Nyjah, Cookie, and Dominick Walker of Element

[mareo]

nigel's probably gonna start some bullshit company like "Send Skateboards" that somehow does okay with the 7-13 crowd as well as 24 year old manchildren. its gonna suck shit and everybodys gonna hate it. They'll come out with a video called "Born to Shred". Nyjah has a 25 minute ender part to like 6 travis scott songs. the hellfire will never end.

still a better company than numbers

nike is never gonna make hardgoods, they could make billions producing other stuff, which is all they care about. the only thing they'd do is license the swoosh to put on chinese hardwear. they will make zero money making skateboard components and they know this. i'd rather think they cut the sb program and all riders and have some models release under regular nike, basically killing their skateprogram, since their goal is to sell their shoes to hypebeasts and as many regular people as possible anyway. making hardgoods is a pure waste of resources for them.

I could see them cutting the skate program soon.

I mean everyone buys sb shoes now. Including brain dead hypebeasts. They really dont need skaters at all. They may keep a select few.

Well Hypebeasts wore Nike SB before skaters did. Skaters didn’t wear nikes like that until the late 2000s when vulcanized shoes became a trend, because people started skating more transition. The Blazer, Bruin and eventually the Janowski were the highest quality version of that type of shoe so that’s when you started seeing the takeover.

I’m not sure if they would cut the program, but don’t expect to see that many new pro shoes in the future. They have a pro shoe to accommodate for every major style of skating at this point.

Starting his brand for sure, he even says: "New beginnings are in the works and I can’t wait to share it with you guys"

This is going to be the company no-one ever asked for.

nyjah corpo superteam plus david loy focusing solely on dropping youtube videos

[Billy Bitchcakes]

If he starts a company it's definitely gonna be Send Skateboards or Sendit Skateboards. Nygel, Leticia, Dom Walker, Chase Webb, Loy. Probably Dinner as well because it already couldn't get any worse by that point so why not. They'll probably drop a full length straight away which is why you can always see Ty Evans lurking in the background of those send Saturday videos like he isn't too old to be jumping school fences with these idiots. Entirely EDM soundtrack interspersed with shots of them coked off their face at raves

[Murge]

If Loy leaves birdhouse. Birdhouse will be less bad.

Johny bongos and nyjah off element?

Kinda wanna drive to pac sun and buy a shirt rn

Bill pepper re issue?

[Roy Machine]

I think the name of their quirky group is piles so this is what nyjahs company will probably be called.

Their videos will look like RDS Skateboard Party but with techno music.

Everybody who is assuming Primitive is delusional and never payed attention to Primitve's content/art direction. There is no way Nyjah would fit on primitive.

[DM]

I reckon he'd be a good fit for Shaun White Supply Co.

[slapcurbsnotwomen]

Guys i think it's time for I&I revival

Hahahah yes, who was on the team back in the day again?

Unfortunately, I know the ins and outs of these three leaving, and I'm here to spill the beans 

-Nyjah's agent asked Element to build a sub-brand like Nike/Jordan. They told Element Nyjah was building his own company, which ended up not being true, and zero logistics were set up on Nyjah's side. Not linked to Faze Clan . He got a contract offer he didn't sign (Not sure if that's true or not) for the same money and more.
-Looks like Cookie was offered a higher pro salary and an artist contract to support him financially beyond his pro $. No idea the amount but was good from I have been told. A local store saw the collection he "co-designed". No idea if it was good or not.
-Dominick was offered a pro deal before '21 summer. Seems like he turned down an Axion contract and has been focused on modeling the Drew line. He asked for way more money even when he has no other sponsor in place.

Not defending Element's side, but let's do not forget there is much more to the story than an Instagram post :-)

God I hope cookie ends up somewhere good that give him the shine he deserves. Also hope he was able to bank some of that dirty dirty times square element mall money for the few months he was pro for them.

i know he ended up just playing bongos and getting bam re-issues going butwhat was he actually supposed to be doing at element?

[dannyprovolone]

what even is element these days?

[Bob Johnson]

Alas, we await the Nyjah brands nobody needed.

[sometimeperhaps]

Alas, we await the Nyjah brands nobody needed.

This is the next logical step. He doesn’t make sense on any other brand, and has enough people hanging on his every move to support the brands. I wonder how bad the first release it gonna look. Probably on some berries brand level.

Finally, maybe Corey Duffel can get on and finally ride them “tires” he’s always talking about.
