Nike Skateboarding drops another colorway for skate legend Stefan Janoski‘s signature shoe with the Stefan Janoski Max “Checkered.” The low-top holds a Black/Black-White colorway which renders the classic sneaker in a finely woven Houndstooth upper with black embroidered detailing throughout. It’s made with a one-piece breathable synthetic constructed upper, a white, lightweight Phylon midsole, an EVA foam sockliner, a Max Air unit under the heel, and solid rubber pods with a herringbone traction pattern. The trademark “For Daily Use / Stefan Janoski / Nike Skateboarding & Co.” emblem is emblazoned in white on the black tongue patch. You can purchase the Nike SB Stefan Janoski Max “Checkered” now from Sneaker Politics for $110 USD.

With the astronomical ascent of the Superstar on everyone’s mind, here adidas pays homage to its oft-neglected sibling silhouette: the Pro Model. Recently revitalized via a limited collaboration with Big Sean around this time in 2013, here the Three Stripes rolls out two crispy colorways of the silhouette, which are detailed with your choice of either subtle or bold touches. Pick your poison: the Pro Model “Tomato Red” features a tonal premium snakeskin leather throughout the upper, complemented by a suede interior and sidestripes. Elsewhere, the black drop features a murdered-out smooth leather upper, complemented by a black rubber outsole and classic shell toe. Interested parties can pick up both iterations at retailers such as Bows & Arrows now.

Back on May 6 of 2014, Kevin Durant accepted his very first MVP award. Dressed in a bold, color-shifting suit, the OKC star delivered a sincere speech that resonated with fans across the globe — and ultimately launched countless “You The Real MVP” memes. As a nod to KD’s attire that day, Nike is set to drop a “Suit” edition of Durant’s signature KD 8 later this month. Decked out in a knit upper of purple and red, the kicks are set off with bold lime green accents throughout as the hue hits everything from the branding and Dynamic Flywire to the rubber outsole and full-length articulated Zoom Air cushioning.

The classic adidas Originals Stan Smith silhouette gets a leather makeover in a luxurious brown patina. The regular lace enclosure is replaced with three Velcro straps in this model, all covered in the same brown leather and perforated with the recognizable but discreet Three-Stripes. An untreated effect gives off a raw aesthetic, which is perfectly complemented by the crisp white heel tab and sole. Head over to Allike Store to purchase the pair, which retails for €90 EUR (approximately $100 USD).

In honor of the 25th anniversary of the original Air Tech Challenge, Andre Agassi’s Nike Air Tech Challenge III has made a return in its OG “Radiant Emerald” colorway.

Retailing for $120 USD, the retro kicks can be picked up now via nike.com.
