Product Information
Full details
The Nike SB PS8 Black Clear (UK 10) is a durable skateboarding sneaker designed for adult male skaters. Its key benefit is the rugged construction and the distinctive clear sole that offers both style and functionality. A potential caveat is the monochrome black upper, which may show scuffs more readily than lighter colors. This shoe features a blend of leather and mesh for a structured yet breathable feel, with branding on the tongue and heel, and a unique clear mid- and outsole with subtle blue and orange accents.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the clear sole?
The clear sole offers a unique aesthetic, allowing visibility of the internal construction and subtle color accents. It is also designed for durability and grip required for skateboarding.
What does 'PS8' stand for?
PS8 is an homage to 'Problem Solver 8,' an alias of Sandy Bodecker, who was instrumental in the founding of Nike SB.
Are these shoes suitable for beginners?
Yes, the Nike SB PS8 is designed with durability and support, making it suitable for skaters of all levels, including beginners who need robust footwear.
How should I clean the black leather parts?
Clean the black leather parts with a damp cloth or a soft brush. For tougher grime, use a mild soap solution, and always wipe clean afterwards. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the material composition of the upper?
The upper is composed of textured leather in key areas for durability and mesh underlays for breathability.
Can these shoes be used for casual wear?
Absolutely. While designed for skateboarding, their durable construction and unique style make them suitable for everyday casual wear.
What is the recommended care for the clear outsole?
The clear outsole can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Ensure it is dried properly with a soft cloth and avoid exposure to excessive heat or direct sunlight to maintain clarity.
Troubleshooting
Sole appears cloudy or discolored over time.
This can sometimes occur with clear materials exposed to sunlight or certain chemicals. Ensure proper storage away from direct UV light and avoid harsh cleaning agents.
Leather creasing or showing excessive wear.
Some creasing is normal with leather footwear, especially in high-flex areas. For excessive wear, consider using a leather conditioner specifically designed for athletic shoes to help maintain suppleness.
Laces fraying or breaking.
Replace frayed laces with new, durable skate laces. Ensure laces are tied appropriately without excessive tension to minimize wear.
