Product Information
Full details
The Nike SB PS8 'Black Clear' trainers in UK size 6 are designed for adult male skateboarders seeking durability and a distinct style. Their key benefit lies in rugged construction suitable for street skating, with a unique clear sole offering a stylistic edge. A potential caveat is that the clear sole may show wear more visibly over time. This model features a blend of textured leather and mesh, a monochrome black upper with contrasting clear sole elements, and branding that pays homage to Nike SB pioneer Sandy Bodecker.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Nike SB PS8 trainers are water-resistant due to their leather construction but are not fully waterproof. The mesh panels may allow water to penetrate.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a snug fit without being too tight. Your heel should feel secure, and your toes should have a little room to move but not slide around excessively when kicking or landing.
What does 'PS8' stand for?
'PS8' is derived from the alias 'Problem Solver 8', which was used by Sandy Bodecker, an original member of the Nike SB launch team.
How durable is the clear sole?
The clear sole is constructed for skateboarding durability, featuring materials designed to withstand abrasion. However, like any clear material, it may show scuffs and wear marks more visibly than opaque rubber over time.
Can these be worn for casual everyday use?
Yes, the Nike SB PS8 trainers offer a comfortable fit and stylish design that makes them suitable for casual everyday wear in addition to skateboarding.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of textured leather on high-impact areas and breathable mesh.
Troubleshooting
Laces wear out quickly
Replace laces with skate-specific durable laces, often made of polyester or similar materials designed to resist abrasion.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the sole is clean and free of debris. Some surfaces may inherently offer less grip; consider using the shoes in conditions suited to their traction pattern.
Mesh panels get dirty easily
Clean mesh panels gently with a soft brush and mild soap. Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray designed for footwear after cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Nike SB PS8 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they are laced to your preferred tightness for optimal fit and support.
Compatibility: These trainers are specifically designed for skateboarding. While they offer comfortable casual wear, their construction is optimized for board feel and durability related to skating.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the leather and mesh components, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.
- Cleaning the Sole: The clear sole can be wiped down with a damp cloth. Stubborn dirt or scuff marks may require a slightly stiffer brush. Be mindful that repeated aggressive cleaning might affect the clarity over time.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or original box, to maintain their shape and condition.
