Nike SB React Leo 'Thunder Blue' — Storm Energy on a Modern Skate Silhouette
The Nike SB React Leo 'Thunder Blue' (DX4361-400) brings the dramatic, electric intensity of thunder blue to one of Nike Skateboarding's most forward-thinking and technically sophisticated skate shoe silhouettes. Bold, modern, and built with the React cushioning technology that has redefined what skate footwear can feel like underfoot, this is the SB React Leo at its most visually commanding.
Design & Colorway
The 'Thunder Blue' dresses the Nike SB React Leo in a deep, atmospheric thunder blue/black/white palette where the dominant color is a blue with real drama — deeper and more complex than a standard royal or navy, with the kind of stormy depth that its name suggests. Thunder blue carries the visual language of a sky just before a storm: dark enough to feel intense and authoritative, blue enough to retain its color identity with clarity, and atmospheric enough to feel genuinely special rather than simply dark. Black accent details on overlays, structural panels, and key design elements ground the thunder blue with the deepest shadow notes, creating a two-tone dark composition that feels cohesive and purposeful. White midsole components — housing the React foam cushioning system — provide the clean contrast that defines the shoe's profile from the side and gives the design its finishing brightness.

The SB React Leo: Nike Skateboarding's Modern Flagship
The Nike SB React Leo represents Nike Skateboarding's commitment to pushing skate footwear technology forward — a shoe that doesn't look backward to heritage skate silhouettes but instead builds a new design identity from the ground up around React foam's performance characteristics. The result is a skate shoe that feels genuinely different underfoot from anything that came before it, with the cushioning responsiveness and impact absorption that enables longer, more comfortable sessions without sacrificing the board feel that skaters require.
Thunder Blue: The Storm Colorway
The 'Thunder Blue' colorway makes the SB React Leo one of the most visually arresting releases in the model's lineup — a shoe that commands attention with the atmospheric drama of its color while wearing it with the understated cool that the best dark colorways always deliver.
