Many of the greats have a secondary passion they pour their competitive spirit into. LeBron James is apparently a top 100 ranked Madden player, Luka Doncic follows his teammate’s lead with an eye-popping Overwatch ranking. For another Swoosh signee on a different end of the sports world, it’s billiards.

Ishod Wair and his Nike SB Ishod 2 are paying homage to the pool hall with the shoe’s latest colorway. A frequent player in his own right, much of this multicolor variant pulls from the palette of the usual 14, utilizing patent leather on the eye-stay panel for a particularly eye-catching section. You’ll need top flip to the shoe’s interior to really see the best that it has to offer, as a pool stick cracking a cue ball into action tees up next to a set of stripes and solids spelling out “ISHOD.” Though the model has issued some standout editions with the “Silver Bullet,” “Black Grape,” or “Visty,” it is nice to see Wair’s personality shine through on his latest signature.

The Nike SB Ishod 2 “Pool” is due out for Holiday 2025, carrying a $125 retail price.
