At the beginning of the month we previewed some of the GR Nike SB clothing and footwear releases set for December. A large number of the pieces were from Nike SM, the Nike SB collaboration capsule collection with Skate Mental.
Along with the Dunk High Premium, 3-in-1 jacket, t-shirts and hockey jersey is the techno blue/black backpack. But there’s no need to wait for that one, it’s just dropped in the Nike SB pop-up store in London’s Slam City Skates. Based on the classic camping backpack with suede accents, the bag is pretty roomy, even with the fleecy Nike SB blanket that comes as part of the package. The price (£49.95, approx. $85) is pretty good too.
Whether this is in an indication that the whole SM line will drop earlier than expected remains to be seen.
