I used to like Nike when Janoski dropped, but now they think they are too good for skateboarding. Ugly ass shoes, colabs and discontinue janoskis to do more shine for Shane shoes (who look the same) seemed the worst marketing strategy.
Now I only skate in Adidas or És swifts (they are good).

i am bummed at discontinuing janoski's but it makes sense given the new gen doesnt know anything about him besides him having a bestselling shoe
to use shane o'neill as the replacement pro is wack, the new gen also doesnt know that much about him
nike is wack in general, so honestly who gives a fuck about anything this company produces
dunks used to sit on shelves collecting dust before skateboarders inherited them for being on sale/cheap. the hypebeasts appropriated broke people which doesnt make any sense. they want to look "cool" like skaters without putting any work into it/being lazy
fuck nike, fuck hypebeasts for taking a cheap shoe away from us

You could fit 109 Earths side by side to match the diameter of the Sun, and it would take 1.3 million planets the size of the Earth to fill it up.

in terms of testicles
the average diameter of a testicle is 2.5cm wide
the earth's diameter is 7919 mi or 1.274198e+9 cm
so 509,679,200*109 or 55,555,032,800 testicles side by side would match the diameter of the sun

They’re propably just trying to give the shane shoe couple of seasons to catch on and slowly start releasing limited release colorways of the Janoski.
Hopefully the sneakerheads take the bite and dunks will be more widely available.

“We’ve done a thousand ugly dunks in recent years and they are losing steam. What do we do next?”
“Well last time dunks became unpopular we brought out the janoskis”
“Ok bring back the janoskis and make it in ugly colorways”

Janoski’s are back. Pretty sure there’s an ad in the new Thrasher. The Shane’s also skate and look great imo. We get it, a lot of people hate/love Nike. Thanks for adding another thread about it.

in terms of testicles
according to the following source, the average testicular volume is 9.3 cm^3 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17270639/
given that the earth has a volume of 1000 billion km^3
we can estimate that to produce an earth sized testicle, we would need approximately 107,526,881,999,999,984,808,304,648 testicles in order to achieve this feat
ref: (1000 billion (cubic kilometers)) / (9.3 (cm^3)) = 1.07526882e26

I find the timing of this post odd with everyone on Nikes this past weekend posting in their stories wearing and talking about the Janoski coming back.

I think the way europeans interact on internet forums is so sick. It's so uninhibited and reminiscent of simpler times

Ok, I’m gonna be a boomer for a sec.
Nike has one of the worst track records for sweatshop labor, including using slave labor from imprisoned ethnic minorities in China, leather from rainforest-decimating cattle, and by fucking over people, the environment, and continuously trying to get into skateboarding’s pants to exploit it for marketing, you’re only beef is that they stopped making a shitty shoe you liked?

I would welcome Nike leaving the industry. They are primarily using skateboarding for marketing these days to counterbalance the fact that they are the lamest and most mainstream sports goods company on the planet.
I also hope Hypebeast culture dies and limited drops at pseudo core skate shops are discontinued.
Actually, I don‘t have a doubt they will die soon. The half life of these pseudo exclusive and artificially limited marketing scemes is already over. Sneaker drops will soon go the way of the NFT hype…

After years of searching dunks to skate in my country, last year FINALLY got my hands into some Dunk Low Pro "Barcelona" just for skating.
Ive skated them for a some time now and I hate them, I simply can't understand whats going on with them: Upper its suede and sole its classic gum... so everything should work fine, isn´t? well it doesn't, not ever: I simply can´t trust on them, they are grippy with some tricks and their shape reminds me the accels, but most of times they feel so slippery you look like you don't even know how to skate, kicking in the air like a dumbass and rocketing ollies, a fucking mess.
That being said, I dunno how the pros are skating all those crazy colorways dunk models like nothing (PROD or Ishod). I feel so dissapointed with the shoes and myself but they look soo good I keep giving them another chance ;D

Even if they aren't paying him, he can just flip some shoes here and there for extra cash. The resale on Nikes is considerably higher than Vans. And yes, Vans fucked up.

Vans is hurting. Sales were double-digit for like fifteen years and now they’re seeing the those same numbers in a sales drop off. They’ve got the new Zion shoe, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they start cutting back and that probably includes no new additions to the roster.
