That's right.  All you Nike haters do realize you can't buy Nike SB from anywhere but skate shops, right?  So what the hell is the big deal about Nike SB when you can buy just about every other brand at the local mall from some lame trendy shop like Zumiez or PacSun?

Well if there "bullshit" is making good skate shoes and providing skaters with a wage, sponsoring more people than anyone else, funding skate spots (they added some new blocks at Southbank) and don't seem to shy with cash), helping "core" skate shops stay open due to selling "limited" Dunks in them.

Then yeah, if they help skating and are doing it properly (which they are now) I buy into it, but what about Adidas and Reebok, do you buy into there place in skateboaring ?

see i was against nike, until i went to the skate show for the place i work (ASR thingy where people try to get their products into your shop) and saw that every company had their head up their ass.  now i'm fine with nike.  i'd get into detail, but i don't feel like typing.  i recently got a pair of dunks and hated them, but i skated a friends zoom tre and they are really nice.  anyway, skateboarding stopped being "core" the day we stopped making boards by hand out of 2 X 4s.  so go for it nike you can't be worse than the guy at the éS booth trying to sell us a line of the "DJ ladd" pro model.

im not a sk-hater im a sk-liker.

Well to be honest Nike and Adidas pretty much entered the "skate scene" about the same time, Nike just fucked it up so horribly they had to take the next 8 years out to think about what they'd done, then they came back and have done nothing but things "properly", Adidas got a good team, then never tried to make "skate shoes" until years after they had things up and running, then they just kept in the background until about a month ago

Reebok on the other hand have some "life style" thing going on with Stevie, i've never even seen the Reebok's in real life, i don't even think anyone in the UK sells them, that whole "life style" is so far removed from real life for anyone in the UK, it's amazing, let alone 90% of the skaters out there - all it seems to do is sell to white middle class kids that want to be "gangsta", but let Stevie ride the dream it's all going to end in tears when no one buy's them

(i would like to add that i skated Reebok classics for about a year cas they cost Ģ20, and were shit loads better then most of the skate shoes out at the time - and i would go back to them - so it's not a diss to Reebok only a dig at "RBK/DGK" image)

I don't know, but nike seem to showing there real corp goal, the cash cow. Of course they had to be down to get back in ...now there in, I'd would  be very surprisd if there marketing campgain didn't change. As  the worlds largest sports shoe company, they are purley driven by what they can get out for the least they can put in. Even if that means large overheads at the start.

"jocks sucks" & $300 dollar skate shoes mmmmm getting nearer the nike we know and love

Anyone who thinks Nike gives a fuck and would still be around if skateboarding fell on it's arse again is fucking regular. But atleast you look cool, which is really all that counts these days

Each to there own, But I ain't got Nikes back and I'm fucking sure they ain't got mine.

Fuck nike. In and out of skateboarding without even blinking an eye. I know where there loyalty is. Other skate shoe companies are just as hard after our dollar, but fuck, doesn't Gavin own DVS? Don't Howard, Carroll, and apparently now Koston own Lakai? These people are skaters, members of the community. Sure, they want to make money, but if skateboarding was less popular, these guys wouldn't phase out the skate line.


Also, isn't "nike 6.0" enough of a reason to hate them?





If not that, how about annoying ass sneaker heads?

If you run a company, it doesn't nessesary mean that you own it.

It's like that you are a captain of a ship, but the ship is owned by some other guy who pay you to cruise that ship well and make good money with it.

And that is the case with the most of "skater owned companies"...

(Tuesday, 1.30am, back from the pub, it's time to let rip)

Ahhhhh the financing of skateboard companies.

Vans. Rowley? Dustin? Cardiel? Jeff Spicoli? Since 66? Core right?

Owned by the Vanity Fair Corporation (http://www.vfc.com/sub_pages/our_brands.php). They turned over $1,566.8 million in the last quarter!!!

Cliche was bought by Adidas, made part of the Salomon group and then sold on to a Finnish Investment Consortium.

And if it isn't that it's the skaters who run the smaller companies having to front up to the bank when they need financing to get their next run of boards made. The demand is there and they have "market credibility" but damn if the shops could just pay them for the last run. So the money there is skipping the skaters pocket entirely and landing safely back in the bank.

