The Bottom Line

Nike SB Team Edition skateboarding shoes are the best Nike skateboarding shoes so far - even better than the famous Nike Dunks. Nike Team Editions are perfect for skateboarding, with traditional style skateboarding shoe soles and suede / action leather uppers. Nike SB Team Edition skateboarding shoes also feature Ollie / kickflip protection panels plus lower lace shields, if you want to use them. Plus, Nike Team Edition shoes have a cool, strong style all their own.

Guide Review - Nike Team Edition Skateboarding Shoes Review

With Nike Team Edition skateboarding shoes, Nike has produced its finest skate shoe yet. Simple, stylish and functional, Nike Team Editions are easy to recommend.

For features, the Nike Team Editions have everything you want in a good, high quality skateboarding shoe. Grippy sole, mesh padded tongue with stabilizer straps, suede and action leather double stitched upper (perforated for ventilation across the toes and side panels), and extra reinforcement next to the toe caps for added Ollie / kickflip protection. The laces are weak and rip fast, but the lower two laces can be tied so that they are protected by the Ollie guards. In short, Nike Team Edition skateboarding shoes have everything you want. In testing these shoes out, I found them to give a good amount of board feel, I liked how light and yet durable they were, and our testing team loved the way they looked.

Nike Team Edition shoes simply look sweet. A lot of the shoes that Nike Skateboarding has come out with have been a little weird - Nike skate shoes have been controversial since they came out, and highly inventive in style and features. With Nike Team Edition shoes, you get all the high tech wizardry Nike can offer, but with a style that anyone would like.

If you are looking for a pair of high quality skate shoes and have been nervous about trying out a pair of Nike's, now's the time. Nike Team Edition skateboarding shoes have it all - give them a shot and see what you think. I recommend them.
