The Nike SB Zoom Koston 1 featured a hidden Lunar insole embedded inside the shoe, but this funky version of the Nike SB P-Rod V proudly features the Lunar running cushioning footbed. It’s a simple sole-swap of the P-Rod V, with the upper slightly modded to fit the voluptuous and curvy shape of the Lunar outsole, and according to DJ Clark Kent, who graced us with this picture, these are expected to release as a Hyperstrike. Check out the extra image below and let us know what you think of this Lunar-laden P-Rod V shoe. We’ll be sure to keep you posted on additional release info as it emerges.

We’ve compared Paul Rodriguez Jr. to fellow LA sports star Kobe Bryant and even loosely to His Airness, Michael Jordan, but would you believe he might be even more similar to the Mozilla Firefox web browser?

But instead of spinning while you wait for that eBay auction you’ve been watching to refresh, the Nike SB P-Rod V is made with LunarLon soles to provide one of the lightest and most comfortable rides in the history of skateboarding sneakers. Click through to see more of this chocolate brown suede P-Rod 5 and stick with Sneaker News for more previews and release dates.
