In 2013, Nike introduced the Nike SB Eric Koston 2 as an enhanced version of the original design created by Shawn Carboy. This updated model prioritized breathability and better fit compared to its predecessor. The subsequent release showcased a sleek all-black upper, crafted with high-quality leather and suede, that was further strengthened with TPU to provide additional stability. Notable updates included the incorporation of an anatomically informed Lunarlon sockliner and zonal flex grooves, which aimed to deliver a more comfortable and natural sensation while wearing the shoe.
