apparently altamont, emerica, and sole-tech in general are all doing pretty shitty. reynolds contract is up this year and they cant afford to pay him what he's "worth" anymore. rumor has it he might buy Altamont from Sole-Tech, havent heard anything about his shoes though.


hmm

If the boss wasnt on emerica i'd be upset.
Dont think it would happen tho.

The day Reynolds gets kicked off emerica is the day i lose all of my respect for that company.
The boss defines that company

Not that I think this is going to happen but, remember, it is possible he could leave. There is so much more behind getting your contract terminated. There is $$ issues, other team riders, the need to keep the team fresh, etc. Sole Tech is struggling, if Reynolds left Emerica it would certainly be an issue of them not being able to keep his same pay, or having to take out some younger kids to do so.
For a European who has never been to Walmart...is Walmart really like this? Like place where blacks hang out and act all weird?

Just curious.

I agree that it would be more up to Reynolds than Sole Tech/Emerica because he is (arguably) their most valuable marketing asset in terms of team personnel

The only way I could see it happening is if they told him they could only pay him what they are now if they cut a bunch of the younger guys. Seems like that would be a tough move, but he I couldn't see him letting his Emerica Family get thrown to the wayside just so he can keep collecting his larger checks.

If Reynolds and Emerica part ways, he should pull a Huf and make his own damn shoes.

I'd buy them even if they were pure garbage, just cause he's a cool dude

if he ended up buying altamont then they could possibly afford to pay him what he'd need to stay with emerica? i dont know much about it, just some industry hear-say. basically the only companies that could pay him what he has been being paid would be nike and vans, but im sure he would never go to either. only time will tell!

yeah i doubt he really cares about the money like that seeing as how he's already pretty rich and is living a minimalist lifestyle. i really couldnt see him getting off Emerica unless he went on to start his own shoe company w/ bakerboys

Yea I don't either just playing in to the "if it happened" side.
