Nike SB | Janoski Flyleather

In December 2019, Stefan Janoski headed to London with Elissa Steamer to check out the new Janoski Flyleather.

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.
