Taking nothing away from the above pictured design, because it really is a dope sneaker that has some fascinating implications, but really, it’s about time. The Nike Zoom Stefan Janoski has been crushing the casual/skate intersection for over three years now, and while a midtop silo and a variety of special details have stretched the range of available options, most of the releases are still quite conservative. So with all-over patterns so popular and Nike themselves having offered some sick printed custom jobs at Salvation Malibu, we’re surprised it will take until summer 2013 to get something like the ‘Floral’ Stefan Janoski. Then again, these could open the floodgates to a Vans-style plethora of patterns (maybe even a manly Liberty London collabo), in which case we might have a full-on Nike SB renaissance on our hands. Let us know what you think of the style that usurps the ‘Wino’ as most visually engaging Stefan Janoski sig and stick with Sneaker News for updates.
