Nike SB’s fall catalog revolves heavily around the 2024 Paris Olympics, with models like the SB Dunk Low, Janoski, Blazer Mid, and all-new Problem Solver 8 set to release in matching “Safari” makeup in honor of the event.
While all those aforementioned models should be enough to appease consumer demand, we’re now learning that some additional “Olympic Safari” footwear is en route to Paris; although these particular pairs won’t see a public release. Promo samples of the Nike SB Ishod 2 and Nyjah 3, two signature shoes claimed by two of the sub-brand’s biggest sponsored riders, have each surfaced in different “Safari” colorways in lockstep with overarching collection.
Team USA rider Nyjah Huston, who will participate in the men’s street competition in just a few days, stakes claim to two different Nyjah 3 “Safari” options. One comes with brown forefoot paneling and a grey ostrich print heel, while the other takes a different approach with a grey forefoot and black/white heel pattern. Meanwhile, even though Ishod Wair won’t be participating in this year’s competition, other riders will have their pick between two different Ishod 2 options, with those pairs reflecting the same differences discussed on Nyjah’s duo.
As mentioned, the Nyjah 3 and Ishod 2 “Olympic Safari” colorways won’t release publicly, but should be flaunted plenty by Nike SB team riders at the Paris Games in the very near future.
