New York City is a mecca for many things. Basketball – check. Cultural diversity – for centuries. Art and music – you’ll find it everywhere. Skating – darn right. Over the last decade, Nike Skateboarding has enjoyed a meteoric rise from one of the most followed ‘cult’ sectors of the Swoosh to a rock-solid roster of Action Sports superstars, but the ‘how they got there’ hasn’t been much explored.
Nike Skateboarding kicked off a day-long exploration of the NYC skating scene by way of personal tours guided by the Nike Skateboarding team, giving the media an unforeseen insight into the daily routines of the skating stars while revealing some of their beginnings into the sport and how they came to join forces with Nike. We started at the Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, took in a show at the Coleman Skate Park under the Manhattan Bridge, and finished off the day with a sick showcase and Nike Eric Koston 2 unveiling in the Chinatown/Financial District border. Continue on for a recap of the day’s events, a chat with Stefan Janoski, and an interview with Eric Koston and Koston 2 designer Shawn Carboy below.

The Nike SB May 2011 Footwear Collection has hit stores, and one of the highlights of the group is easily the Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski Mid in a rich Cappuccino suede upper, black swoosh, white midsole, and gum outsole. It’s been mentioned time and time again that the SB Janoskis are an outstanding lifestyle shoe in addition to being a quality skate shoe, so it’s no wonder Nike SB decided to broaded the Janoski scope with the mid-cut design.

Last year Nike SB released the Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski in a luxurious white perforated leather variety, which further instilled the Janoski as one of the best skate-to-lifestyle crossover shoes to ever come out of Nike SB. Acting as the ‘yang’ to last year’s ‘yin’ is this upcoming colorway, featuring black perforated leather and a white swoosh. Again, perforated leather does its thing by boosting the appeal from skate to lifestyle to high-end fashion. Rock these with shorts, rolled up khakis, or some jeans, and you have a solid installment for your summer-time rotation. An additional shot awaits you below so take a look and let us know what you think.

The month of April was quite an eventful one for Nike SB, starting with the cancellation of the Cheech & Chong release, the release delay/confusion with the White/Black Zoom Janoski Mid, and the debate and discussion surrounding the Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Space Jam’. Let’s leave all that controversy behind us and look at the May 2011 releases from Nike SB: a new colorway of the Janoski Mid in Cappuccino/Black and a P-Rod 2.5 inspired by the Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Cali’. Not included in this grouping is in fact the Space Jam SB Dunk Low and the Aqua/Skeletor SB Dunk Low, but you can expect those next month as well. Check out the May 2011 roll-out below and stick with Sneaker News for more Nike SB release information as it develops.
