SB Skate or Die derives its inspiration and colors from the 1987 Skate or Die video game artwork. The game featured two ramp events, the freestyle ramp and the high jump, two downhill events, the downhill race (in a park setting) and the downhill jam (in a street setting), and the pool joust. Nike SB Skate or Die features swirls, shapes and colors extracted from the actual cover of the video game case. Nike SB Skate or Die For Sale feature leather on the toe box and the side panel surrounded by vibrant aqua blue suede finished with a neon yellow swoosh.
