Matt Varga The Nike SB Ishod 2, AKA Air Max Ishod or “Wair Max,” represents one of the most inventive Nike SB formulations in recent memory. Combining classic skate construction with Air Max technology, the reception for the model has matched its high-level hardware. Now starting to become widely accessible, the model rolls on with its newest “Star Blue” edition.
Given the huge shadow that the Air Max 1 casts over the rest of the line, it’s hard not to take the cobalt suede that dominates this shoe as at least a tacit nod to that model’s debut “Royal.” Even if that isn’t the chief inspiration, the combination of soft blue and white continues to shine in this application, carrying a classic type of atmosphere in the process. In a few additional hits of contrast, grey and black meet on the outsole while the translucent Air Bubble lands somewhere towards jade.
Previous colorways have relied largely on this sort of vibrancy, be it the Nike SB Ishod 2 “Bubblegum” or more eye-catchingly, the Nike SB x Verdy Ishod 2 “Visty.” Given that pattern established in the silhouette’s young history, this pair slides in as a welcome addition to its colorful canon.
Available now at skate shops and arriving soon to Nike.com, the Nike SB Air Max Ishod “Star Blue” commands a $110 retail price. You can find a list of stockists below, kept current as new outlets add stock, with an official gallery ahead of that.
