Nike SB Vertebrae "Black Gum" Sneakers

Nike SB is set to introduce a new sneaker model called the Nike SB "Vertebrae" to its lineup in the spring of 2024. This new addition will join the ranks of popular signature models like the Nike SB Nyjah 3 and the Nike SB Leo Baker. The Vertebrae will be available in various colorways, with the "Black Gum" colorway being the first one revealed.

The design of the Nike SB Vertebrae features a predominantly black silhouette constructed from a mix of breathable mesh, leather, and suede. The shoe incorporates perforations along the vamp for added breathability. Unlike recent Nike SB models with vulcanized designs, the Vertebrae opts for a rubber cup sole for enhanced support and comfort.

The shoe features rib-cage detailing reminiscent of the mid-foot panel seen on Nike's 2002 Air Max Moto. The Swooshes on the Vertebrae are dipped in white, and white branding is stamped throughout the shoe. It is completed with a "Gum" outsole and thick rope laces.

The official release date for the Nike SB Vertebrae "Black Gum" sneaker has not been announced yet. However, it is expected to be available for purchase on Nike's webstore, Nike retail stores, and select skate shops for $85 USD in the coming months.
