The technical phenomenon, Shane O'Neill, finally got his own pro shoe from Nike. Heavily influenced by his love of the Janoski, Shane's shoe has a super low-profile and tons of flexibility and boardfeel. Zoom Air units in the insole give you added protection for stairs and rails, and the extended bumper on the foxing tape gives the shoe some extra durability for flipping in and out of every conceivable grind or slide. The unique lace design gives you the option to use the traditional eyestays or use the ghillie loops to prevent your laces from breaking at all.

Sole
Vulcanized - “Vulc” shoes are light, flexible and break in quickly. These don't provide as much foot protection as cupsoles, but they are preferred if you’re looking for good board feel in a shoe with less weight and bulk.
Details
Decreased Rubber in Outsole - Less rubber means less weight, and this outsole also happens to feature a skate specific tread pattern for more flexibility and traction.
Herringbone Tread - The herringbone pattern is frequently used in basketball shoes for its ability to provide optimal traction on smooth surfaces.
Zoom Air Unit in Sockliner - Nike Zoom cushioning is incredibly thin and brings the foot closer to the ground for enhanced stability, especially during quick cuts and multi-directional movements.
After impact, the tightly stretched fibers inside the pressurized air unit quickly bounce back into shape, providing a super-responsive feel and improved awareness of the surface you’re on.
One Piece Toe Box - This design offers improved durability by removing seams, each seam offers a weakness in that the threads holding together the fabric are invariably weaker than the fabric that is attached. Without the seams you're able to skate your shoes longer.
My son loves them. Comfy and got the approval in style by a very picky teenager.

Nike SB Shane Skate Shoes
You know how you get that dreaded ollie hole? Well I didn't get an ollie hole until the end. I got a tiny hole starting to form and that was it. The outsole wore out before the actual suede was any problem. In other words the side was gone and my foot was going over the side of the shoe. I thought it was a fluke as I do massive amounts of kickflips, heelflips and noseslides. So you'd think that shoe would be covered in shoe goo by then as is what happens with most of my shoes. I bought a second pair and same thing happened. I'm on my third pair at this time. I don't think I'll be skating another shoe besides the sb bruin zooms. Some people compare this to the Janoski and I think the shane is leaps and bounds ahead.
