From a financial standpoint alone, it's crazy that they booted Zion and kept Terp.
Keep in mind I'm stoked Terp is still on. He's still on the team page, at least. Although Raven is still listed on the team page, so I don't know how accurate that is.

I like that skaters have no agency in the matter.  They only leave Nike if they are cruelly culled from the roster, not that perhaps Adidas or Vans are offering these skaters more money or firmer spots on the team. 

Good thing there isn’t an imminent Nike Sb video about to drop featuring GT and Oski otherwise this thread might look silly

Weird how at least two chocolate riders have changed shoes on this NY trip

[toque]

Was kinda feeling fs180's unhinged energy in this thread.

The dude that wrote a bunch of paragraphs about the Stay Flared tour or whatever is pretty wild as well. I wonder if he goes back and watches videos of the demos and thinks about how much he appreciates skater-operated shoe companies.

lol that post belongs in 2005. yall are acting like nike hasnt done this before.


literally nobody is wearing emericas unless they get them for free and or work for soletech. emerica peaked after the reynolds 3, theyve been running the same 'white kids who listen to alternative rock and feeble handrails' shit for way too long.

Has raven even done anything but a couple Instagram clips here and there and maybe a clip or two in some tour vids since he got on two years ago? I feel like he wanted to fully jump ship to like antihero or hockey  something when Berle left and that didn’t work out so he just gave up and started his towing business.

Side note I went to the Nike store in Santa Monica last week and they had all of three SB shoes in the entire store and it was just one Nyjah , one Shane and I wanna say a gt blazer. I know they try and sell more through online and skate shops for the sb line but 3 shoes is pretty low stock for a corpo store . Even the adidas store has at least 5-6 models from the sb line in store

vans actually pushes the pro models pretty hard in store from what I’ve found the last week hunting down Gilbert’s. They had at least 2-3 colorways of pretty much every pro model. And that’s all while having much smaller retail spaces than either of the corpo skate competitors on the same block

Did they change their team page over the last day? I don’t see KA or Al Davis listed anymore.

[rukes]

I heard Nike is trying to get rid of Kevin Terpening but they just keep getting his voicemail which is set to the tune of Joey Scarburys 'Believe it or not' and goes something like...

"Believe it or not, Kevin isn't at home, please leave a message, at the beep. I must be out or I'd pick up the phone, where could I be?"

Kevin Terpening really wants to make a big entrance at the ball, with Nike on his arm.

Aurelien Giraud is off too. I learnt that through French media.

Very weird, il looks like they're getting rid of all the sportiest dudes....

Goddamn these have to be the ugliest fucking shoes ever made.

[Mr. Stinky]

Goddamn these have to be the ugliest fucking shoes ever made.

These look like they told PRod he had to use materials from the scrap pile for his new colorway.

[Ayanami]

I dont see why nike would keep the skate program. most of the shoes have been a bust except for janoski and dunks, but janoskis have fallen out of favor and dunks don't need to be in SB.

I was about to disagree with you but I realized the blazers I’m skating aren’t even SB but still get the job done.

These are all of Prods infamous colorways plastered onto one shoe... Just give us the original colorways instead.
