Did you mean a Space Gray Sport or a Space Black SS? There is not a SB Sport.

Not keen on the grey/white Nike with the SBSS.

Thank you for posting this combination! The new Nike band looks very gray next to the SBSS. I will hold off buying one until I see it in person at the Apple Store in town.

In real life I think it seems a bit darker, but the grey in the photo is pretty close. I like the combo, especially since it has the "black" pin.

Sorry, yes I meant SG Sport.
I wanted to order a SB SS with Link bracelet but they pulled it off the store very recently.
I had the SG Sport S0 and upgraded to the SBSS S2 with Black Sport band late last year. I do not like the bulky Link bracelet, so I picked up the black leather loop when Best Buy was having one their Apple accessory sales.

It doesn't look that bulky to me. It is elegantly thin but very expensive!
I live in the US. We do have a Best Buy store here but they don't carry the Nike bands. May just order a couple from their site and return in store if I don't like em.
You'd be better off with authentic Yellow apple bands. The knock offs are generally pretty poor quality compared to the authentic (but much less expensive if that is an issue for you)
Can you still get the solid authentic ones? I missed out and got a knock-off. Nowhere near as good unfortunately.

In Australia Apple ships free, and includes 14-days return. There are multiple drop-off points available if you didn't want to post them. Maybe something is similarly available to you?
Still available on the Apple store website .... I'm from Canada so not sure if the websites have different availability in different countries
After trying it on my SBSS watch, I picked up the Nike Antracite/Black band last night from my local Apple Store. The band is definitely a dark gray matte color with black holes, but I think the contrast is very sharp when you are looking for a more casual band.
I will try to upload a few pics in different lighting when I get a chance.

Turns out, it is! Not sure if they were temporarily unavailable, or I got confused with the original Orange band which is now some weird Apricot.
This is my Space Grey with the Platinum/White Nike band. I have found that some people in the know like it but the majority of my work colleagues hate it. I really like it so it's staying
That looks sharp! My platinum band is supposed to be in on Tuesday. Don't have to post a picture now that you did but I think I'm definitely going to be keeping it after seeing yours.
Edit: Btw what color is the pin?
