Nike SB React Leo 'Black/Gum'
Nike SB React Leo 'Black/Gum' — The Essential Skate Colorway on a Next-Gen Platform
The Nike SB React Leo 'Black/Gum' (DX4361-005) delivers the most timeless and universally beloved colorway in skate footwear history — black and gum — on Nike Skateboarding's most technically advanced and forward-thinking skate shoe platform. Clean, purposeful, and deeply rooted in skate culture's aesthetic tradition, this is the React Leo at its most essential.
Design & Colorway
The 'Black/Gum' dresses the Nike SB React Leo in the definitive skate colorway — a black/black/gum light brown/white palette that pairs an all-black upper with the warm, translucent honey tone of a gum rubber outsole in the combination that has defined skate footwear since the sport's earliest days. The all-black upper is clean, purposeful, and stealthy — premium materials across the React Leo's modern skate construction, with reinforced toe cap, padded collar, and the durable build quality that serious skating demands, all rendered in the colorway that never goes out of style and pairs with every outfit in a skater's wardrobe. The gum outsole is the composition's defining element: the warm, translucent brown that brings organic warmth to the all-black upper and delivers the sticky rubber grip that has made gum outsoles a skate standard across every decade of the sport's history. White React midsole details provide the clean separation between upper and outsole that completes the composition with airy precision.

Black and Gum: The Original Skate Colorway
Black and gum is not just a colorway — it's a statement of skate authenticity. The combination has appeared on virtually every significant skate shoe silhouette across every decade of the sport's history, from Vans to Airwalk to Nike SB, because it works: the black keeps the shoe looking clean session after session, and the gum outsole provides both the grip and the visual warmth that makes the colorway complete. On the React Leo, it connects Nike's most modern skate platform to the deepest roots of skate footwear culture.
