It was cool of Tony to just straight up say that he no longer rode for Vans, instead of dancing around the topic. I know he's definitely not hurting for shoes, and I know this isn't the first time he's been without a shoe sponsor, but it still seems weird that the most recognizable skateboarder of all time doesn't currently have a shoe deal.
I remember his Nine Club interview where he said that one of the reasons he went with Vans was because they were going to help him with his foundation and get more skateparks built all over the world. After reading the last few posts in this thread and hearing about Vans recent losses, and what COVID did to their contest series that he was supposed to announce, it now makes sense why he no longer rides for Vans.
I am curious to see where he goes next. It would be cool to see him back on a smaller company like Lakai.
