The Nike SB React Leo Draws Inspiration From the Bruin High

With skateboarding silhouettes more popular than ever in the sneaker scene, could the Nike SB React Leo be the next model to catch the attention of the masses? Later this year, Nike will debut Leo Baker's signature pro model, bearing similarities to a skate favourite.

Inspired by Leo Baker's favourite skate shoe, the SB Bruin High, the Nike SB React Leo receives some of the shoe's integral DNA, reinterpreting things for a fresh appearance. In terms of colourway, this first iteration arrives with a clean "Black/White" makeup, with the exception of gold lace eyelets. Leather uppers are decorated with premium suede overlays, delivering a reinforced construction ideal for skateboarding.

On the lateral and medial walls, Nike's signature Swoosh is featured in a black hue, backed up by a Leo Baker and Nike Skateboarding on the tongue label and insoles. For those looking to get their hands on the Nike SB React Leo, you might have to wait a little while, as they're not expected to drop until some time in autumn.
