After Nike debuted the Air Trainer TW II SB through a succesful collaboration with Supreme, they have continued to keep the shoe in their line. Now without the limited quantities and “Supreme” cosign the shoe is still able to stand on it’s own as it begins to develop an identity for itself within the SB lineup of models. This is the latest colorway of the shoe featuring Haze, Tweed, and even a little bit of University (Tar Heel) Blue. These Nike SB’s are also scheduled to hit Nike SB accounts in May, so be on the look out next month.
