On its way to stateside retailers from the Far East, the 8Five2 x Nike SB Lunar Stefan Janoski Black Patent release date is set for Saturday, September 20, representing the debut of patent leather in the Janoski signature line.
A collaboration with Hong Kong skate shop 8Five2, the new Janoski is one of the most striking you’ll see. Ever, maybe. Black patent leather cloaks the entire upper, which, paired with the white eyelets and Lunarlon midsole, brings a dressed-up look reminiscent of a tuxedo to the Lunar Jano. The juxtaposition is interesting, and wildly eye-popping, overtly fashion-forward aesthetics adorning an inherently functional skate model.
Grab a pair on Nike.com on September 20, although independent skate shops won’t necessarily be mandated to adhere to that release date. (We’ll update you as further information becomes available.) Retail is set for $110.
