Just noticed he took Nike out of his insta bio.

Honestly, pretty crazy if true.
Certainly the end of an era.

Doubt adidas would take him?

Could be of shoe sponsor.

To be fair doubt he brings in much money

If true it does make sense, Gino is the epitome of coolness in skateboarding and Adidas is so much cooler than Nike right now...

OK, he does not skate much these days but he has that LEGEND status.

Nike probably realized that his shoe colorways weren't generating any benefit to the company compared to what they were paying him

good he can get a real job now and he was biting virgil ablohs nike shoe with his. didnt bring anything to the table.

Deekay · « **Reply #15 on:** October 21, 2020, 12:54:56 PM »

I just wish Gino had a fat check forever, honestly. Would be cool to see a Gino Adidas shoe though.

shannamal · « **Reply #16 on:** October 21, 2020, 01:05:36 PM »

i'll repeat what i said a month ago when we talked about this. gino has brought nothing to the table for nike in a decade. he's clearly over it. plus, that garbage black/green shoe was hideous.

Would rather watch Gino walk around in Campus than Blazers.

He needs to steal Guy and BA from Nike as well.

I think he may be referring to Gino being the last of the OG Nike SB team. Right? I think BA got on just a little while after.

not that it was incredible, but that Nike SB Poets shoe was only 9 months ago

if you get a 3000 - 4000 dollar check a month i want to see you bleed for it.
people live in poverty and you want to tell me doing some balancing on a skateboard toy over 15 years ago explains your fat sports contract paycheck in the year 2020?
and people really wonder why there isnt any money in professional skateboarding.
id be ashamed to call myself a professional and not produce anything. even if its a shabby kickflip like tk did. if you dont come of as a psychso or a kook people will understand. at least you did the bare minimum of your job.

i wonder if he lays in bed at night staring at his ceiling wondering "was my push not good enough for nike to feet my family for 20 years?"

Imagine thinking Virgil Abloh had any originality
Gino is still on the team page. It’s like Girl riders on Anti-Hero wood, makes the other brand cooler. Judging the Nike team page Nike ain’t that cool, more the opposite. It’s just shoes on a mid 40s dude.

photo share web

gino brought so much to the table when he came up with the designs

busch · « **Reply #27 on:** October 21, 2020, 03:14:51 PM »

Gino isn’t exactly a “personality”, he’s quite the opposite actually. We like him for his incredible skateboarding which he doesn’t do anymore, so why does anyone care?

“Designs” all these dudes do is make colorways

I like the swoosh up on the toes, sb should run that.
Maybe a genius designer can move the swoosh somewhere else next spring.
So much talent at Nike
