Nike SB React Leo sneakers will be available in two versions: PRM (premium) and GR (general release)

The new Nike SB React Leo sneakers are designed to feature one of SB's favorite cushioning systems, the React cushioning system. The shoe has "Leo Baker" branding on the tongues, special graphic insoles, and a license plate on the lower heel atop React cushioning.

The Nike SB React Leo shoe has a similar look to one of Leo Baker's favorite SBs to ride in, the Nike SB Bruin High. The model's overlays will either be leather or nubuck, considering the prior edition. The word "Leo" will be uniquely designed on the panels of the GR version, whereas mesh is included in the premium version. The shoe will have special graphic insoles and a license plate on the lower heel.

The SB Bruin High is the first Nike sneaker designed specifically for a snug fit. It features more comfort and enhanced grip for narrower feet. It achieves a more snug fit with a new women's-specific last that features a shallower forefoot and a more tapered heel than the typical. It is built on a vulcanized sole featuring a deep herringbone tread for reliable grip and flexibility. It also has Nike Zoom Air technology for responsive cushioning.
