The Nike SB Code 58 is picking up a clean "Black Gum" colorway for Summer 2026, leaning on a formula that has worked in skate footwear for decades. Black suede, white branding, and a gum outsole are about as straightforward as it gets, but the combination holds up because it does not try to be anything it is not.
Black suede covers the toe box, forefoot overlays, eyestays, and heel, targeting the areas that take the most abuse on a board. Quarter panels and the tongue switch to ballistic mesh, adding texture and keeping the upper from reading as flat. White leather Swooshes break up the dark palette, while Nike SB branding in white lands on the tongue labels, heels, and insoles. Laces, lining, collar, and midsole all stay black to keep the look cohesive. The silhouette carries some early-2000s skate DNA through its padded tongue and layered construction, though the low cut and slimmer cupsole keep it closer to an everyday wearable than a full chunky skate shoe.
A gum outsole wraps up the build and delivers the sharpest contrast on the pair. Underneath, two circular traction zones handle grip and board feel, adding a functional element to an otherwise minimal colorway.
The Nike SB Code 58 "Black Gum" is set to release during Summer 2026 via Nike and select retailers for a retail price of $90. To stay informed on all things Nike SB and to stay up to date with the latest releases, connect with us on Instagram and Twitter.
