Nike’s Skate-Ready Tennis Sneaker Returns to Chunk-tastic Form

What's better than a normal Nike SB Zoom Tennis Classic? An XL pair.

Bigger is typically better, yes. But the Tennis Classic XL is a return to a classic skate form. It leans into its original chunky design, with a wider upper, a padded tongue, and extra cushioning around the collar.

Simply put, Nike made an early-2000s-style Tennis Classic skate shoe in 2026.

First, it took the Air Force 1 Low back to 2001. Now, it's the Tennis Classic's turn.

The beefy SB model keeps the signature Air Zoom cushioning in the heel plus the unmistakable Tennis Classic look. It also comes with nice suede uppers realized in "Baroque Brown," a scheme famous for transforming Nike classics into certified sweet treats.

Mission accomplished. It made the Tennis Classic into a skate-able XL-sized dessert.
