Nike SB Heritage Vulc Review

The debut colorway of the Nike SB Heritage Vulc released this October in tandem with a part from Eniz Fazliov. Full of ripping footage, the part not only made me want to go skate but also try out the shoe - and so I did. The low profile design combines mixed material construction on the upper with a vulcanized sole to deliver essential skate performance.

Heritage Vulc Features

Vulcanized Construction - No break-in needed. These shoes are perfect to skate in right out of the box with amazing boardfeel. This a major plus, especially if you don't like breaking in new shoes.

Mixed Material Upper - A combination of suede and canvas creates a durable blend that is perfect for skating and adds a unique aesthetic to the shoe.

Ollie Pad - The side of the shoe features a double layer of suede right where you need it. At first, I thought this looked more gimmicky than useful. However, it functions perfectly and helps preserve the life of the shoe.

Vented Toe Box - Perforation on the top of the toe area increases ventilation and adds some extra style points to this shoe. This is a major plus in my book because my feet sweat a ton when I skate.

Grippy Outsole - This tread pattern is found on many other SB models and it gets the job done perfectly for me. It lasts the lifetime of the shoe and remains grippy throughout.
