I always forget how to imbed photos on here. It was a story post from a few hours ago. He said thanks to Nike SB for all the years of support. He enjoyed the time but today they split ways. He looks forward to the new year and new challenges. He’s been on so long and never really got a colorway or anything I can remember. He’s definitely a talented skateboarder but he definitely lacks in Street parts. I think of him mostly as a IG skatepark edit, Berrics, SLS skater these days. It’s gonna suck not getting those “checks”.

Shoe sponsorless for awhile but on Triple 5 Soul clothing.

Don Brown or Kelly or Pierre himself should get on it. Didnt Luan make the berries. We should be all working together to get Nike out of here regardless of anything else
All luan fans back on core shoes
Just do it

Luan on cons would be tight
He’d look good in a pair of cons but I get the feeling like he’ll be sponsorless or on Cariuma. He still has a big following but it’s hard not to feel like he’s in the twilight of his relevancy

I like that shoe but definitely a different colour for me. Maybe burgundy and burgundy mist or like two shades of green and a little brown. Hospital Jonny colours would be sick.
Black and purple is cool if it's light

Minus like DC and lakai.
Think NB, vans, and Adidas would fit best with their slip on offerings.

He’s someone I’ve never could quite understand Slaps love for (doesn’t read as sarcastic). Is he still big in the contest scene? Or am I missing some parts?

I think it has to do with our general taste for low impact street skating.

Ahh damn. Since Nike stopped producing Janoski shoes, I haven’t spent a penny for Nike products.
I don’t understand what they were thinking. Huge dealbreaker for me.

Don't think he's that big in the contest scene anymore. Think he only ever actually won once and he kinda Steven Bradbury'd it and seeing as sls looks like it's filmed in a school gym now he prob isn't getting any appearance fees.
Globe actually wouldn't be too bad. He kinda skates like Austyn and the team.

This. He never showed up his real potential talent, dude had one of biggest paychecks from nike to do nothing than flatground tricks. Maybe that weak last video part wasnt reject clips.
-
Time for some Axion Luan! Make it happen!
-
Luan is an enigma for me. It is super frustrating that the parts he has put out always seem like the result of a week's filming or so. But every time he appears in slides and grinds it just looks so surreal how fast and popped he can skate - he has the skills to make a part that will go down in history as one of the greats, but it doesn't seem like something he's interested in approaching.

sounds like he doesnt have something new up his sleeve... could be the first step out of direct relevance?

Misdirection, classic Ignatius.
I do remember when one of my comments was misconstrued as racist. Was definitely bummed on that - I'm still bummed on it TBH. I love so many skaters of all regions and races of the world.
I can't argue against the misogynist part, it fit the definition. I thought I was being cheeky and it was just douchey.

it's pretty clear tho : Luan likes to skate skateparks and (sometimes) plazas which make up for fine instagram clips but boring parts. he is like a gymnast, comfortable in a gymnasium going over the same obstacles over and over, not interested in throwing himself over 20 stairs rails. As a result he's able to produce a lot of instagram clips and perform well in contests while limiting possible body damage, i think it's worked pretty well for him these past 10 years

Rodrigo Texas

It's funny how Rodrigo's last name got shortened to TX as unpronounceable to the general skateboarding public despite being a big name in the game. Yet in boxing, there's a C+/B level fighter like Patrick Teixeira which every random meathead wannabe boxing pundit could easily pronounce yet he was devoid of any fighting alias which is all too common in the hurt game. I thought skateboarding was a more international and accepting thing but who knows? Maybe not. Just a stupid drunken thought. Ignore me.
/edit I forgot to mention the boxer's lack of nickname and despite being an actual "sport" (more of a business really) boxing is very nationalistic and still extremely racist and narrow-minded sport. Believe me, I frequent a high-traffic boxing forum too and it's not pretty...

Rodrigo TX is a boss nickname, very recognizable. I think at the time there were other Brazilian Rodrigos in skating so he couldn't go by first name basis like Luan and Tiago have since done, the football star way.

I guess the TX stuck because he’s been around for so long and that shortening was done back in the day when skateboarding was 95% Americans. These days I think he woulda just gone by Rodrigo Texas.

I think there's a few of these stories around and prob even more no one knows about but I think Adidas just made him an offer and quickly made a Adidas "skate" model (looked like a bruin) with Malto on the side but obvs it didn't work out.

But you’re overlooking the context of the time period.
Other dudes with non-english sounding names who coming up in that era also had their surnames “truncated,” one presumes for marketing purposes(?)
Wade Des Armaux comes to mind.
Who got some other fun ones to share?
Somewhere, buried in countless thousand threads, is a whole discussion on the Anglicizing of skaters’ names.
Not that the topic warrants further discussion per se, but take a dive if you’re bored.

