GT is a weird one because technically he does, but that’s debatable. Miles... Struggling to think of any other pros, past or present, who’ve been anywhere near their level, for anywhere near as long, that never got a pro model. ???

A Carlos Young Ipath around the time In Search of Roots & Culture came out. Pro for Uprize around that time. A Mike York DVS

Did Malto, BDK or Worrest ever get shoes?
-
Has Wade D ever had even a colour way?
-

malto had 2 or 3 etnies, worrest had 3 es, bdk only had a couple colorways
-
Good question!
I thought about this all the way home lol. Was gonna say something like it would be a man am from back in the day, but I think you’re probably right to say miles
Wades a good answer, too. I think he had a colourway. Do colourways count?
-
Es should’ve given Wade a shoe 10 years ago.

Bobby Puleo

AO comes to mind. Shoul've had one on Vans bit dipped before it got released. He had some 917 collab (Nike?) Later in, but it wasn't his shoe per se.

Someone can correct me but IIRC these vans versa was supposed to be an AO signature model but he wasn't happy with them so they repurposed them into a dressier team model.

a lot of the british goats never got signature shoes which is a drag. nick jensen, danny brady etc. i guess isle had that nike shoe but that doesn't really count

Mason Silva and Miles Silvas - only SOTYs without a pro shoe?
-
Best pro: Carlos Ribeiro.
Worst pro that had a pro shoe: Sean Pablo.

and Milton Martinez
Best pro: Carlos Ribeiro.

Sean Pablo only got colorways.
I’ll add Ryan Lay to the list. I only remember an Etnies colorway and the #480 x Slow Impact, if that counts.
-
Tom K should have one on NB being their first and longest team rider.

Felipe Nunez

Did Javier Sarmiento ever have a shoe? That dude is probably the best skateboarder to ever live.
Matt Reason is probably my favorite skater (goes back and forth between him, Jake Rupp and Fred Gall) and he didn’t have a shoe but I consider the half cab his show.
-
i bought some new balance 430's because of ryan lay recently (enjoying them!) so if he had his own shoe i would definitely cop that. absolutely deserved

I’m not fully awake but I think he had one on etnies. Correct me if I’m wrong.

After jensen left for Nike, Lakai had a shoe model (name escapes me) that they based all of the ads around Brady and I think even hinted he helped design it or something but refused to call it a pro model for some reason. Similar to what they did with Cody Chapman and Bannerot a few years ago.
It's insane that Wade didn't get a pro shoe the second he signed onto eS.

BDK - what about BTK?
You know, his name’s Dennis. He’s a human being.

JB kinda had one on Aeon(?) but the company folded before it came out(?)
Also Julian Stranger

He had a signature vegan Jameson cupsole hi. I think it wasn't considered a pro model though, but maybe one of the first Jameson cupsol high-tops?

I think Gustav only has a colorway.

Kader

They all only had colorways
Also not saying she deserves one but i’m surprised Leticia Bufoni only got a zoom Verona slip on colorway despite her popularity
-
Ben Gore and Kevin Coakley should have had pro shoes on State.
I think it would have helped State a little bit to at least have 1 pro model.
Manderson def should have a pro shoe on Cons, but that window is probably closed, same with Cromer.

I think Matt was supposed to get a Sheep shoe

Matt Beach had an adidas pro shoe during their early 2000s run. Big, chunky, ugly thing.

No, but we’d probably count his pro model

Are Curren Caples, Nyjah, Louie Lopez and Chris Millic the only people to get actual new pro shoes in the past 3 years? I can't think of nor find anyone else
-
Deedz is my vote

Dane Brady got the LRAB mid.

That was a colorway in bronze green / black.

Matt Hensley never got a pro shoe on Airwalk after innovating on the cut down low tops…that’s the biggest miss in skateboarding history.
Post career ‘pro’ shoe on Macbeth just rubs salt in the wound.
