Nyjah Huston has remained relatively quiet since his appearance at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, but he’s recently returning to sneaker-related headlines as a first-look at his Nike SB Nyjah 3 has emerged.

To start, the silhouette’s name no longer features “Free” in the name. And when looking at the sneaker’s sole unit, it becomes obvious why: Nike Free technology has been abandoned in favor of a cushioning and traction solution reminiscent of more robust running options from the Swoosh’s expansive catalog. The upper replaces design cues from the Air Spiridon with what appears to be a layered setup from toe to mid-foot rooted in the Nike Zvezdochka or woven Nike blueprint, whereas the heel area sees similarities to the Air Presto. The pair’s shape falls in line with its predecessors, while Huston’s third signature model with Nike SB houses Zoom Air technology that couples with Lunarlon-reminiscent foam for a responsive and safe ride.

Enjoy official images of what’s expected to be the silhouette’s debut style ahead, as you wait for a Nike.co launch soon.
