Huston made it to the podium alongside fellow American skateboarder Jagger Eaton, who won silver, and Japanese skateboarder Yuto Horigome, who earned the gold medal.
Nyjah Huston competing during the Men’s Street Finals on day three of the 2024 Paris Olympics at Place de la Concorde on July 29, 2024.
While competing in Paris, Huston repped Team USA in a matching set courtesy of Nike. In a patriotic shade of navy blue, the monochrome outfit included shorts and a collared button-down shirt featuring the Nike Swoosh and a small American flag on the front; additional personality was displayed on the back with a whimsical design of a bird playing a saxophone. The first-time Olympic medalist completed the look with a fitting accessory, a baseball cap emblazoned with the American flag.
While Huston and Eaton both wore red, white and blue Nike Air Max Dn sneakers during the medal ceremony as part of their official Team USA uniforms, Huston wore a special version of his signature Nike SB Nyjah 3 shoe to show off his skills on the ramp. The heel of the low-top skate shoe utilizes Nike’s Zoom Air technology while the “honeycomb outsole” is described by the brand as “grippy yet featherlight.” The shoe is available in ten different colorways at slightly different price points, with the lowest price being $110 — though several pairs are currently on sale for 40% off from Nike.
Huston wore a unique colorway of his signature shoe — one of the Safari designs created in honor of the Olympics. The back portion of the sneaker is decorated with a black and white animal print; the orange inner lining of the shoe peeks out as well, contributing to the wildlife design.
Huston’s second signature shoe, the Nike SB Nyjah Free 2 , hit the market in 2020 in two colorways, following the release of the Nyjah Free in 2018. The 29-year-old athlete first signed a deal with Nike Skateboarding in 2015.
