Nike SB | Janoski Flyleather

In December 2019, Stefan Janoski headed to London with Elissa Steamer to check out the new Janoski Flyleather. Meeting with the local crew of Korahn Gayle, Casper Brooker and Kyron Davis, they put the shoe through its paces on the streets of London and checked out the factory where Flyleather is made. Comprised of at least 50% recycled leather fiber from scraps that would otherwise be left on the factory floor, Flyleather is a lightweight alternative to traditional suede that doesn’t sacrifice durability or skateability.

The Janoski Flyleather is available now in select skate shops and Nike.com.
