Questions answered
FAQ
Is the Nike SB Malor good for skating?
Yes, it is specifically designed for durability during extended skating sessions. The double-layered suede toebox resists grip tape abrasion, and the vulcanized outsole provides good board feel and flexibility from the first wear.
How does the Malor compare to the Nike SB Dunk Low?
The Dunk Low has more cushioning, more cultural cachet, and a higher price. The Malor offers comparable durability at half the price with a lighter, more flexible construction that some skaters prefer for technical tricks.
Is the Malor comfortable for casual wear?
Yes, the broken-in feel out of the box makes it comfortable for daily wear. The vulcanized construction is flexible and the cushioned tongue adds padding. It works as a basic casual shoe, though it lacks the visual appeal of more expensive options.
How durable is the Nike SB Malor?
Very durable for the price point. The double-layered suede and foxing tape protect the most vulnerable areas during skating. Testers report it lasting significantly longer than comparably priced skate shoes from other brands.
