Insane

such a bummer. but yeah, i mean, what else is it gonna be. hope nike pays him really really well, he deserves it.
-
There was some music festival going on last weekend in Finland and some skating went down there, Eniz was spotted in Nikes there already...
-
So fucking bummed on this, his shared part in Made 2 was the best in the video. This dude is one of the best in the world and all Emerica could do was giving like 1 colorway in 16 years. I love Emerica but you dey are blowin it.
Just small reminder of Eniz's greatness

not looking good. you know THE BOSS is gone the second the clock strikes midnight on his contract. He's too sueable or he would be on adidas already.

Soultec wouldn't do him like that. Too much bad publicity. He's just doing right by them.

agreed. emerica and lakai are obviously having a hard time competing with the big boys. but they're terrible decision making hasn't been doing them any favours either
-
I'm sure this has already been said somewhere else but the future of emerica aint lookin too bright. I think once Kder gets his man legs nike or adi will snatch him. Victor Aceves rarely puts up any footage, is he injured? Having said that their slipons the best

Kader's been on Vans for a minute now
This is whack. I hope he gets that money but Emerica dropped the ball hard on him. That and the fact that he always seemed to be just under the radar in the states didn't help either.

It was on the cover of Free Skate Mag so it couldn’t also be an ad. Not saying he doesn’t deserve an ad nor do I know if he’s gotten one, just saying there’s a reason this photo was not an ad.

Random fucker needs to drop that stroke outline on the type if we wants it to look like an Emerica ad.

Really stoked on the well staggered BGP’s in this photo.

LOL

atleast they still have spanly!
kader didnt even stay on emerica lol
-
easily one of the gnarliest and most productive dudes out there. emerica slept really hard on him and rob maatman. both even said it in interviews, that they find it annoying having a lot of quality footage saved up and emerica not using it accordingly. Besides, pros saying on trips that they rip the hardest but have litte to none output and outcome of their rippage. That's gotta be disappointing! 16-18 years is very loyal, i guess he could have left emerica for converse or something comparable a while ago
-
I can't Belive it, this dude deserved more than a couple of colorways. I don't like Nike but if someones deserve the Money is Eniz
-
i wonder why he never really got any US coverage, never got a visa to make it over?

Pretty sure he said in some interview he just likes living in europe better. Emerica really fucked up with this guy, dude has been one of the most talented, versatile and productive skaters for a long long time now and never really been pushed much at all by them. He's output has mainly been homie videos. Hopefully he's got something bigger and better worked out for the future

If you know finish this gives quite an information about his departure and how Nike deals are something different..
Kind of hinting Emerica might go down as some other people have suggested..
Also he said if I recall correctly 4 times the amount of what he made on Emerica.. And signing bonuses, travel budget for you, your filmer and photographer.. Kind of a trip tho all this shit going down..
-
WOWWWW
Yet Emerica boosts the ever talent-less Zach Allen?
Who the hell is making the decisions at Emerica??
-
first of all......... off***
Eniz Favlioz has been udner the radar because he isnt marketable in the American Market. If he isnt coming to the states and showing his face he isnt going to be on any team. The only team he may be on is Nike or Addidas solely because of their budget and the way they have their teams setup.
As far as Emerica goes, they will likely eventually not resign Reynolds and find some new marketable younger riders or possibly change their entire marketing strategy, if they do that Im sure slap will hate on them for selling out or not being core, and to you saying that, I say fuck you, take a business class

Didnt realize him and enzo are different people ::)

Why are there so many new jack dipshits trying to “correct” of in every thread?
You guys can fuck of, go back to the Thrasher comments section and get of Slap’s dick
-
They should change their name to Emericentrism.
Eniz didn't need LA footage sprinkled throughout his part to be "marketable" to US skaters, Emerica just never gave him the exposure he deserved. Skateboarding is worldwide. I live on the west coast and I certainly wouldn't want to hang out with anyone who only watched American skate videos.
-
Is everyone on slap regular? Why doesn't anyone know the difference between of and off? This happens every day.

That was an interesting listen for sure. I was surprised about his move to Nike based on the last episode he did but he went through it very well in that. Sounds like a no brainer really and I've always disliked Nike personally, even before I skated.
But I do wonder how is Nike able to pay so much more to everyone? I know they have deep pockets and all that but in the end, they have to make a profit as well and I doubt they'd keep shoving money into the skate program for years and years if it's making a loss. It just doesn't add up to me. ???
I still really Like Emerica but shit not working out with Eniz and them and all the things he said about ppl leaving and things changing is getting me more and more bummed. I'd fucking hate to be in a situation where the only options for skate shoes would be Nike, Adidas, Cons etc. :(

They may need to change their marketing strategy but their image is well known. It will be hard for them to completely change everything without looking like an es or etnies.

Yeah I would've imagined they'd be downsizing by now but I guess compared to how much money they put into sponsoring other sports like basketball and soccer etc. even if they sponsored half of the skate industry it'd still be a grain of sand in comparison.
Nice to hear some info about how good the Nike contract actually is. I'm always bummed when people jump from core brands thinking that the offer can't be so much better, but four times the salary, signing bonus, health insurance, can make your own trips and take personal filmer and photographer with you all expenses paid and the contract is for three years, there's no core company that could match anywhere near that.
Emerica could've used this guy way better. Kinda wish he would've jumped the ship earlier

Nike did 32.2 billion dollars in sales last year. They can afford to pay a ton of skaters, and recognize the value in spending some cash on cultural influencers. Skaters live in this weird world where the big brands in our heads are Nike, Adidas, Emerica, Lakai, Converse etc. Nike's golf glove business is probably bigger than Sole Tech's global annual revenue.

For the most part its me, Im doing that because your silly slap code is no longer relevant. Im also not that new just never commented, lurked for a long time and decided I wanted input when you dumb cunts talk about relatively simple concepts such as team changes and why they changed.
And because it makes you mad, ban my account and I will just make more and clog every thread with off**

it is much harder for even a Chicago skateboarder to be relevant let alone a foreign skateboarder, has everything to do with marketability

you're commenting on a board called useless wooden toy banter, and you're annoyed people are talking about team changes? where do you think you are?

i heard that nike has 40% of the skate shoe market. maybe there's less shoe companies than 15 years ago but that is a huge percentage. also their presence in skating helps 'legitimise' themselves as a streetwear brand as well as a sports brand. when i started skating it wasn't just skaters that wouldn't be seen dead wearing nike clothing, there was a huge 'alternative' market that had a negative association with them. now it's acceptable to everyone.
also feel you on the emerica front. i'll support them to the death but i'm not too stoked on their recent additions, compared to who's left. they need someone with star power to lead the brand for the younger audience.

and some new exciting models.
