Nike's Blacked-Out Skate Shoe Is Pure & Perfect

Written by Morgan Smith in Sneakers

The Nike SB Zoom Tennis Classic is a simple skate shoe with simple colorways, and that's what makes it so good.

Even in all-black, the Nike tennis-skate sneaker is a looker. It features smooth-textured uppers and a leather Swoosh, all flooded out in black. It's not much, but it's quite clean.

Since returning to the skate world this year, the Zoom Tennis Classic has appeared in some solid colorways, like the staple black/white and "Deep Pewter" options. Again, nothing crazy, just some nice straightforward color schemes.
