Eric Koston signed with Nike SB nearly two years ago and we’re finally almost ready to see his first Swooshed signature sneakers hit retail. After last year’s namesake Dunk Low SB and the ‘Thai Temple’ Highs both featured an upgraded outsole compound designed by Koston himself, 2011 will be a year when the Nike SB Zoom Koston One makes its mark on the performance skateboarding market. These joints are crafted in suede as have been many of the best skate sneakers in history, but technical elements like a Zoom Air-embedded LunarLon insole and specially designed traction pattern ensure these will offer a responsive and comfy ride. And it sure doesn’t hurt to have great colorways on tap for the initial release, the Sport Red and Tourmaline edition offering a wild look that’s balanced nicely by another in black with Dark Grey accents. Click through for detailed shots of both and stick with Sneaker News for exact details on these models currently scheduled to release in June. via Kasina