Yeah, this is one of the better nicknames. Make an adidas shoe and just put “TX” on it, and everyone is gonna know exactly whose shoe it is.

Yeah, like watching him skate BATB back in the day was insane. He made other pros look like they were going slow as molasses and had the pop of a grom sometimes. But, it never showed up in his actual parts consistently. Whereas say guys like Westgate, Mason Silva, Louie Lopez or Cromer they tend to really deliver speed and just floating over things consistently in their parts.

Yeah, Cory Kennedy has Adidas on in the older clips in Pretty Sweet, although, I'm not sure he was ever announced as being on Adidas, just was in-line to get on. I believe Chewy Cannon went from fully on Nike to Adidas though. At a minimum Chewy was fully on the NikeSB UK program. Malto went from DC to Etnies to Nike, but I think when leaving Etnies he took meetings with all the high-paying companies at the time outside of Vans.

I haven't scrolled through 4 pages of this yet, so it's highly likely this has been pointed out to all those saying "Cons would be sick".....Cons is owned by Nike. :o

You never see him chilling with homies in any square, only skates indoors or skateparks.

Damn, I hope he has saved some money. But I've got to say that he has been out of the limelights for like five years now so I'm not that surprised that Nike let him go. He used to be all over over the place a few years ago and seemed to disappear quite suddenly. I always wondered what happened with him.

They did hit a point where they were just re-releasing all the original colours again (maybe 10 year anivers) but yeah they missed out by not just keeping them always available

They couldn't stand the fact some random skateboarder had a shoe on the wall of 100 best selling shoe of all time on Nike's catalog, his cheques were probably bleeding the company dry.

The janoski is a shoe i couldn’t wear. An 11 dugged into my baby toe on my right foot. 11.5 was way to big. S
But is funny there’s now a whole generation that doesn’t know about janoski domination.

Same we were just talking about Janoski's yesterday... they were a long and skinny shoe, that was a lot heavier than it looked... was an instant no for me due to the hooves I have for feet, would have had to cut my pinky toe off to wear them...

Seems like it's Matriz' own shoe and sold only through them
Ran the caption thru googletranslate:
Tested and approved by skaters, the MF01 collection is back at Matriz, replacement of the 4 models with limited stock, and you can only find them at @matrizskateshop stores or with Matriz Mob sellers. Go to the side to check out all the models and watch the video of Suede Black on a skateboard ride.
Buy now by visiting the bio link or glue to the nearest Matrix!

They are bringing back the Janoski this year

From October '22: https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/DealStreetAsia/Singapore-based-sneaker-brand-Cariuma-steps-up-funding
Cariuma, a Singapore-headquartered direct-to-consumer sneaker brand, has raised about $16.5 million in a funding round backed by venture capital firm East Ventures, regulatory filings show.
Cariuma's holding company, Tempo Livre, reported net revenue of $23.6 million for the 2022 financial year, up from $13.1 million in 2021. But it also recorded a loss of $22.9 million, higher than last year's $15.3 million.

Ahaha I doubt they stole him. Dude got let go from Nike and then took whatever deal he could get that pays is a more likely scenario. Don't think there was a Luan Oliveira bidding war.

Don’t really see him getting let go. Maybe they weren’t going to give him the money he wanted and he walked. Hes a top tier pro who, I’m assuming, has a huge fan base in Brazil. They keep way less deserving guys on the roster.

Nahh...it was a boot. Nike has battling to decrease his paycheck for years and his agent arguing to keep it up. In Brazil now every kid want be Tiago. Luan is not relevant for years for them.

You think Luan is top tier? In what way? He doesn't put out parts and he doesn't win contests. Not even close to top in any lane of skating. He is very good, but so are all the other mid pros.

Looks like he’s jogging on the treadmill wearing Asics on his story. I know Luan isn’t a big fan favorite here but he’s no scrub. He’s got a big fan base in the US and Brazil, probably world wide. The only thing he’s lacking is street footy and parts. But all his Berrics and SLS stuff he’s always going fast, excellent pop, proper flick and catch. With all that being said I wouldn’t be surprised to see him on Cariuma. Would rather see him on Asics or even Sole Tech maybe éS or Etnies. I enjoy his skating so hopefully he does drop some street footy this year.

Call me an old has-been, but that's pretty much all I care about.

