The first Nike skate shoe designed for women

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

“I used to look up how to modify my shoes online so I could make them fit better,” says #laceybaker, #nike SB pro skateboarder. “I would put frozen plastic bags inside my shoes or spray them with water to stretch them out and make them feel like they were better molded to my feet.”

Baker’s insight is echoed in similar anecdotes — about modifying men’s skate shoes to improve fit — from female #nike SB athletes including #leticiabufoni, #sarahmeurle, and #josiemillard, as well as multiple female skate crews surveyed by #nike. Some of these adjustments are admittedly ritualistic, potentially helping to boost an athlete’s confidence, and involve tape, microwaving, and other similar actions. Yet they point to a very real need: a #skateboarding shoe built for a woman’s foot that doesn't compromise performance or require modification. This led to the development of the first #nike skate shoe designed for women: the Women’s #nikesbbruinhigh.
