| Welcome to Outer Space: Nike Zoom Omar Salazar SB | 3.10.2010 |
This month sees the introduction of a pro model shoe to the Nike SB lineup, the Nike Zoom Omar Salazar SB. Now if you've seen any of Omar's video parts especially his most recent in Alien Workshop's Mind Field, you know he is well deserving of this distinction. This new shoe incorporates Nike's FlyWire technology in the heel and side panel to make for a much lighter weight and stable skate shoe. This shoe also features Nike's largest Zoom Air Cushion recessed in the sole for extra comfort and protection from heel bruises. The shoe also sports a one piece toe-cap with TPU rubber for extra durability, as well as a zipper on the tongue so you can choose the amount of padding you want, or keep a spare set of laces! Stop by the shop and check out Omar's ad in 3-D and make sure you check out Nike's Omar Salazar mini-site for a super cool video and more!
Speaking of the new Omar Salazar shoe, about a month ago our friends over at Nike SB called up JP and invited him to the official Omar Salazar shoe launch party this past weekend in San Francisco. As fate would have it, about a week before he was to fly out there he smashed his knee real good over at the mini-ramp. He was able to meet up with old friend and Buffalo local Ben Wall, who now works for Nike SB, and designed the space ship set for the Omar ads, as well as make a bunch of new friends. While out on the excursion, he was given a full tour of DLXSF and saw trucks made right here in the U.S.A. At the demo for the shoe release, amazing skating went down from the likes of P-Rod, Brian Anderson, Daryl Angel, Ishod Wair, James Craig, and the man of the hour himself, Omar Salazar. The party for the shoe launch had a space ship photo booth and performances from the bands Earthless & Shrinebuilder. JP was even able to meet up with shop local/family member Charles Martin who is in SF for art school and share the awesome time with him. Needless to say when you see the photo of his knee, he wasn't able to skate while he was out there, but he still made the most of it and had a great time. Click below to see photos of JP's trip!!!!
