React Leo | Nike SB

Discover the "React Leo", Leo Baker's pro-model for Nike SB.

For Leo Baker, having a signature shoe has great meaning. Not only is it something he's always dreamed of, now the shoe represents an even bigger victory: it's the first pro-model dedicated to a trans skater.

“Skateboarding has its roots in disobedience to dominant culture. I feel a strong connection to this concept as a queer and gender non-conforming person.”

The React Leo is a model designed with the comfort of the skateboarder in mind, without sacrificing aesthetics. The structure, inspired by a basketball shoe, is reinforced at the contact points with the board, while the Nike React sole perfectly cushions impacts. A pattern that says "Leo" surrounds the Swoosh without drawing too much attention.
