The sneaker is the next step from the earlier Stefan Janoski floral and digital floral patterns that released a month ago. This new 'Black Mandarin' colorway moves a bit away from the ultra-fluorescent colors on the previous models. This version of the Stefan Janoski features a darker silhouette print with subtle grays, black and white tones, which are contrasted by the more traditional [bright orange details](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sundial-colorway). This sneaker is intended for skateboarding, so it's built for some thrashing. The sneaker features soft materials on the upper which also make it a very suitable leisure shoe for casual walking.
