HISTORY OF THE JANOSKI MODEL
In 2009, most skateboarding shoes were slip-on. Nike SB professional Stefan Janoski decided to change this trend. He wanted the model bearing his name to be flatter, lighter and lower and give a better board feel. He told us, "Make my feet swell." We used a super-thin vulcanized sole and a collar so low that we had to add that legendary strap to keep the shoe in place. We also added a dynamic Nike Zoom Air gas cushion to prevent feet from swelling. The result was a model that reflected Stefan's common sense and businesslike nature in every detail - even down to the old-fashioned shoe patch.

From the very beginning, Nike shoes were used for skateboarding, especially the Blazer and Jordan 1 models. Despite this, Nike strived to create a line dedicated to skateboarding, which is how the SAVIER shoes were created, which unfortunately did not last long on the market. It is worth mentioning that Stefan Janoski was already in the team at that time. The current Nike Skateboarding was launched in 2002. It was then that Dunks were released, which were slightly different from the classic Dunks - they were softer, stronger and created with skateboarding in mind. The next milestone was the signing of a contract with Paul Rodriguez. Thanks to this, just 3 years after the launch of the brand, the first promodel appears - signed by P-ROD. In the same year, Lance Mountain decided to remake the famous Blazer basketball model into the Nike Blazer SB. It ended with great success. Nike SB slowly conquered the skateboard market. In 2007, the first Nike SB film "Nothing but the truth" was released, which had a wide impact in the skateboarding world and was very positively received. The following years saw the increasing development of Nike SB. In 2009, Nike SB releases a new pro model - shoes signed by Stefan Janoski, which turn out to be a bestseller. In the same year, Erick Koston left Lakai for Nike SB. The year 2010 saw increasing acceptance of Nike SB as a skateboarding brand, and sales were conducted only through true skateboarding stores. In 2011, Sean Malto joined the team, and a year later (2012) Alex Olson. Thanks to all these steps, Nike SB is increasingly strengthening its position in the skateboarding world. The most important event of 2013 was the premiere of the Nike SB film "Chronicles Vol. 2", with the last part featuring Ishod Wair (who also won the SOTY 2013 - Skater Of The Year by Thrasher magazine thanks to this performance). 2013 also saw two new additions to the team: Ben Raybourn and Trevor Colden, who left the Emerica brand for Nike SB. The year 2014 was rather stable due to the collection of material for the next production - "Chronicles Vol. 3". Youness Amrani joined the official Nike SB team. The year 2015 brings further important events. Joining the team of stars such as Nyjah Huston and Guy Mariano and the premiere of The SB Chronicles Vol. 3.
