Nike SB Zoom Salazar Preview

Mettie — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:19:01 +0000

Here’s the first look at Nike SB’s Omar Salazar signature shoe (via HypeBeast).

The Zoom Omar Salazar combines classic (read: Half Cab) styling with Nike’s Flywire technology. Sure, it’s an ape of a classic, but they still look pretty dope. Maybe Baseline and ShelfLife will order some in the blue colourway?

Edit: There’s also two Salazar signature tees due out. Designs include a portrait broken arm tee as well as a tee playing off the “outer space” theme for the sneaker, which happens to be Omar’s nickname.
