nike sb bruin high why so sad

The Nike SB Bruin High "Why So Sad?" edition is a symbolic skate shoe designed to raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention. Created in collaboration with Scottish skater John Rattray, who lost his sister to suicide and suffered from depression himself, the shoe is part of an ongoing campaign to promote mental health dialogue within the skate community. The design features a wear-away Swoosh that fades from light blue to yellow, symbolizing the journey from emotional struggle to happiness. This edition encourages physical activity like skating and biking as a coping mechanism for mental health challenges. The shoe offers a snug fit, comfort, and board control, embodying both skate performance and a meaningful message to uplift the spirit.
