The Nike SB Vertebrae is a perfect example of Swoosh skateboarding at large; relatively sleek and clean in its design, but accessible price-wise all the same. While the model’s rookie year isn’t lighting the world on fire by any means, it’s a true highlight of Beaverton’s mid-market offerings, again the case with the purple & orange outfit on tap here.

Those vibrant shades are matched by a jet black midsole and lace unit, so despite the lack of animated touches seen on other themed drops like the Air Jordan 1 Low”Black Cat” or Ja 2 “Halloween,” there’s no denying the Halloween spirit that runs through this pair. It’s a fitting choice given the rib-cage like quarter panel, making the silhouette more uniquely primed for this sort of look as opposed to your typical Nike model. The aesthetics here might be what gets you in the door, and once it does, the Vertebrae sports skate-ready tooling from its generative outsole to double stitched paneling to hold up longer.

The Nike SB Vertebrae in purple & orange drops this Fall, retailing at just $85. Check out official images just ahead.
