The Nike SB Stefan Janoski Velcro Rip-Stop “Cool Grey” is a part of this month’s trio of the Velcro series which has been garnering a fair bit of attention. What’s the coolest aspect of these rip-stop topped sneakers for us? The cork insole, of course. Cork is a natural cushioning agent and yet stays nice and firm. It’s something that has been used for flooring, so why not for insoles. The ripstop is placed over a grid skeleton that gives it additional durability.

A tonal embroidered Nike adorns the side. The construction sits on a white vulcanized rubber midsole and a gum outsole. These are out now. $80 gets you a pair.
