Founded by Shane O'Neill in the spring of 2019, April Skateboards is young compared to its peers. Still, the team has accomplished a lot in terms of rider acquisition, tournament placement, and public opinion over the past four years. An impending collaboration with Nike SB Dunk Low is sure to bring unprecedented attention to the fledgling skate team.

April Skateboards features a healthy mix of industry veterans and emerging stars like Guy Mariano and Rayssa Leal, respectively. For its first-ever Nike SB project, the O'Neill brand has seemingly combined old and new school through the beloved silhouette. Peter Moore 's modified basketball sneaker from 1985 was born in 2002, with April Skateboard's vision bringing suede, mesh and leather to its upper. A vibrant blue (previously animating skateboards, t-shirts, and six-panel caps) livens up the overlays throughout the sneaker, working in tandem with silver-finished needlepoints, profile swooshes, and co-branding on the thorns. The fourth month is etched onto the lateral heel, cementing O'Neill's home after Primitive (which is also Yuto Horigome's home base) in the annals of Nike Skateboarding . Underfoot, the outsoles feature an icy finish that complements the upper half well, while also exposing a number of rich blue details.
