They have leather/nylon uppers and rubber soles with a pretty good tread. I brought my Blackbird into the store to stand on and check for grip and it was rock solid.

How well they do on the street I won't know til it quits raining here. I still don't like the idea of spending A LOT of money for a shoe that's only going to go down the drain after a few foot breaks, but for $30 I'll spring for it and see how they do. Oh, and recently I went ALL OVER the Nike website looking for something to skate in and there was nothing about this from corporate. If you don't want a $120 basketball or cross training shoe, then don't bother asking Nike.
What I really want to know is if these new shoes do as well as my $19 Cortez did for 20 years.
