Nike SB is set to make a splash this summer with the release of the Thrasin'. They are inspired by the 1986 movie also called "Thrashin". The movie was about two rival skateboard gangs that battled each other out for supremacy. The colorway of the sneakers were inspired by the the 80s poster for the movie. The actor Corey Webster is holding a skateboard with spider designs on the deck. That is where the spider panels come from. The multi-color font on the poster inspired the sole, inner lining and the gradient swoosh. These are set to release this summer.
When I first saw samples of these kicks, I was not impressed. Felt like a retro release with the colors on the swoosh. But looking over the details more, they have begun to grow on me. What I like most is not the obvious. The panels for the laces are attractive to me. Looks like granite to me. So yeah, these will be in my closet when they release.
