Nike SB Stefan Janoski | Shoes

Whilst there haven’t been any huge releases within the Nike SB Stefan Janoski range for the start of 2020, this is quiet before the storm in the lead up to a brand new sustainably driven model that is set for release later in the year that is sure to change the face of skate footwear forever. Last year saw the 10th anniversary of the iconic Nike SB Stefan Janoski range, which continues to offer specifically crafted footwear built using reliable detailing and materials aimed directly at skaters. In celebration of this, Nike SB released an array of impressive, experimental designs throughout the year which brought attention to the versatility of the Janoski Remastered Shoes, as well as the pro rider’s own personal heritage and creative style. Woven ikat fabric, perforated detailing and premium leather variations appeared within Janoski Mid Remastered and Stefan Janoski Slip On Premium silhouettes in addition to a special edition collaboration with the Violent Femmes that celebrated the brands latest studio album. Taking influence from classic Nike lifestyle

models, the Nike SB Air Max Stefan Janoski 2 perfectly combines the brands history with contemporary style and features added support within the heel to ensure the foot is well protected during demanding skate sessions.

First introduced in 2009, the Nike Janoski changed the face of skate footwear forever with a lightweight, low-cut design crafted with a focus on there being as little material between the wearer and board as possible. Known for his creativity and independent vision as a professional skateboarder, artist, writer and musician, Janoski was cautious to not put his name onto a design he didn’t fully believe in and after many initial samples were developed by Nike and original designer James Arizumi, the team rested on a design that bared all of the elements they deemed necessary, whilst also looking to the future of skate footwear within performance and aesthetics.
