Following the release of a shoe modeled quite literally on the theme of cheesy pizza and another printed in a Starbucks theme, this new Nike SB design uses raw meat as its inspiration.
The high top athletic shoe is covered primarily in red, making the shoe look like a mound of bloody beef meat, or red marble -- depending on your interpretation. The unisex skateboarding shoe is available in other colorways as well, with black, red and white as one option and a patriotic red, white and blue as another.
However, the red and white design works well for those who are drawn to more eccentric themes, likely making the Nike SB a popular purchase among youth. The red and white pattern is complemented by matching red laces, a white Nike logo on the side and white accents on its sole.
