Reynolds in Adidas, Feelings?

[GershonSweaty]

My imagination tells me Reynolds is using his outside ventures (abc, villager, etc.) to create the financial cushion. He comes across as being very committed to staying core so I have a hard time seeing him leaving emerica unless sole tech makes cuts or he chooses to walk away to preserve someone else's spot there. But, I'm an idiot and don't know shit.

Very good point I totally forgot about villager.

Wish Vans made an effort to snag him

Tbh the sneakerhead in me would be first to line to cop a Reynolds adidas or a Nike SB Ellington

Just threw up in my mouth a little.

As long as he’s still Baker, which he always will be, everything is ok.

As long as he’s still on Baker, which he always will be, everything is ok.

Sure. Potato, tomato.

Contracts end and it's hard to pay someone what they're worth while also trying to grow the team with younger guys trying to get their shine, and other established pros trying to get pay bumps. It's unfortunate, because he held out for so long, so he's kind of the last man standing in terms of someone with that clout/status in skateboarding who's still relevant representing a skater owned brand.

clearly Reynolds is going to habitat

[ArtVandelay]

If the rumor keeps gaining momentum, then it will become reality. SLAP rumors are like subliminal messaging - Andrew Reynolds will wake up one day with a newfound love for the 3 stripes and a committed decision to ride for Adidas, and he will not know why....

[franquietits]

I wouldn't mind him leaving Emerica; it's his choice. I feel like they've exhausted all creative possibilities with him now at this point. They've given him every shoe he's ever wanted, he's came through with amazing video parts, clothing opportunities -- it's good mileage & possibly one of the most complete runs a skateboarder has had with any company in history. There's nothing really more for him to do for emerica.

The only disadvantage for him leaving is that he'll lose ties to emerica as a life long brand ambassador, whereas another company like Adidas, might dump him down the road.

I'd be interested to see what kind of direction Emerica goes in without their all-time great "brand leader", in Reynolds.

[thatdrugruglookscoolonyou]

What was he wearing in Cop and a Half?

[shit4breakfast]

Emerica is all Reynolds really has besides the option of leaving to start HOURS. I mean, the dude is pretty irrelevant in terms of the marketing priorities of brands like Adidas and Nike. All of his best footy has already come out, now we just play the waiting game.

Pretty sure they're on a RVCA trip. Reynolds also posted a pic of Curren Caples (ofmg on vans confirmed)

he just probably finds this photo aesthetically pleasing or something

just opened ig and saw that, couldn't help but add fuel to the fire lol

I fuck with that color way.

[coyote2425]

I'm probably going to see him skate at the RVCA demo tonight. If so, I'll be sure to report back.

They put these guys on for legend status. I mean, how much footy have Gino, and Koston really put out since being on Nike? Koston has like 5 tricks in pretty sweet, tricks in Boys of Summer and a very casual part for Koston in Chronicles 3. Guy hasn't put out anything outside of an ad in Nikes.

MJ and Daewon have nothing really in Adidas yet, despite being there for like 20 months. These guys have name recognition that is unlikely to be matched. Plus, they can afford those contest kids like Nyjah and guys on hypebeast brands like Kevin Bradley. They pretty clearly diversify.

[colt cannon lunchbox]

Has Reynolds been vocal in the past about supporting skater owned companies? Is he going to do an MJ?
