Nike SB Stefan Janoski Blue

Nike SB Stefan Janoski Blue

Stefan Janoski is back at it again, leaking yet another solid colorway of his signature Nike SB. This is one channels a little Elvis, as it is completely draped in blue suede.

Small perforations cover the upper-most portion of these, while solid suede is used for the toe portion. A white vulcanized sole is back, with a black pinstripe wrapping around it. Black is used again for the contrast stitching around the toe, for the liner and for the eyelets. A white Swoosh matches up with the leather squared laces. These aren’t as subtle as the obsidian blue pair we saw recently, but they also aren’t as wild as the “Peacocks” Stefan gave us a sneak peek of recently. Where do these royal blue suede SBs rank?

Nike’s SB line of Dunks looks to be doing big things lately, as fans who once doubted the lineup have started to trust their favorite brand again, thanks to releases like the “Bloody Gums” and RESN “Gucci.” Next up are these Highs, scheduled for a late-November/early-December release.

Nike SB Stefan Janoski “Vacahyde”

Nike SB Stefan Janoski "Vacahyde"

We almost made it a whole week without a Stefan Janoski Twitter sneak peek! Lovers of the Savage Beast will love this one though, which has been dubbed the “Vacahyde” by the man himself. For our non-Spanish speakers, “Vaca” means cow when translated to English.

This may be our least-revealing peek yet, but from the looks of it, the brown leather laces we’ve seen before are back again. The vulcanized sole for these Nike SBs is white again, with a matching tan pinstripe around the top. The hyde material covering the uppers uses a darker shade than the AF1s mentioned above, and is more brown than orange, also.

Nike SB Zoom Air Harbor

Nike SB Zoom Air Harbor

We see a lot of black and grey colorways dubbed “Raiders,” but we’ll refrain on this pair of Zoom Air Harbors, as their clean looks make them a “win,” and we know how rare it is lately that Oakland and winning are associated.

Team association aside, the greyscale color blocking of these often overlooked Nike SBs provides a nice look for the cooler weather, while keeping the white Swoosh and sole to keep the classic look. The entirety of the upper is suede, using black for the toe and heel caps. The mid-panel and tongue use grey, though the latter is mad with mesh for breathability. The dark toe cap should help with wear for those who will actually skate these.

And while we may have made a joke at the Raider Nation above, it’s all in good fun. The most loyal fanbase in the land is sure to appreciate these, as they don silver in black no matter their team’s situation, and that’s something we can all respect. The real question is, do you respect these sneaks enough to grab a pair?

Nike SB Dunk Low "Un-Hemp" Available Now

It was almost a week ago that we hit you with detailed photos of the “Un-Hemp” Dunk, and the skinny tongue vs. fat tongue debate raged on. For the most part though, the reception was warm and most of you marked them as a sign that SB is back on track, regardless of which tongue it’s bringing.

If you were one of the many who added these to your list of Holiday must-haves, you’ll be happy to know that thanks to Daily Drop, we now know these are available online and stateside. These may not be the “Chirping Bird” SBs, but they are a nice addition to most any collection, if only for the color and materials selections.

Nike SB Dunk High Black/White-Gum

Nike SB Dunk High - Black/White-Gum

The Nike SB team’s Twitter accounts have hit us up with a ton of good leaks lately. While it’s normally Stefan Janoski who gets us looks at his own signatures, its Kevin Imamura who gives us these Dunk Highs in black, white and gum.

These appear to be made of a matte-finish material; either canvas or suede. The overall look is very reminiscent of the tier zero A.R.C. x Nike “Black, White, Gum & Bang”. It also looks like of the three shoes Eric Koston is hoisting, the top air uses a lighter shade of gum, so there’s a good chance these are still just in the sample stages for the time being. Also, notice that Koston is rocking the Nike SB Stefan Janoski in Obsidian we just reported on this past weekend.

Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski - Obsidian

Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski - Obsidian

With as many Stefan Janoski Nikes we’ve seen in the last week or so, it’s getting harder and harder to keep up. But the good thing is that these obsidian blue SBs are actually available through select SB accounts.

They may not be as wild as the “Peacocks” we saw recently, but what they lack in color they make up for in class. The dark leather over the white vulcanized sole is as refined as it is simple. To complete the look, dark leather laces match the brown liner, the text on the tongue label and the stripe on the sole.

It may seem like we’re on a Janoski overload lately, but fans who have fallen for this simple Nike attest to its quality. How do you feel?
