Active x Nike SB "Drop Sneakers Not Bombs" Free-Rod

Thanks to High Snobiety we have an early look at the final shoe in Active’s “Drop Sneakers Not Bombs” project. The outcome is this P-Rod II and Nike Free hybrid or “Free-Rod” model from Nike SB. Though this same black and gold colorway was used for the P-Rod II launch series, it’s still one of the nicer colorways we’ve seen so far. It will be interesting to see how the Free sole technology translates to skateboarding. All seven Active DSNB collaborations with Lakai, Emerica, Vans, DC, DVS, eS and Nike SB will be available at Active Mailorder as of July 7th, 2007. Visit Drop Sneakers Not Bombs for the countdown.
