Nike SB Drops the Gato in "University Red/White-Gum"
Resembling the Supreme collaboration back in 2018.
Back in 2018, Supreme collaborated with Beaverton to create a collection of Supreme x Nike SB Gato silhouettes in multiple colorways, all of which proved to be a refreshing take on the indoor soccer silhouette. For those who missed the collaboration or didn’t manage to purchase them, fret not — Nike SB has just released its football-meets-skateboard model in a “University Red/White-Gum” colorway which is largely reminiscent of the red Supreme pair.
The upper is built almost entirely of “University Red” mesh with leather panelling across the whole shoe sans collar, while the toe caps add in a hint of suede for a more varied textured look. Adorning the predominantly monotone upper are white Swooshes, a tongue tag, and Nike branding by the heel, giving a clean splash of contrast. The upper then sits on a white cushion-foam midsole wrapped in a gum-rubber outsole, finished with a geometric hexagonal tread.
The Nike SB Gato “University Red/White-Gum” is now available at select skate shops and retailers such as Premier at a price of $85 USD.
