Innovative Nike SB Force 58 shoes blending vulc-like board feel with cupsole durability for versatile all-terrain skateboarding.
The Force 58 represents Nike SB's answer to skateboarding's eternal question – how to combine the immediate board feel of vulcanized construction with the durability and support of a cupsole. This hybrid design features a flexible rubber cupsole with deep flex grooves that breaks in immediately while maintaining structural integrity through Richmond's varied terrain. The distinctive diagonal pattern on the outsole delivers controlled grip when working technical ledges downtown, while the reinforced ollie area withstands the specific abrasion that flip tricks create. Its upper combines suede and canvas panels strategically placed for both durability and breathability during humid Virginia sessions, with a padded mesh tongue that enhances comfort without unnecessary bulk. The shoe's low-profile design provides unrestricted ankle mobility essential for proper flick at the Manchester spots, while maintaining enough structure to support your feet during longer Texas Beach missions. Nike's "Dot" pattern on the outsole creates the perfect balance of grip and slide when working different surfaces – from smooth concrete to crusty brick plazas throughout Richmond. The Force 58 draws inspiration from Nike's deep heritage while creating something distinctly modern – a versatile daily driver that performs across different skating styles and spot types without the break-in period often required by pure vulcs or the clunkiness sometimes associated with traditional cupsoles. For skaters seeking one shoe that handles everything from technical street lines to transition sessions, the Force 58 delivers versatile performance in a clean package.
