Roxana Howlett Evaluates Nike Stefan Janoski JDI Shoes for Kids
Roxana Howlett is the exceptional 9-year-old skater from Exeter. She's been skateboarding since she was 6 and has impressed audiences at Buckland Jam, Exminster Skate Jam, the NASS Festival, and even appeared in a Cartoon Network commercial!
We asked Roxana to evaluate Nike's Stefan Janoski JDI skate shoes for children. The Nike SB collection provides a range of skate shoes for children, teenagers, and adults, from beginners to seasoned pros. The Stefan Janoski series is one of the most iconic and well-known when compared to other Nike SB designs.
Purchasing skate shoes can sometimes be a bit intimidating, particularly when buying for kids. Understanding what to buy can become clearer after reading online reviews. It's helpful to know what to expect regarding durability, comfort, price, and performance.
Roxana’s Evaluation
SkateHut sent Roxana a new pair of Nike Stefan Janoski JDI skate shoes for her to evaluate. Weeks later, we visited her in Exeter to gather her thoughts on these children's skate shoes. Here's what she shared:
What skate shoes have you previously worn?
I've worn Lakai, Vans, Etnies, and DC Shoes.
How long do they usually last?
Typically 6-8 weeks before they become quite worn out! I skate every day.
What were your initial impressions of the Nike SB Stefan Janoskis that SkateHut sent?
I thought they looked really cool! They were different from any others I've seen, so they looked good and stood out.
What did you think about the colour?
I liked it. They were black with white rubber edging and orange "Just Do It" writing, which looked great.
Did they fit you well?
Yes, they did. They felt slightly smaller than other Nikes I’ve worn, a bit narrower fit but they were good.
Are they comfortable?
Yes very
Would you be happy to wear another pair of these shoes in the future?
Definitely
Do you have any additional comments about the shoes?
They look great and are a nice alternative to plain Janoskis.

Purchasing skate shoes
When selecting skate shoes, it's important to go for a pair that won't interfere with board feel while skating. As with any skate shoes, you'll need to break them in so that they're not overly stiff but flexible and comfortable.
