Omar Salazar’s unconventional personality was replicated nicely in his first Nike SB signature sneaker, a mix of subtle clean styling and space age technology, so it seems only right that the first significant revision beyond the NFW releases takes the Salazar both forward and backward simultaneously.  From the looks of the Nike SB Omar Salazar 1.5, these Flywire-free joints have been pushed to the casual side with a vulcanized sole, but the notoriously unforgiving classic look belies a LunarLon insole that ensures your comfort on even the biggest gaps.  In a year when Nike SB has looked to its past for inspiration when it comes to colorways, they are flat out killing it in terms of new tech, and you can see more of these Omar Salazar 1.5s set to release next spring when you click the jump below.  via N-SB

Plenty of classic sneakers have been given the autoclaved twist and in the case of Paul Rodriguez’ Nike SB signature line, the vulcanized sole has been added for those who desire increased boardfeel (and don’t mind the occasional heel bruise).  Following in the footsteps of the P-Rod 2.5 and V-Rod is this new Nike SB Omar Salazar 1.5, an NFW model whose see-thru Zoom Air-equipped bottoms have been replaced by something closer to the Blazer.  This new colorway is crafted in tumbled leather and suede, a grey base with purple and red accents that comes off looking something like the Nike SB Dunk ‘Plum’ that’s on the way in a hightop cut later this year.  There’s no info anywhere on the Plum drop but these Omar Salazar 1.5s are slated for a Q4 release so click through for more and stick with Sneaker News for updates on these and all Nike SB release dates.  via N-SB
