Nike SB Malor TE (use code GEARUP)

The Malor TE represents Nike SB's methodical approach to skate footwear design—a model engineered for impact absorption and board feel rather than lifestyle aesthetics. Part of Nike SB's core roster, the Malor TE sits between entry-level offerings and flagship collaborations, targeting skaters who demand durability and responsive cushioning without premium price tags. The silhouette's design language emphasizes functional geometry: reinforced toe caps built to withstand repeated grip tape abrasion, gusseted tongues to lock down the midfoot during tricks, and sidewall protection that extends into the heel counter. This is a shoe designed around the repetitive stresses of skateboarding—kickflips, pressure flicks, and pivot wear—rather than casual wear trends.

Nike SB's Malor TE construction prioritizes board control through a relatively thin midsole profile paired with Nike's SB Zoom cushioning, which delivers responsive feedback without excessive stack height that would compromise ankle mobility and trick execution. The upper typically features a mix of canvas and leather overlays—materials chosen for their durability under abrasion and their ability to mold to foot shape over time. The outsole rubber is reinforced in high-wear zones, particularly the ollie area where repeated friction with grip tape causes accelerated degradation. Internally, Nike SB's comfort insoles provide arch support for all-day sessions, whether on concrete or in the park. The overall package weighs considerably less than trend-driven skate shoes, maintaining the lightweight feel essential to progression.

At $45.58 after applying code GEARUP at checkout—a 43% discount from the original $80 price point—the Malor TE becomes an exceptional value for dedicated skaters or those building a rotation of functional board shoes. Nike SB rarely discounts below 40% unless seasonal inventory clearance drives deeper markdowns, making this window competitive. The code applies automatically in cart, requiring no manual entry beyond standard Nike checkout. This price positions the Malor TE well below comparable models from other brands offering similar technical specifications, especially for skaters prioritizing durability over aesthetic collabs. Nike SB sizing runs true to standard Nike proportions; skaters transitioning from other brands typically maintain their regular size, though a half-size up accommodates thicker socks during colder sessions.
