Just when you thought Nike SB couldn’t possibly do any more with the Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski, the signature skater is spotted rocking a grandpa-approved, velcro-strapped version. This round of Janoskis features a simple black and white colorway and looks to be constructed in the standard manner, save for the aforementioned midfoot change. It’s too early to tell if we’ll be seeing this sneaker in stores soon, but expect more information to surface soon.
What you see here are 3 new colorways of the much loved Nike SB Zoom Janoski set for a Spring 2012 drop. Nike’s dunk SB shoes were designed to cater to the specific requirements of skateboarders. Skateboarders were already using the immensely popular Nike dunks because of their low profile sole and light weight but when Nike released the first shoe designed especially for skateboarding (the Nike dunk SB) it was an instant success. The Nike dunk SB has extra padding, and has a characteristically ‘puffy’ tongue which has became a perquisite for all skateboarding shoes in the US. In fact, many Nike dunk SB shoes have become collector’s items and Nike is actively collaborating with designers to release limited edition or collector’s editions for their Nike dunk SB shoes.
The three colorways all look strong and appear to be repping black/deep ocean, hay/white, and a light graphite/black colorway. I’m loving the hay make-up as I have done with all the earthy tones that have been dropping this spring. Keep it locked to see what else SB will have on offer with the Janoski. In addition, Nike Dunks are produced in limited quantities adding to their desirability and appeal. Nike dunk SB shoes are so popular. Also, ‘first day’ release of some Nike Cortez Light Grayish Blue Lattice shoes have caused Nike fans to swamp retail outlets a few days before the release date. Interestingly, it is next to impossible to find Nike dunk SB shoes at discounted or wholesale rates, as Nike has rarely sold the Nike dunk SB shoes for less than the recommended retail price.
