Nike SB Janoski Flyleather Tumbled Grey Red

Nike SB Stefan Janoski Remastered Flyleather in Tumbled Grey/University Red. Redesigned low-top suede construction with double stitching and classic vulcanized sole made from recycled materials. Nike Skateboarding label sewn on the tongue and Nike piping embroidered on the side. Insole with Zoom Air technology in the heel for shock absorption.

Innovative model of Stefan Janoski FLYLEATHER shoes.

The iconic Stefan Janoski silhouette is reborn in the Nike SB Stefan Janoski Flyleather RM. The shoe is flexible, lightweight, and crafted from revolutionary materials from top to bottom.

“We tried to capture every detail we could,” says Jarod Courtney, Signature Line Manager for Nike SB, “and we wanted to make this shoe as sustainable as possible while still maintaining its functionality as a skate shoe.” In addition to the Flyleather upper, which is made from at least 50% recycled leather fiber, the Janoski Flyleather also features 3% Nike Grind in the outsole and sidewall. Nike Grind takes discarded manufacturing rubber, crushes it into tiny grains, and reconstitutes it into everything from shoe soles to athletic surfaces.

But beyond Flyleather and Nike Grind , the shoe's entire design process had SUSTAINABILITY in mind. "As we move forward, we want to emphasize sustainability in skate footwear and apparel," Jarod says, "(we want) it to be part of every decision, from material selection to pattern making, etc." The Janoski FL demonstrates that everything from the use of shoelaces and a tongue tag made from recycled materials to the minimally embroidered Swoosh on the side panel needed to be considered, with every element of the shoe being reviewed to see if it could be lighter, if we could use less, or if recycled materials could be used.
