In lieu of sneakers becoming a part of casual and even classy evening wear, [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diorr-greenwood) has released its popular SB Stefan Janoski skater shoes in a dapper and luxe maroon suede upper with a detailed woven design. The use of high-quality materials in the shoe's silhouette along with simple embellishments take these [classic skater shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dark-team-red) to new fashionable levels.

The SB Stefan Janoski shoes are popular among skaters due to their wider shape, thicker sole for grip and loose fit. The all-new Night Maroon colorway offers a dapper and sophisticated redesign that couples supple leather and a bold oxblood hue with a [woven stitch pattern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/field-general-82-3) along the front of the sneaker. The laces and Nike logo match in tint to create a uniformed sneaker design.
