Nike’s Suede Skate Slipper Is the Good Kind of Basic
Stefan Janoski's signature skate shoe is an icon for a reason. Besides its solid boardfeel, the Janoski looks good in just about anything and in any form.
For example, the Janoski+ Slip sneaker is a slip-on version of the classic sneaker. It's still just as simple and sleek in design but free of laces. The slipper may even be sleeker than the OG, thanks to the cleaner upper. It leaves more room for style.
The model's "Black/Gum" colorway, which is available on Nike's website for $90, is particularly nice. It arrives with smooth black suede uppers and a gum rubber sole. Besides a quiet Swoosh on the sidewall and signature Janoski tags, that's pretty much it for the Slip. And that's perfectly okay.
Of course, under the hood, it maintains all the session-ready details which made it a classic in the first place, like Zoom Air cushioning and the patterned outsoles specifically engineered for skating.
The Janoski has dabbled in some fashion-y looks, having literally received the velvet rope treatment and a furry makeover before. But if we're being completely honest, the model is best served basic.
