Nike SB React Leo Premium 'Dark Beetroot'

Dark Beetroot. Premium Construction. The SB Leo Elevated.

The Nike SB React Leo Premium in 'Dark Beetroot' takes the SB Leo's technically serious skate platform and upgrades both the construction and the colorway simultaneously — Premium designation materials on the SB Leo's React foam and skate-specific build, in a deep, rich dark beetroot that sits in the space between burgundy, wine, and the specific dark purplish-red of a beet at full depth. This is the SB Leo for those who want the technical performance of the React platform and a material quality and color that announces the Premium designation without spelling it out.

Style number FQ7639-600.

Dark Beetroot: The Color That Works Harder Than It Looks

Dark beetroot — the deep, complex purplish-red that references the specific color of a roasted beet rather than the broader berry or wine family that simpler descriptors would suggest — is a color that earns attention differently from the way bolder or brighter colors do. It doesn't announce itself at full volume. It asserts itself with depth: the kind of rich, complex red-purple that reads differently in natural light than under artificial light, that has enough warmth to feel inviting and enough darkness to feel serious. On the SB Leo Premium's upgraded materials, dark beetroot becomes the color that rewards the close inspection that Premium construction deserves.

What You're Getting

• Upper: Dark beetroot premium leather and suede construction — the rich, deep purplish-red applied to the SB Leo Premium's upgraded upper materials in a finish that gives the color its full depth and complexity
• Premium Construction: Elevated material standard throughout — the Premium designation's upgraded leather, suede, and finishing details that distinguish this SB Leo from the standard construction lineup
• React Foam Midsole: Nike's React cushioning technology — high-energy return foam providing significantly more impact protection than standard skate constructions while maintaining the Leo's low-profile look
• Skate-Specific Construction: Nike SB reinforcements throughout — durability upgrades and impact protection for legitimate skate use
• Gum Outsole: Natural gum rubber outsole — the warm natural tone that completes the dark beetroot palette from the ground up, the classic skate traction surface for grip tape and board feel
• Style Code: FQ7639-600

How to Wear 'Dark Beetroot'

The 'Dark Beetroot' SB Leo Premium pairs naturally with the dark, rich fits that the color's depth suggests — black, charcoal, and dark navy give the beetroot maximum contrast and let the color's complexity register clearly. Earth tone fits in tan, camel, and olive create a warm combination that brings out the beetroot's red undertones. Cream and off-white fits give the dark beetroot its most striking contrast and make the color the undisputed focal point of the fit. This is the Premium SB Leo for those who want the React platform's technical performance in a color that communicates quality before anyone notices the construction.
