Chuck Treese x Nike SB "McRad" Dunk

Nike SB is getting into the mix of using Black History Month as inspiration to create great bodies of art in the form of footwear. This shoe, the "McRad", was created to pay homage to Chuck Treese. Chuck Treese was the first black skateboarder to be featured on the cover of "Thrasher" Magazine. The shoe features a white, black, red, and green upper using various mixes of premium leather and suede. The abbreviation "84" is also imprinted on the side of the shoe in commemoration to the year of 1984, when Treese made the cover. These are set to drop some time in February at select Nike Skateboarding retailers as a Quick Strike. Since they'll be a QS, you should keep your eyes and ears peeled for them.
