Unless you’ve been living on Mars, you probably know the 20-Year Anniversary Nike SB P-Rod 1 is once again returning to skateshop shoe walls—and it’s looking just as good 20 years later (if not a little better).

I’ve said it before, and I’ll probably say it again, but it’s actually pretty wild to think it’s been two full decades since Paul Rodriguez’s first signature Nike SB dropped. Time really does fly, and the nostalgia is heavy with this reissue.

In case you don’t have time to watch the video, Southside added some details in the description as well.
Upper Material: Both versions utilize premium full-grain leather, ensuring durability and a classic look.
Color Scheme: The 2025 reissue stays true to the original’s white and black palette, with the addition of clear and platinum accents for a refreshed appearance. Maintains the puffy tongue and Zoom Air cushioning for authentic skate performance
Outsole: The original features a solid rubber outsole, while the reissue introduces a translucent rubber outsole, adding a contemporary flair.
Branding Details: The 2025 version includes platinum accents and special anniversary branding elements, distinguishing it from the minimalist original.

Well, again, the shoe is set to hit the skateboarding world on May 16 at skateshops and I’m sure it’ll be available online. Don’t expect these to last long, though! Hit your local and get the scoop. And major shoutout to Southside for the review and all the info.
