Nike SB Bruin React vs Nike SB Zoom Bruin

While these sneakers look almost similar, Nike revamped a few details to make them distinct:

  • Upper. While the Nike SB Zoom Bruin is dressed with a full suede upper, the React version of Nike SB Bruin is covered with ripstop nylon on the midfoot and suede/leather on the forefoot. 
  • Swoosh. The sizes of the swoosh used in these kicks create a plain view difference. The Zoom-soled Bruin has a small Swoosh, while the React-soled Bruin has an enlarged size that overflows to the midsole. 
  • Midsole. The Nike SB Zoom Bruin is tooled with the Zoom midsole, while the Nike SB Bruin React has the springy React cushioning.
