Kader on Nike

[lordrandall]

Didn't Vans buy Supreme? So he still rides for them technically.

[dime a dozen trend skater]

And am I the only one who thinks that his song choice might be kinda a dick move? Unless he's just an innocent Tribe Called Quest super fan, choosing a song that's a well known diss track seems purposeful.

The chief keef song he used in the instagram version of the edit was "finally rich" lmao. If anything that's worse

young skaters want chief keef sosa but the filmers only want wu tang and a tribe called quest

No. Young skaters want Rosemary Clooney's Botch-A-Me and filmers want Van Morrison drunk as hell in the Last Waltz.

[close]

Haha, that is an epic performance (apparently he has crippling stage fright). Either way, Mesa using Caravan for Bobby Puleo's part in Penal Code is masterful.

Vans best song is the Cleaning Windows live version

Thoughts ?

I don't know, I doubt Nike is giving him a better offer.... or any offer outside of flowed shoes.

Not right now, during a pandemic, when the brand can't afford to renew any of their contracts that are expiring during these times, in big team sports as well as skateboarding. A lot of their track and field athletes have been seen training in other brands.They can't pay to keep relatively cheap contracts for legends like Gino, why would you think they could throw money at Kader?

He was gonna get royalties from that era shoe that some shops already have right? Why bail on that right before it comes out, and breach contract or whatever? Because I doubt VF Vans would have let him have a shoe come out without a contract that held him at least during the whole season of his colorway release.

And am I the only one who thinks that his song choice might be kinda a dick move? Unless he's just an innocent Tribe Called Quest super fan, choosing a song that's a well known diss track seems purposeful.

The insta version is a chief keef song which is more fitting. The tribe had to be strobecks choice, dude definitely is having fun pairing 90s music with kids playing dress up

The tribe song chosen isn’t a diss track to anyone in particular, it is just calling out the state of the industry at the time, similar to De La Soul’s Stake is High which has much more obvious shots in it.

slap is so weird some times. there are pages and pages of threads talking about how big shoe companies are ruining skateboarding, and fucking over skate shops, but as soon as a pro jump ship to nike, thats just water under the bridge.

425 a Q though? Your gonna have to put in some more than that to open up talks.

Seriously tho, whose smoked it?

 425 a q sounds really fucking dumb. Either NY is on some dumb shit or it's more like 120-150 for a q. Still fucking stupid crazy price but hey...that's how the dispensaries do it.

Am I tripping or is that about 3 times more than it should be? Is this like a luxury brand thing? I'm genuinely asking.

According to the IG, it's not on the West Coast yet but it does have to be packaged to be legally sold in California (although this law is taking a long time to get enforced.) I get the wild packaging because I think it just has to be sealed and then you're free to do something interesting but it still seems like it's spendy.

I got it wrong it was about 375 off rip but went up to 400 a quarter. It was a supreme collab so maybe its that.

Is weed going up in price?? I was used to paying 10/g even sometimes 5/g for mids but now it’s all 15/g.

There's definitely been some pandemic related inflation. Prices have definitely been all over the place but I haven't seen any prices triple. My local is currently getting 18/g for top shelf and that's up from 15/g. Supreme collab makes sense I guess but they can fuck right of with that. Premium denim horseshit

Supreme collab...

As in its some random weed with a supreme logo on the pack.

Been getting grams of Cookie Stomper at my local dispensary in Phoenix for 5 bucks. Where are you guys at? 18 a gram is fucking ridiculous.

[stets]

Of course a thread about Kader hopping sponsors turned mostly into a discussion about weed... fitting, given his instagram presence for the last half a year or more!

DC. When I was a kid it was 20 a g in Virginia but at some point it went way down. 5/g for decent mids. It’s now 120 a q if I want something like purple punch or jet fuel gelato.

[Sandygoat]

Is this normal to pay that much for some jazz cabbage ?

[Bloody Matt]

The change of influence, from Reynolds to Fat Bill is just not cool and not gonna do him any good.

And here comes the question, apart from Theotis who is loyal to cash, the full board sticker job, and Baker, is kader gonna fall into the TK, Antwan route and just become a pile? Has anyone else but Theotis made it that far, being black, on Baker?

Is Reynolds to blame? is it the image? Or just the fact that once let loose, they'll never be the same?

Depends on where you are. It can't be moved (legally) between states, and some states like Oregon gave out so many licenses that they far exceeded demand, and a few years later, there's still a bumper crop sitting on shelves. I think California, Washington and Colorado have figured out a balance, so the price was generally higher there

Not to mention, where is this whole “Reynolds to fat Bill” line coming from.  Does fat bill have anything whatsoever to do with Nike or is it the assumption that everyone on Supreme will eventually join FA/Hockey (except for Rowan)

[Sandygoat]

I think the assumption is that Kader is like anakin. Hes on the killing tusken raiders stage rn and he'll get his sith title when he joins FA. Fat bill is the palpatine to reynold's obiwan.

I don’t think that’s anyone’s assumption and a horrible analogy.  Maybe don’t compare a black skater with a slave as well.  Not a great look

My bad, just scrambled some thoughts together and forgot to read back to see if it made sense.

Let's try again.

Kader seemed very close to Reynolds, and the output was good. Once we've seen him hang around more with Bill and the Supreme crew, the attitude changed (of course it's surely an age thing). Not saying that the your friends/crew ARE the reasons why he's making these decisions, but maybe they influence them.

The other line was more focused on longevity on Baker, which seems obtained by not many people. Unfortunately, for statistics, even if there were some epic characters, most of 'em didn't end up with a profitable carreer.
