The suede Janoski is by far and away one of Nike SB's best skateboarding shoes. With a great level of durability and comfort, all the shoe needs is fresh colourways each season to remain at the forefront of the skate footwear world, and Nike have certainly delivered for AW16. Cue the Janoski Suede in Hazelnut/Baroque Brown/Gum.
The upper of the shoe (as can be gathered from its name) is full brown suede, providing a really rugged and retro feel, as well as being the perfect colour for the autumn ahead. The piping on the shoe also comes in brown but in a leather instead, and the shade of brown radically changes to a dark brown on the tongue, laces, ankle collar and inner lining. Nike's Swooshes on the lateral and medial sides of the shoe have been given prominence via a black embroidered make-up, as has Janoski branding on the tongue which comes in the form of a black woven label with brown text. A gum midsole and outsole further enhances the vintage style of the shoe, and makes it much more cohesive overall.
A Zoom Air unit sits in the heel to provide great impact cushioning and overall comfort in an area that typically takes a punishing when skating, and even when walking. The outsole has been vulcanized, making it much more durable, and also features a herringbone traction pattern, providing unparalleled grip when skating. Finally, perforations are featured on the vamp, to enhance the shoe's breathability.
We also have multiple other offerings from Nike SB, including the Janoski Max, Bruin Hyperfeel, GTS, Trainerendor, P Rod, Koston Max, Dunk, Zoom Oneshot, Blazer and Check.
