He said a shoe sponsor
In all honesty I liked Sammy's interview after he first got on Globe, where he basically admitted he had to make a decision between being 'the cool guy who gets flowed Cons' or actually going with Globe who had offered him decent money, travel expenses, and a shoe. He said a lot of people get caught up in trying to be cool and it's the reason they never become pro skaters. Here he is now, a pro skater, able to live off skateboarding so good on him.
And to be fair, his shoe isn't bad.
