Product Information
Full details
The Nike SB PS8 is a high-performance trainer designed for adult men who demand both technical skate functionality and versatile everyday style. Featuring a sophisticated Obsidian, Squadron Blue, and Phantom colorway, these shoes provide the durability necessary for intense skate sessions alongside the comfort required for daily wear. While they excel in board feel and structural integrity, users should note that the specialized SB build prioritizes performance stiffness, which may require a short break-in period for optimal comfort.

FAQs
Is the Nike SB PS8 suitable for running?
These shoes are specifically designed for skateboarding and lifestyle wear. They lack the high-impact cushioning and stability required for long-distance running.
How does the sizing compare to standard Nike trainers?
The Nike SB PS8 generally follows standard Nike sizing, but because of the reinforced skate-specific construction, some users prefer a slightly roomier fit.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is highly recommended to avoid machine washing as it can damage the specialized materials and the adhesive construction of the shoe.
What does the Obsidian and Phantom colorway look like?
Obsidian is a very deep, dark navy blue, while the Phantom accent offers a muted, off-white or light grey contrast.
Are these shoes durable for daily skating?
Yes, the SB PS8 is engineered for the rigors of skateboarding and features materials chosen for their resilience against grip tape friction.
Does this model come with extra laces?
Please check your original packaging; while many Nike SB models include secondary laces, specific inclusions can vary by production run.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during initial wear
Wear them for short intervals to allow the materials to stretch and conform to your foot shape naturally.
Loss of grip on the outsole
Wipe the rubber outsole with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust and wax buildup from the skate surface.
Visible scuff marks on the upper
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a suede-safe cleaner depending on the material texture to gently buff out surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike SB PS8s last, keep them dry and avoid heavy saturation in mud or deep water. If the shoes become dirty, gently brush away loose debris with a soft-bristled brush. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the adhesive bonds and material flexibility. For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate athletic socks, as the shoe is designed to have a snug, performance-oriented fit. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
