Surprised he hasn’t already had a colour way out yet for NB. Would be sick to get a 1010 boss colourway, similar to Shane/Janoski. Also, why are people surprised he’s going nuts cutting up shoes, do you not remember the ‘madness’. The man knows what he is doing.

I'd think that starting with a colourway is a dead end street. Once you've got a colourway, there's little chance of a full signature model.

Who's had a colourway and then they're own shoe? Would be interesting.

Good point. If it doesn’t sell well then no chance for a pro shoe.

Franky had some colourways and just got a pro model. Everyone who's had an Adidas pro shoe had colourways first altho they are outnumbered by those who had colourways and didn't then get a pro shoe.

Ok, so it can happen but isn't the norm. Good to know.

Tom Knox has had (at least) 6 color ways and is working on a signature NB shoe

im down to talk shit and make stuff up

We need an MJ1 but with an N. Emerica tried to keep making that shoe but the Heretic just wasn’t it.

I’m sure the answer is somewhere on the forum but what actually happened with Vans? I know their core skate program is a drop in the ocean compared to all the shoes they sell to everyone at dept stores but what a mf fumble. Are they not meeting yearly projections like they used to or what?

Those white tiagos are good and look like the lifestyle NB’s that took over in the last few years. if they don’t make “skateboarding” 990s yet now is the time to cash in on that. That grey suede sells itself.

This thread is going to drive me crazy until his shoe actually comes out as newer people miss out on what Rothmeyer told us about the timeframe

emerica had a re-release of the mj1 a couple of months ago. They were like $90 and in a wack color way.  I wonder if they skated the same.

Damn he's still so good. One of the last pros from the mid 90s that still rip hard. Along with Daewon, Mariano and maybe Rowley. Anyone else?

[close]

Do you count vert guys? Tony hawk, Bucky Lasek, PLG, Bob burnquist, Lincoln Ueda, rune glifberg (I think was actually oldest competitor in entire Olympics)
I guess Kalis, BA and ave (altho they might be more late 90s) Jamie Thomas just said he's working on a part.

I meant still skating at pro level. After breaking his leg Tony is basically starting all over again. Cool that he is trying to make a comeback but he's not even a shadow of his former self.

Very few 90s pros are still putting out real parts. I think The Chief and The Boss still can, as well as Guy and Daewon. I am taking Rowley off the list too.

PLG, Bucky and Vov probably too but I haven't seen any footage of them in ages.

Id say they're all still at least at a Reynolds level of ability (altho obvs no direct comparison for vert to street) tony hawk actually competed at xgames the other week and did an NBD (Madonna 270 to fakie 5-0 grind) so his comebacks progressing quickly since he got his second surgery.
I'd throw mccrank in there too but again it's comparing street street to park street so maybe some people would disagree

Exactly . We’re not even gonna see samples on his feet till q1 next year at the earliest . His shoe is probably fall 24 at the earliest but I’d say early 2025 is probably the projected time frame .

@Mean salto you were right Bucky still is so good. I stumbled upon him at the X-Games IG, see below. In general it seems vert and bowl skating is less strenous than street in the long run, Rune was also ripping at the CPH open this week and  Nicky Guerrero as well and he is 55. As for the Madonna to fakie 5-0, crazy that he's still learning new tricks after breaking his leg. That also sounds like a trick that could go wrong (landing fakie manual on the platform or something)

I would love to see another Vov part some day even if it's just him fooling around in his backyard.

2025 is way too far away to capitalise on the boss. My bet is they are going to expedite this shoe, he ain’t getting any younger.

I’m quoting from rothmeyer in the nb thread who said the shoe is at least 18 months away a couple month ago. They’re starting from the ground up.

“It's being worked on but in the very early stages but I can confirm with you guys that he's going to get a shoe.  Colorways until his actual pro shoe comes out but starting from absolute scratch takes a long time for a new model to do it right.  And for Andrew, we most definitely want to do it totally right!  For the Tiago-1010, we already had that shoe developed mostly with him in mind so when he came on board, only a few minor tweaks and it was good to go and we were able to launch within like 7 months or so of him being on the team.  This one will more than likely take a full 1.5 years to develop. “

This was posted in late April . So yeah q1 2025 is most likely.
