Nike - Mens SB Portmore II Ultralight Skate Shoes - Black

---

The Portmore II Ultralight is a significant step up from the original Portmore. The vulcanized shoe offers responsive flick while an injected unit sole reduces the overall weight of the shoe, making it super light. These kicks also feature a suede vamp and heel for durability, and a gusseted tongue for that snug fit.Features

Sole

Vulcanized -“Vulc” shoes are light, flexible and break in quickly. The sole consists of several layers of rubber, glued together then attached to the upper with rubber foxing tape. Vulcanized soles don’t provide as much foot protection or support as cupsoles, but they are preferred if you’re looking for good board feel in a shoe with less weight and bulk.Details

Elastic Gusseted Tongue -Lets you wear the shoe like a slip-on when laces are removed.

Herringbone Tread -The herringbone pattern is frequently used in basketball shoes for its ability to provide optimal traction on smooth surfaces.
