Tapping John McEnroe’s original Nike Challenge Court, skateboard legend and SB team rider, Gino Iannucci, has re-imagined the 1984 tennis classic in his own minimalistic riding style. Drawing inspiration from McEnroe’s unequivocal demeanor and “Rebel With A Cause” lore, Iannucci and Nike SB introduce a retooled version of the silhouette, this go designed specifically for premium street performance. A ramped up version of it’s court-side predecessor, the SB Challenge Court features a nylon mesh upper trimmed in full-grain leather, extended ankle collar and bi-level hobnail cupsole, as well as the brand’s Variable Width Lacing System and lightweight Lunarlon sockliner/midsole. Straying from the shoes original red, white and blue colorway, Iannucci’s skate-adaptated delivery comes in white and tennis green, or black on black. Retailing at $80 USD, the Nike SB Challenge Court drops August 23 at select brick & mortar locations. Below check out images of the shoe and the 1:05 promo video, as the piece journey’s through New York City, where tennis and skateboard legends come face-to-face in matching kicks.

I recently had the opportunity to shoot some water footage with Kolohe Andino for a video that celebrates his qualification to the World Tour. Being able to work with Nike and athletes like Kolohe is always inspiring and being apart of something like this inspires me even more. I want to create my own legacy… And hopefully it inspires you too!
