This creative twist on the original Ishod design features updated mesh on the upper, exposed Nike Air (with Max Air technology) on the midsole, and a cupsole that breaks in easily. Additional details include “Ishod” debossed on the hidden eyestays, with “Wair” embroidered on top, and a herringbone pattern on the outsole grips your board just right.

Each option is expected to feature a canvas base decorated with co-branding on the tongue labels and insoles along with Supreme labels on the lateral side.
