The Nike SB Tee M90 Brooklyn Banks S/S (Black) is a tribute to one of the most iconic street spots in skateboarding history, wrapped into a clean and wearable everyday piece. Made from 100% cotton, this tee features a roomy fit with dropped shoulders, giving it a relaxed silhouette that’s both comfortable and skate-ready. The left chest bears a small, stylized Nike SB logo, slightly distressed with a worn-in, vintage feel — a subtle nod to the gritty, timeworn aesthetic of NYC street skating.
The graphic on the back steals the spotlight, showcasing a painted scene of the Brooklyn Banks — a legendary spot nestled under the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Bridge. The artwork captures the spot's iconic architecture: the curved red brick banks, stairs, handrails, and trees that have shaded countless skate sessions over the decades. Set in a mellow pastel palette, the scene brings a dreamlike softness to a place known for rugged landings and gnarly lines. At the bottom corner of the graphic, a small Nike SB logo grounds the piece, giving it brand recognition without overpowering the art.
The Brooklyn Banks have been a cornerstone of New York skateboarding since the 1980s. Originally not built for skating, the brick bank-to-wall transitions and stair sets organically became a proving ground for generations of skaters — from the East Coast legends like Harold Hunter and Zered Bassett, to more recent footage from Supreme and Bronze crews. Despite periodic closures and threats of demolition, the Banks remain a symbol of skateboarding's resilience and cultural importance. Nike SB’s decision to feature this location in their M90 Series honors that legacy and reinforces their ongoing support of skate culture and history.
With its loose fit, midweight fabric, and deep reference to a sacred skate landmark, this tee is more than just merch — it’s a wearable piece of skateboarding heritage. A must-cop for anyone who respects the roots and rides the streets.
