Start the victory party for the Los Angeles Lakers early with the Nike SB Zoom P-Rod 2.5. This skate shoe is designed by L.A. native and skateboarding legend Paul Rodriguez. I wonder who he is rooting for in the upcoming NBA playoffs?
The Nike SB Zoom P-Rod 2.5 surprisingly pleases me. I usually have no love for Nike SBs, but I dig the coloring on these shoes. Purple and gold don't usually do it for me, but I could see myself posing in these shoes. I can't keep it real, that's just not the skateboard poseur way.
