The Nike SB Innovation Timeline we shared with you last week chronicles the advent of new and better technologies in use for the latest generation of Swoosh skateboarding sneakers, but there’s also been a marked trend in recent years running in the opposite direction. Instead of the chunky tanks that dominated for a stretch, the default in today’s kick-push game is to borrow from classic styles ranging from the earliest tape-grippers to casual standards like boat shoes and even dressier options like wingtips. The Nike SB Team Edition 2 SE embodies this return to time-tested style, its design undoubtedly informed by the runaway success of Stefan Janoski’s SB signature. This black and Swan debut is dubbed ‘SB Chronicles’ for its tongue tag and insoles referencing the recently released Vol 1. video, and you can see these details and more after the jump before you head over to Premier to pick up a pair.
