The Kybrid S2 “Sashiko” Releases September 26th

Although not aligned with skateboarding in any way whatsoever, the upcoming Nike SB “Sashiko” pack has a surprise inclusion; the Nike Kybrid S2.

The hybridized sneaker joins part of a wider Nike SB “Sashiko” capsule — headlined by the Nike SB Dunk Low — a pack that draws inspiration from the ancient Japanese decorative embroidery that served as a necessity during widespread poverty in the Edo era. Translating to “little stabs”, the process is mimicked across the Flytrab midfoot wrap, which uses a traditional blue fabrication and its and contrast white-stitched patterns. The Swooshes, too, mimic the effect, with the heel section offering up an inverted white/sail fabrication with blue needlepoint. The light hue continues down to the heel piece, midsole, and forefoot, where it is met at the toe by a full-length mid-blue rubber outsole, and the pair is complete with a Nike SB-inspired tongue stage, suede tongues and a light tan lining kit.

The entire Nike SB Sashiko collection is set to hit retailers across Europe on July 3st/August 1st, including this Kybrid S2, though a Stateside release is yet to be confirmed.

In other Nike news, the first looks at 2020’s Nike Air Max 1 Powerwall Lemonade reissue have landed.
