sit atop a  Nike Zoom Air unit in the heal of the shoe, providing superior impact protection while maintaining a low profile.  The first release of the Koston One will have an all suede upper, but we can only imagine what is to come.  Many are comparing this shoe to the Paul Rodriguez 2.5 and the Zoom FC Bruin.  Stay tuned for more on this shoe- and check out The Berrics for more on Eric Koston.
