Nike SB Chron 2 Canvas review

Who should buy the Nike SB Chron 2 Canvas

This breathable beauty is the full-on canvas counterpart of the OG SB Chron 2 from Nike. Buy it if:

• You wish to own one of the comfiest summertime sneakers in town.
• Enhanced surefootedness is what you need, whether on or off the skateboard.
• Sneakers whose laces stay on take priority on your to-buy list.
• You want a comfortable kick with extra sensitivity underfoot.
• Your arch needs a bit more reassuring support.

Who should not buy it

With no initial tightness to deal with, the Vans Era S is a great alternative to the SB Chron 2 Canvas. There are also no discoloring issues in the Nike SB Force 58, so check it out instead of the featured shoe.

Stun the crowd in canvas

The SB Chron 2 Canvas has raked in quite a number of aesthetic-centric comments, such as "the design is simple but adorable" and "definitely like the sleek styling of the shoe." But arguably, the two best ones are "dope-looking canvas sneaker" and "its monochromatic styling makes even larger feet look good."

Lavish comfort in the SB Chron 2 Canvas

Many reviewers find the Nike SB Chron 2 Canvas exceptionally comfy. The following remarks reflect their hype for it:

• "Extremely comfortable."
• "A nice, comfy skateboarding shoe!"
• "WAYYY more comfortable than the Heritage."

PS: That third and final comment is mostly focused on the insole of the featured shoe. For the reviewer, the kick's default footbed is so much more comfortable than the one in the Nike SB Heritage Vulc.

Say goodbye to achy arches

Among the main draws of the Nike SB Chron 2 Canvas is its ability to brace the foot, making wearers worry less about wearing out their arches. It's "surprisingly supportive," says a non-professional reviewer. Another one says that it has "a nice supporting inner sole that presses up your arch," which in turn gives you all the underfoot support you need.

Greatness in the grip department

Sneakerheads are quite hyped about the Nike SB Chron 2 Canvas in terms of surface traction. One of them says that it has "really good grip even with old worn grip tape." Another one says that it's a pair that provides "lots of traction."

But it has a break-in period

There are those who find the SB Chron 2 Canvas a bit tight overall initially. "They were a little snug at first," says one of them. The same reviewer, however, reassures sneakerheads that past its average break-in period, the shoe loosens up just right.

The Nike SB Chron 2 Canvas' superb fit

Numerous sneaker fans only have great things to say about the SB Chron 2 Canvas' fit, from "the fit is spot-on" to "they fit like a glove." But perhaps the most convincing remark is this: "Airmax 90s didn’t fit right, AF1s didn’t fit right, but these did."

Ideal for summer

Ventilation is excellent in the Nike SB Chron 2 Canvas, and quite a number of sneaker fans agree. "This a buy for me," says an individual who finds the featured kick's canvas upper very breathable. Another one simply says that the sneaker in question is "great for warm weather."

Short-term color vibrance

It's been reported that the hues of the SB Chron 2 Canvas lose their punchiness way too soon. One purchaser said that his kick's vibrance started fading away in just a couple of weeks.

Responsive rides in the SB Chron 2 Canvas

In the SB Chron 2 Canvas, you'll get more than enough board feel, especially around the forefoot. One skater links this remarkable sensitivity to the shoe's toe-hugging (but not smothering) forefoot section.

Laced-up for longer

The laces of the Nike SB Chron 2 Canvas stay tied without being set too tight. One reviewer says that he doesn't have any issues with the shoestrings at all. He also adds that the shoe's laces are the clingiest compared to other sneakers he had in the past.

The easy-to-clean SB Chron 2 Canvas

Apparently, cleaning the Nike SB Chron 2 Canvas is quite a walk in the park. One tester says that "the canvas is easy to keep clean," while another praises the shoe with the comment: "easy to keep clean or wash."
