Stefan Janoski.



The Greenhorne.

Stefan is from Vacaville, California. He came up on Expedition and then turned pro for Habitat in the early 2000s. He rode for Nike's Savier footwear brand until it ended, was briefly on Etnies, and then landed on Nike's rebooted skateboard team. Stefan won the lottery with his pro model shoe, which has been on the market for a decade now. I honestly don't see the appeal of the design. It's a simple boat style shoe that will wear out very quickly and offers minimal foot protection. Who knows? I've long given up trying to figure out why people are into certain things. At any rate, his sneaker success has allowed Stefan to live a life of leisure with the freedom to make neat bronze sculptures. His part in Mosaic was great, too.

Stefan has never been on here before, except for a shared ad with Kerry Getz. I was a little surprised by that.
