Grandpa Skater Kicks

The Nike SB Stefan Janoski AC RS is Skater Approved

— October 21, 2013 — Fashion
Skaters, streetwear addicts and older people will love the newest Nike SB Stefan Janoski AC RS release. The sneaker is said to be a lifestyle sneaker in that it combines both skate and street life into one.

The old-school/old-persons look is displayed by the new velcro straps. Janoski’s have traditionally been fitted with laces, but that would cut out older age group demographics entirely. This new release not only appeals to skaters, kids and streetwear addicts—but your grandpa too.

The sneaker features a gray wool upper and an all-white rubber outsole/midsole. The outsole is also made up of a herringbone traction pattern for durability and grip while skating. The Nike SB Stefan Janoski AC RS just dropped—so grab them while they last.
Trend Themes
1. Old-school Sneaker Design - There is an opportunity to create innovative, stylish shoes with a vintage look that can appeal to both young and old demographics.
2. Lifestyle Sneakers - There is an opportunity to design sneakers that can be used for both skating and streetwear, catering to those who enjoy both lifestyles.
3. Velcro Straps - There is an opportunity to create new designs for sneakers that cater to seniors and the older age groups, who may be unable to use traditional laces or who prefer the ease of velcro straps.
Industry Implications
1. Skateboarding Equipment - There is an opportunity for companies in this industry to create skateboarding shoes that cater to older age groups and that bridge the gap between skating and streetwear styles.
2. Fashion and Streetwear - There is an opportunity for this industry to tap into the appeal of vintage styles and create shoes that incorporate both skating and streetwear styles that can be used for various activities.
3. Assistive Devices for Seniors - There is an opportunity for companies to create shoes that cater to seniors and the older age groups, featuring designs that make them easy to wear and use without compromising comfort or style.
