Vacaville, California’s The Reporter is pretty proud of 1997 Vacaville High School graduate Stefan Janoski. And they should be.
His skills stood out so much (like the sport’s biggest star Tony Hawk) that Nike even designed a shoe after him — the Zoom Stefan Janoski SB (the shoe launched in May). A member of the Nike skate team, Janoski was there every step of the way and, besides the iconic Nike swoosh, each shoe has a personal tribute to Janoski’s hometown — Vacaville, California is stitched on the tongue of each shoe, along with his name. . . “It’s funny to me. This is where it all started,” the 29-year-old Sacramento resident admitted as he walked around Andrews Park and the front of the Georgie Duke Center. “It’s good to remember that.”
It’s always good to remember where you’re from.
