Stefan's Signature, Redesigned
The Nike SB Janoski OG+ is the result of a full year of research and redesign on one of skateboarding's most iconic silhouettes. Stefan Janoski's signature line returns re-engineered from the ground up, delivering better fit, sharper performance, and the same street-ready profile that made the original a staple on and off the board.
Construction and Performance
The foundation is a soft, durable suede upper built to absorb the repeated abrasion of skating without breaking down prematurely. Nike SB's vulcanized construction bonds the sole directly to the upper, producing a flexible, naturally broken-in feel that gives you a direct connection to the board from the first session. That low-profile structure keeps your foot close to the deck so every weight shift and flick registers cleanly.
Zoom Air Cushioning
Inside, a Zoom Air unit delivers a snappy, responsive cushioning profile engineered for skate-specific impact. The quick-off-the-ground sensation it provides means less energy lost on landings and a more reactive platform for technical tricks. It is performance cushioning tuned to the tempo of skating, not running.
Boardfeel and Grip
The outsole carries skate-specific tread patterning developed to maximize boardfeel while maintaining grip on grip tape. The vulcanized build keeps the sole thin and pliable so you feel the board under your feet rather than fighting the shoe for feedback. The result is a platform that works with your technique rather than dampening it.
Fit and Finish
The re-engineered upper delivers a more precise fit than earlier iterations of the Janoski, securing the foot without restriction. Two sets of laces are included so you can swap for a fresh look or replace worn laces without hunting for a match. The clean, low-cut silhouette transitions naturally from the skatepark to everyday wear.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Nike SB Janoski OG+?
- The Nike SB Janoski OG+ is the re-engineered version of Stefan Janoski's signature skateboarding shoe. It features a suede upper, vulcanized construction for boardfeel, and Zoom Air cushioning for responsive impact protection.
- What is vulcanized construction and why does it matter for skating?
- Vulcanized construction bonds the rubber sole directly to the upper using heat, producing a thinner, more flexible sole than traditional cupsole builds. This keeps your foot closer to the board, giving you better feel and more accurate weight transfer during tricks.
- How does Zoom Air cushioning work in the Janoski OG+?
- The Zoom Air unit is a low-profile, pressurized cushioning system that compresses and rebounds quickly under impact. In a skate shoe context this translates to a responsive, quick-off-the-ground feel that absorbs landing impact without making the shoe feel sluggish.
- Is the Nike SB Janoski OG+ good for everyday wear as well as skating?
- Yes. The low-profile suede upper and clean silhouette make the Janoski OG+ a versatile shoe that moves naturally from the skatepark to casual everyday use. The re-engineered fit also makes extended wear comfortable.
- What does OG+ mean on the Janoski?
- OG+ denotes the redesigned iteration of the original Janoski silhouette. Nike SB put the shoe through a research and redesign phase to improve fit, comfort, and performance while preserving the classic low-profile shape Stefan Janoski's line is known for.
- Does the Nike SB Janoski OG+ come with extra laces?
- Yes. Two sets of laces are included with the shoe so you can replace worn laces or change the look without needing to source a separate pair.