Luan is a virtual top tier skater but an actual c-tier skater.
What I mean by this is that he obviously has the talent and unique style to be able to create something that stands out in every best way, if he wanted to. But it seems like he doesn't want to do the work.
Honestly I shouldn't care, but every time he skates that box in Brazilian-game-of-skate-on-a-ledge, I get this feeling that he could produce something truly unique and impressive, but we are just never allowed to see it. I'm not saying he owes us this, but I'm close to quoting Spider-Man on the subject of responsibility.

Luan is a slap fan favorite though, he just fell off. No one on here discounts his skill and style it’s his output . He’s good but not the same part 4 times good
-
around 8 years ago Luan was probably my favorite skater, he was really good, but he stagnated a bit and lost relevance, I still like him but he is not the best ( or at least one of them ) like he was around that time.
That being said Luan on Cariuma makes a lot of sense these days and I wish him the best.

I asked them and got a non answer but I still want proof they’re planting trees. That 21 million dollar loss says maybe but like where is this forest y’all should have by now? Or do they skirt that by just giving shoes away to anyone with a skateboard picture and 10k followers on instagram?

Why do people think this was some big poach by cardibuma Instead of Luan just getting dropped from nike?

I commented on Luans instagram post he ended up blocking me. Surprised it took so long to be honest.
Was pretty cringe that the cariuma account was responding to all the negative with overly positive shit. I guess kill them with kindness will keep them marketable to non skaters but I almost wanted them to just say some aggressive shit, people might respect them a little more.
A question I pondered though, at this point what would it take for core skateboarding to really accept cariuma as not the corniest kookiest shit around ??

Ah, shit... You bought a pair, didn't you?
Zero cause to ask such a silly question unless you're wrestling with your questionable decision right now.
The reason's have been clearly laid out, ad nauseam, so I'll not list them here again in order to spare fellow users, but let me say that I am sorry about your purchase, and you are already forgiven for the error in judgement.
Now go have yourself a great day I try to ignore the sneers from fellow skaters.

Little question but; why cariuma
is he so hated..? I can't figure it out.. the brand looks right, the shoes look nice to skate on, and I believe they have an eco-consciousness.. why so much hate? I remember when Nike and Adidas came, everyone hated them.. and now everyone likes or accepts haha
Zero cause to ask such a silly question unless you're wrestling with your questionable decision right now.
The reason's have been clearly laid out, ad nauseam, so I'll not list them here again in order to spare fellow users, but let me say that I am sorry about your purchase, and you are already forgiven for the error in judgement.
Now go have yourself a great day I try to ignore the sneers from fellow skaters.

All good, mon frère en skate.
I was just déconner avec toi.
Have a gnar for your good sense of humor.
If you’re still curious, we can play a detective game. I’ll give you some clues: bulldozer tactics, YouTube influencer pay-offs, zero trees planted.

I saw him skate in Copenhagen once, so impressive. Watching him warm up was so sick, just rifling off flatground tricks, every try, so proper.
Cariuma is wack but he's got to make a living. Continue to skate professionally with Cariuma or get a real job type of situation, I would imagine.

Why this guy was never on primitive is beyond me.
Seems like a cool dude as well?
A typical case of "great skater, but lame sponsors".

Can confirm that it is straight up bizarre to watch him in the flesh - full speed, pop and just lands everything!
That part reminded me that at some point everybody seemed to be wearing tie-dye and went to china for filming (Am I correct in assuming it was around the time, when Skate 3 was still new?)

Nah...Primitive is for productive guys.

hate cariuma all you want, but..
imagine you are a professional skateboarder, and your glory days are in the past. you have a family, a home and commitments. someone comes along offering you a bigger pay check than what you already got, in change for you to wear their shoes. you would be pretty stupid to turn them down, even if it upsets the edgelords on obscure internet forums.

hate me all you want, but...
being a pro skater like luan, who is not the most productive guy out there, probably gives you a ton of free time. i'm guessing he knew that a professional skater's career isn't eternal, and when he was still in street league and getting that nike check, he could have spent some of that free time on getting an education or learning a trade or something. i'm not phased by the fact that luan is on cariuma now since i don't care about both of them, but imagine if heath went from emerica to cariuma just to milk that skate shit for a couple more years. he would never do that, that's why he's got the respect of nearly every skater. we wouldn't speak so highly about all the pluhowskis, pappalardos if they started skating for wack ass companies when their big contracts fizzled out or whatever. i understand your/luan's point of view too, but it's not like there's nothing to do for him except skating, i mean if he asked nicely he could have probably gotten on that sb career development program if that's still around instead of going for the low hanging fruit and deciding to skate for possibly the most universally hated skate shoe company ever. on the other side people probably said the same about nike sb in their early years but then again they had legit legends on the team since the beginning, fuckin gino, richard mulder, reese forbes. luan's no gino, and who else do they have, mike v? lol

Skate 3 2010, push part 2015

The year is 2035
Every professional skateboarder is sponsored by Cariuma
Still, no real skateboarders are buying their shoes.

