ERIC KOSTON FOR NIKE SB

 

Alright, so now that all the Basketball-meets-Skate shoes are out of the way (see Kobe Bryant x Koston collab) it's all eyes on Eric Koston as Nike SB unveils his first pro model shoe with the Nike—13th in total? I'm pretty sure it's thirteen.

 

I was lucky enough to partake in a wear-test last week in Los Angeles where core media were treated through a overview of the shoe by the Frost himself, shown a preview of the video, attend the launch party and do a little skating around L.A. I'll be posting up a feature later in the week, but here's just a preview.

Inside the Nike Vault, Hunter and Koston unveil the limited (24) Kobe x Kostons which were sold off their facebook page.

Theotis was turning up all over the place. Got to skate a few parks including Lincoln (here), Stoner (with my friends Ryan Smith and Mickey Papa) and The Berrics with Eric Koston. Yeah we're homies now...

At the launch party, Steve Gonzales of Goods knabbed these for a quick photo.

And then I started to lose a little 'focus'. Stay Tuned for a fill video interview and feature with Eric Koston YOU WILL ONLY FIND HERE!
