Kader on Nike

[stets]

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.

I heard from someone at Nike that they aren't paying him yet. Emphasis on yet. Sounds like they probably will after they get their budget figured out and get money for bringing back some of the dropped people too, like Gino. The company laid off 700+ people and put a company-wide freeze on any contact signing or re-signing across all sports.

So for now, Kader left a paying contract at Vans to get flowed shoes and no pay for awhile. They've got a guy who seeds those high hyped Dunks to people in the skate world, I'm sure he just added Kader to that list for now.

Was he really "On" Vans, or Emerica, as a top pro? or was he a 2nd tier pro? Like was he going to be getting a shoe? Reynolds probably happy with Vans as a 2nd tier pro and no shoe and less responsibility.

 It is likely that Nike offered him a deal as a top pro and those other companies weren't ready to take that chance on him yet. Maybe he will be gettting a shoe on Nike in a couple years part of the contract. Semes like it would be dumb to not take that tbh if thats what was being offered.


vans already has a shitload of guys they are invested in, im not really sure whats going on with emerica but they probably just never had the budget to put him on like that, even as a pro in the first place probably, and i think they are also invested into those other guys dakota servold + jon dickson for the next few years.

Nike ain't giving him a pro-shoe, at least anytime soon. Nike doesn't seem to really like giving guys pro shoes anyway, more giving them colorways on popular shoes or whatever the Shane Janowski is. Although, they probably pay many guys like they do have a pro-shoe.

baker is for kids, anti hero is for grown ups and adults

I was board shopping and the only one there that i’d ride was a baker.
I walked away boardless. Being a grown man, i just couldn’t do it.

I was in dire need for a wall hanger. Haven’t stepped foot on a board in years.
Just stare at them and reminisce.

Kader is not getting a pro shoe. Think of the pros on Nike that don't have their own pro shoe just colorways: Shane, Ishod, Malto, Olson, Mariano, Luan. All of those guys were at the peak of their relevance and nike only gave SOME of them colorways. Kader's just gonna get free dunks and a decent contract.

Getting a Nike pro model is meant to be a big deal.  They rarely give them out amongst basketball players and rarely amongst football 🏈 players.

Pretty much, if you aren't lined up to get a shoe on Vans, there's no chance you are getting one on Nike. Outside of Janoski, who has a pro shoe with Nike still because his shoe is a crazy seller, anyone who has a pro-shoe on Nike would get one on Vans, does anyone on Vans with a pro-model get one on Nike? Not saying the guys on Vans who have one aren't worthy, but when guys like GT or Ishod are just getting modified Dunks or Blazers, when they'd get a pro-shoe anywhere else sort of tells you what the landscape is.

That shoe is fugly so I chose to ignore it.

[KBizzle]

Janoski shoe isn't special. He got extremely lucky that his pro model basically looks like a Vans shoe.  Nike will put Kader on once things are back to "normal".

[stets]

[liquid]

wonder if he s blown it with everyone already and end up delusional without any sponsors when all his contracts are up

[Frank]

at this point, i think kader is just fucking with slap/the shoe industry.

i kind of back this.

Lmao this is getting amazing. Can’t wait to see how people lose their shit now.

Not a stretch of the imagination.

[Lukabrazi]

maybe he's playing adidas and nike back and forth against each other for the fatter contract.

[ok boomer]

I could see him wearing adidas

He left Emerica a season before his colorway was supposed to drop, same for Vans and his colorway release there - giving someone a colorway and having them on the team page seems like they're invested in him.

Also wonder if he's really gonna get on nike or not? Word on the streets is that Nike is supposed to pull out of most skateshops next year as well as dropping a chunk of team riders

That's absolutely a stretch of the imagination haha. He's easily one of the most popular skaters right now. He's definitely going to be picked up by either Adidas or Nike in the new year.

[Pete]

okay enoughs enough hes got a couple weeks before vans re-signs so he can wear whatever he wants in the meantime.

but every pro is flipping dunks regrdless of sponsor rn shits free money buddy, someones gotta do it.
