Talk about doubling down on restrained aesthetics: the Bruin, one of Nike SB’s most minimalist shoes, gets a minimalist make over. Debuting as a basketball shoe, the original Bruin has been around for more than 45 years. While it’s not the go-to shoe to shoot hoops any more, it sure made a lasting impact on skateboarding. Thanks to its clean and kinda pointy silhouette, the Bruin has become a staple of Nike Skateboarding, and has been around almost since SB’s inauguration in the early noughties. The Bruin Ultra, then, takes the shoe’s minimalism a step further: the original’s large Swoosh has been reduced to a small embroidered patch, and the stitching and suede upper are tone-in-tone. As a result, the Bruin Ultra is a perfect match for any style, any terrain, and any outfit. You can buy the Nike SB Bruin Ultra at our web shop and at our store in Frankfurt, effective immediately.
