After its exciting debut at the in Tokyo, the sport of skateboarding has become one of the more exciting must-see competitions at the Olympic Games. After being approved by the IOC in 2016 and making its inaugural appearance in 2021, skate looks to continue its rise in the realm of global competitive sports in Paris.
To commemorate the event, Nike SB has once again teamed up with the governing Olympics body to collaboration on a series of footwear and apparel. This first look at the SB Blazer reveals a colorway of light tan, russet brown, and teal blue, while hits of the familiar safari print appears on the heel-stripe of the shoes. Rumored to release later this year alongside this Blazer is the SB Dunk Low; images of that shoe have yet to surface, although it will likely be comprised of a similar arrangement as its fellow skate shoe.

For the 2020 Games (which were postponed to 2021 due to the global pandemic), Nike teamed up with Piet Parra to deliver a full range of footwear designs and apparel to celebrate skateboarding’s triumphant arrival. 2024 will likely see a similar if not greater push by Nike to further support the growth of the sport on a worldwide scale.
