It's been a while since we heard from the Nike SB Vertebrae, the stylish skate shoe with literal good bones. Now, it's back with a fresh 'fit for the season.

The newest Nike SB Vertebrae sneaker lands in a clean "Phantom" look, with the slender model wrapped in off-white colors and dark green splashes.

Really, it looks more like a "Pine Green" sneaker than anything else, which is fitting, considering many other good-looking skate models have worn the color scheme. That includes the skate-flavored Jordan 4 RMs.

Underneath the sharp color scheme, the Nike SB Vertebrae once again shows off its solid skate-ready body (which also looks basketball-ready). Expect all the usual fixings, from perforated suede touches to the literal rib cage decorating the midfoot.

The best part? There's no waiting till next season or later for the "Phantom" Nike SB Vertebraes. The sneakers are now available on Nike Korea's website for 109,000 won, or around $73.