Im kinda curious on how well his Skateshop/s is doing as he has been so under the radar last couple of years, he is kind of flaunting his cash on instagram so i do have a hard time believing he went to Cariumba soley because of money.
In his Push documentary he do say that he wants to study economics to make a career for himself, did he fuck that up and took the easy route á la Cariumba?
oh and yeah, 60% vegan materials, 0 trees planted, the worst kind of marketing for skaters, weird non relevant collabs and either washed up pros on the team or some random instagram influencer. Cariuoomba is fucking wack

Damn…vallely, skate goat and luan!?! That team is stacked.

Not a marketing expert, but key to entering a new market would be to acquire universally loved skaters from the start. Obviously you’d have to offer ridiculous contracts to people like Fred Gall, Guy Mariano, Ray Barbee types. Mike Vallely and the Skategoat are super polarizing figures. Way harder to unkook your brand, once kooked.

Everyone hates them because they partnered with Berra, they sponsor the wrong type of skater and they are ugly. Everything else is just backfill.

Oh my god man you're suggesting that Luan go become a plumber or learn to code rather than accept a large check from a shoe company in order to do the only thing he knows how to do?
-
Damn…vallely, skate goat and luan!?! That team is stacked.
Don’t forget Trevor Colden!
-
I just wanted him on és. I'm ok with the move. Luan can Rick what he wants. But he shouldn't ever skate to Motor Breath again. Bad bad fit.
He is the guy who gets the most views via berries. It makes sense he would go there. I was just hoping he'd go and make a core statement.
I was definitely tripping tho. Luan is not caring about the core.
-
I would definitely hire Luan the Plumber if he starts a business...at least once.

I’m surprised he went to Cariuma instead of Globe

So I took a look at the website to check a few things and couldn't help but notice that only the skate shoes force that ugly leaf down your throat on every model. The silhouettes don't seem like anything to brag about in my opinion. Very simple, maybe some would enjoy.
To each their own though

Luan owns TWO mall shops. He did the right thing with his "free time" and nike money and is set for life.

Respectfully, I submit the following thought: personally, I would definitely have to force a smile if I was wearing a Cumorama shirt and/or their shoes. Show a little compassionate understanding of the shitty situation poor dude finds himself in. This shit shares the same tier/level as Airspeed on the shameful sponsors scale.
I feel bad for his mother.

Fuck it let him flex. I hope one day we have a big trash talker contest skater that will cut wrestling style heel promos whenever they win gold. Belittling the crowd telling them how worthless they are. Demanding applause, I’m all for it!

You are living in the past my dear friend.
Who the fuck cares about Fred Gall outside of slap?
Their is a huge fanbase of these YouTube Skaters and all of them have their own clothing or board brand but cariuama is the only shoe brand in that niche. Even If you don't like them i think they did smart decissions in the past.
-
Just watched his push remastered video. I forgot just how good he is at what he does. He needs to skate more interesting spots though. A ledge part filmed in china is boring. I haven't seen footage from him in a while but he's still young enough to put out his best part yet. I wonder if he was dropped from Nike for lack of productivity/end of contract, or was poached by cariuma with a better deal? Cariuma is ass but he does seem to fit on there.

You guys really gotta get this idea that he was “poached” out of your heads.
Man’s contract was not extended.
He wisely took the only offer on the table.
Ass brand or not, he needs that revenue stream to prop up the slower times at his retail locations.
Shameful? For certs.
Smart? Oh yeah!
Let the man live: doing so with his “tail between his legs” is punishment enough for his questionable decision.

Where the fuck does Cariuama get so much money, in the span of 5 years they were nothing in the skate industry to being one of the most infamous brands. The fact that they are poaching riders off Nike shows that they have a lot of income at their disposable. Somethings fishy

Am I wrong for liking this move based on him being from Brazil and skating for a Brazilian company
- Madrone Capital - Menlo Park, California based venture capital and private equity firm. They are associated with Wal-Mart heir S. Robson Walton, eldest son of founder Sam Walton
- Shanghai Capital - Shanghai China
- 4M Holding - Cesar Villares - the only one from Brazil
- East Ventures - Japan
- Innova Capital - Poland
- Exor Seeds - New York
Don’t think he was poached, as Lou said it’s more than likely his Nike contract wasn’t re-upped
