FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for casual wear?
Yes, while designed for skateboarding, the Nike SB PS8 'Olympic' also offers comfort and style for casual everyday wear.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to Nike's official sizing chart and compare it with your foot measurements. Given the specific fit of skateboarding shoes, trying them on in person or checking user reviews for sizing feedback is recommended.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper primarily features a lightweight and supportive FlyKnit material, complemented by durable leather overlays at the heel and forefoot.
What does the 'Olympic' in the name signify?
The 'Olympic' designation and speckled detailing are inspired by the 2024 Paris Olympics and pay tribute to Sandy Bodecker, a significant figure in Nike SB history.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What is the main benefit of the pylon plate?
The full-length pylon plate provides responsive cushioning to absorb impact during landings and offers a stable platform for skating.
Is the translucent outsole suitable for all terrains?
The translucent rubber outsole is designed for optimal traction on typical urban surfaces and skate park environments. Performance may vary on exceptionally slippery or wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied using a secure knot. Consider replacing standard laces with lock laces or using a double knot.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
The translucent rubber outsole is optimized for dry conditions. For wet surfaces, exercise caution as grip may be diminished. Clean the outsole regularly to remove debris that can affect traction.
FlyKnit upper feels too snug
Loosen the laces, particularly around the midfoot and ankle, to create more volume. Wear thicker socks if a tighter feel is desired.
Leather overlays show scuffs
Minor scuffs on leather can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, consider a leather conditioner suitable for athletic footwear, testing in an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These shoes are designed primarily for skateboarding. The outsole provides grip suitable for urban environments and skate parks. They are compatible with most skateboard deck griptapes.
Care: To maintain the condition of your Nike SB PS8 'Olympic' shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather overlays and FlyKnit upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the color and material integrity.
