You know that Air Max 90-infused Eric Koston signature we’ve been seeing with the big X’d out name? Well, don’t worry about losing out on the AM90 flavor because that’s still totally intact, but you can also let your mind relax a bit with the far more convenient name, Nike SB Eric Koston Heritage. The name accomplishes two primary tasks: fitting more readily on a box label, and ensuring that the box of which we speak is one with ‘SB’ branding (remember that Koston’s sig was the first depicted alongside the new SB/6.0 packaging). This almost Air Max 95-like colorway joins the ‘Infrared’ edition we previewed last week; might we luck out and get a ‘Laser Blue’ or another beloved colorup as well? Click through for more, let us know which one looks better so far and stick with Sneaker News for Eric Koston Heritage SB release info. Photos: Dom DeLuca

Eric Koston proved upon the very launch of his first Nike SB signature sneaker that it could blend seamlessly with cutting edge basketball designs, and being the devoted sneakerhead that he is, Koston simply couldn’t stop there. For his latest project, Swoosh skateboarding’s mad scientist reached back into the vaults for a model that debuted a few years before he turned pro, which feels like a lifetime given how many of our readers weren’t even born then. The Nike SB Koston 1 x Air Max 90 offers a re-written trip back through history as we see the beloved ‘Infrared’ motif redone with added emphasis on suede for skating purposes. The entire shoe is still under wraps, but after seeing the custom branding on the heel and lateral badges, we’re starting to get the sense of this as a unique and lovingly crafted project. Stick with Sneaker News to view the Koston 1 x Air Max 90 in full and click through to see more in the meantime.

We’re bordering on an all-out free for all for cross campus collabos these days, with Converse Jordans and Nike Lunar basketball shoes. What’s next? The apparent answer is this Nike SB x Nike Sportswear team up that sees the relatively recent Nike SB Zoom Koston 1 infused with the staple silhouette of the Nike Air Max 90. Still no word on a release date so this teaser image from Nike SB will have to do, one that shows off the back badge in a decidedly ‘Infrared’ looking colorway. Let us know what you think in the comments below and stay tuned for more shots from this collaborative sneaker.