"innovation is driving women’s fitness, nike skate and sport culture toward new levels of value and credibility." - Mark Parker, CEO, Nike Inc. Nike Annual Report 2006.

Look at that. Value and credibility in womens fitness AND skateboarding. I think they were talking about golf clubs the previous paragraph.

Skateboarding has already been bought, sold, packaged and sailed down the river. We were just too busy being cool to notice.

you have to be a smaller company to "not be owned" i'd fucking laugh my ass off it Consolidated got bought out (or had been) by Nike that would be fucking classic and it was all "reverse" advertising

not since they dropped gino.....wow...another slap moment....

Nothing to do with whether they belong in skateboarding or not but Gino is 100% on Nike.

Consolidated should thank Nike.......the Anti-Nike campaign is the only thing keeping Consolidated on the radar.

Yeah no shit. What got them started on this holy war against Nike? I mean I know one of their artists had some involvement in the Send Help hi's but is there a reason or just because Consolidated is 'one of the core-skate' brands so they have to play the part also?

Do nikes belong in skateboarding? What the fuck? Do you think es, dvs, dc, ... do belong in skateboarding by producing a line with 9 fashion shoes and one skate shoe?
Do you think all the fucking board companies creating some kind of image just to sell their boards to some stupid kids who follow around. Itīs not about skateboarding anymore.
Do you think Muska would live in Hollywood Hills if only skateboarders would have bought his stuff. Definitly not.
Do you all want to see a kid kickflipping El toro (for example)? No itīs for the kids who donīt understand the beautyness of a flatland line.
If any of the so called skatebrands would really care about skateboarding they would show what it is about: Style and creativity.
The exception prooves the opposite.

Everybody who is selling wants to earn money. If it is nike or vans. The one who does the best, earns the most.

Do you know what? Iīve been riding blank decks for the past five years and Iīve been downloading all the videos from the Internet. If they would sell a skateoard whith the kids menu at fucking Mc Donalds, i would skate it.Do you think any skater would suffer hunger because of that.
My contribution to skateboarding was, building two new curbs for my local skatepark.

Skateboarding isnīt the same anymore. If I go to a skatepark nowadays thereīs a bunch of people skating. But when teyīve done they go home. Back in the days we were a crew hanging out all day being friends.
Nowadays itīs like going to the gym.

Skateboarding has been sold out long time ago. The only thing that canīt be sold, is you on your board (perhaps barefooted),
having a good time.

let them come and let them go... the dunk craze is over and so is the "SB" category of Nike. It'll phase out in a few years. Can you say trend?
Title: Re: do nikes belong in skateboarding
Post by: hesh_trash on August 30, 2006, 02:14:39 AM
Can gino, janoski, ba, mulder etc all be wrong?
People bought and wore nikes for skating before nike marketed to skaters. all they've done now is hook up a bunch of rippers and improve their shoes for the purpose of skteboarding. That's bad?
I can see both sides of the argument. Who cares, vans rowleys or tnts for me.

Skate in whatever shoes you want do they belong in skateboarding? For sure.. without them in the 80's there would be no DC, Lakai, DVS,etc  they all started with ripoffs of original Nike shoes and that is how they made their mark by ripping off Adidas, Nike etc.. so i say let them live... no one is forcing anyone to do anything.. freewill is why we skate so shut up and do you thing or don't do it but make your own choice.. please end topic now...

that was canada's greatest athlete....i think it was steve lombardo....i think vans could learn a thing or two from nike...like put out more half cabs and in better materials...those croc ones were super good but the run was so limited....more limited than a nike limited run..if that makes sense...

HELL NO!  skating is totally a jock sport now. when you go to a spot no more friendliness and camraderie. everyone is trying to show how dope they are. checking shoes and boards to see who is sponsored. kids who get ANYTHING lord it over everyone else at the local spot. give a kid a shop board and he thinks he's god. its nike, dew, oakley, ALL these NON SKATE companies buying their way in, and with them they bring their marketing teams and agents and all the bs that is burning skating up. i mean look around you at the spot next time. you dress like all the other kids and they all dress like you. there will never be another gonz cause skating isnt that original anymore. minis are coming back...one bright spot. i dont like the nikes and the jocky kids who wear them who were too small or antisocial for football, so they just brought their jocky attitudes to skating. JOCKS MONEY AND SKATING DO NOT MIX.

america STILL sucks.
