At eleven years old, Sky Brown became Nike’s youngest pro skateboarder. Now fifteen years old, Sky is set to release her first sneaker, the Sky Brown x Nike SB Zoom Pogo Plus. Sky Brown was born in Miyazaki, Japan, and raised in the UK. Her diverse background influences her unique skateboarding flair. Drawing from her Japanese heritage, the Sky Brown x Nike SB Zoom Pogo Plus not only showcases her skills, but also celebrates diversity in skateboarding. Sky Brown x Nike SB Zoom Pogo Plus is designed in a way that incorporates Brown’s British-Japanese heritage. Done in a Sail, Black, White, Gym Red, Court Purple, and Black color scheme, the sneaker is defined by the tumbled leather, suede, and mesh construction, that is then decorated with a floral-printed Swoosh that symbolizes growth. Other details include the co-branded tongues, Sky’s signature on the left tongue tag, and a Japanese woman on the right tongue tag. Additionally, the insoles are given beautiful artwork where one displays a portrait of a woman, and the other has Sky’s name in Japanese. Lastly, the heel tabs split her name, “Sukai,” right under the Nike branded heel tabs.
