Kader on Nike

[144p]

He quit both emerica and vans just as his color way was releasing.

I’m telling you, this has got to be a strategy from the bigger brand riders leave for. Marc Johnson was just a pawn in this game, probably still getting paid by Adidas for sabotaging Lakai.

Is this first emerica to nike roster change ever?

Nope. Trevor Colden

I was just thinking about how him doing this reminds me of Trevor's going pro debacle. Leaving right as a company had dumped loads of money into you, leaving them with a backlog of product that they have to deal with.

[Sold Out]

I heard from someone at Vans that he's not even on Nike, just didn't resign his Vans contract and kept pushing it back, now he's wearing Nike's everyday but doesn't have a deal with them even. Nike hasn't posted anything about him and doesn't follow him.

I'm sure they'll figure something out, but Nike just dropped a bunch of team, so it'd be a slap in their faces to drop loads of guys then just add Kader.

Yeah it was MJ that sabotaged Lakai and not their hideous designs and collaborations with Lena Dunham and other “who cares” types

that is correct, he even had a contract colorway i think. i just rewatched a bunch of old footage, too, haha.

that darrell comparison s so fitting!

i always thought it was strange how everyone especially reynolds catered him with all these opportunities turning him pro real young... basically spoiling him- i wonder if kader s ever heard the word no in many regards

in the long run that might not have been a good choice for everyone especially kader

[HugeBodBoyle]

Yeah man, I needed Kader to stay on Vans so that when we get to his Bunt episode 10 years from now we could hear him have no regrets about turning down a chance to skate for Nike to stay on Vans. "Sometimes I use my Era Pro colorway to eat soup with because I can't afford silverware. Glad I turned down that Nike money so the idiots on Slap would respect me, though."

lol yeah i’m sure he wasn’t making any $ on vans, when was the last time you saw anyone wearing a pair of vans anyway

[heckler]

that darrell comparison s so fitting!

Yeah, it’s great - they’re both black sponsored skateboarders who quit Vans, so obviously they’re kindred spirits.

[Pete]

That vans colorway is terrible I can’t imagine too many people want that. I don’t blame him.

The kader is just buying dunks theory is pretty funny. He’s just been getting them backdoored at supreme to sell like every other pro with a shop sponsor that gets the hype shit. Kader said fuck it tho and started skating in the ones not hitting for anything on stockx. Unlikely but what do I know. That footage in those Griffey dunks has to be old tho.

Still can’t tell if that’s supposed to be a supreme x Baker tshirt. Would be sick

Reynolds has to be worst offender of this. Look at all the kids he pushed and they piled out.
Ya think he’d learn his lesson.

It feels like Reynolds tried to put together another "kid crew" with Tyson, Kader, Donta, Tfunk an Zach Allen after Fat Bill put out Cherry and Kader ended up being the only one with any real marketability.

Made Baker pretty lame. They’d put Dee on and I didn’t think twice about it. Long haired dude in skinny jeans that smokes weed. Baker. Just seems like they’re following the trends now. But they’ve always had little kids. Herman and TK and Evan.

It's almost as if Baker has always been a little kid company and everyone who grew up screaming "BAKER BAKER BAKER" is finally realizing it.

Thats kind of like telling a music fan not to care about bands and just play their guitar. They goes hand in hand.
