Matt Varga Nike’s Olympic plans are in full swing. With info regarding the Nike SB Dunk Low “Olympic” emerging a few months back, itself succeeding news of a similarly clad Blazer, the skateboarding vertical seemingly has eyes on a bonafide pack release. The latest addition to this growing family is the Nike SB Janoski,
With the Dunk’s full embrace of the “Safari” print that dresses its overlays and the Blazer instead mostly utilizing the palette rather than the pattern, this pair presents an amicable middle ground between the two. To that point, the greyscale cheetah print from past releases appears in a moderate deployment on the heel cup. Elsewhere on the upper, things stay in that monochrome territory, matching neutral grey suede with black piping and branding. Literally down the middle is where the trademark orange and blue appear for an energetic jolt of color.
The Nike SB Janoski “Olympic” is expected to release sometime around the opening ceremony, but a concrete date hasn’t been confirmed. Official images below depict GS sizing, but both men’s and GS pairs are confirmed to be releasing.
For more SB drops, take a look at two similarly themed drops with the Nike Dunk Low “Trocadero Gardens” and Nike Dunk Low “City of Style.”
