If a clip comes out, and I see too much swoosh on the dudes feet, I literally turn that shit off instantly, good skating/music or not. Can't stand that shit. Fucking gross eyesore.

That is the kind of comment that I think you will look back and feel a bit foolish that you wrote it.

Do you really think that honestly?

between having to deal with them on the business side and them basically just saturating everything with 85% of clips that come out these days, yeah, i pretty much mean it. if it's a subtle small swoosh, ok, but that huge offensive looking one and  most of the dudes in the video are wearing them, i'm good. i actually don't like many dudes on the swoosh, so it's easy to avoid. i enjoy olson clips but generally, he goes with a small swoosh shoe a decent amount of the time.

but you're partially right, watched an independent clip recently and a couple dudes were wearing blazers and dunks, i didn't instantly turn it off.

I can see your point now. If swoosh have left you with a bad taste in your mouth the I get it. And seeing them everywhere would be like rubbing it in.

This last convo got a chuckle out of me; I still haven't finished Nike's last video because there really is just too much swoosh on screen to stomach for me. Sucks because I love the way Mason, Ishod and Carlos skate.

Tangentially related, I genuinely miss watching Tiago skate in DC's, that just made so much sense aesthetically.

What are some recent Nike videos you’d recommend?

Yes but not all bad news.  They are relaunching Savier with BA as the TM, Tim O’Conner will be the creative director and Stefan will design an even better shoe.  Moving forward the core anti Nike folks will feel ok about buying Saviers much like hip youngsters feel good about buying cons currently

wut?

It’s a joke about how Nike financed savier and own cons.  BA, Stefan and O’Conner were all on savier.

[close]

do your homework

Do you think Nike didn’t finance savier and allow them access to all of their technology?  Currently Nike owns cons perhaps your homework is due.

I think it

Genuinely

I wouldn't turn it off though. That's a bit far.

[close]

I mean I get thinking it, but really turning it off because of shoes.

I hate Nike’s bad moves in skateboarding in the past but not watching because of a noticeable logo on a shoe it’s a bit much.

Imaging not watching Osiris The Storm because the team were wearing Osiris shoes. Now those shoes were visually offensive.

What about Adidas? are they somehow not as offensive to you?

I find the 3 stripes to be a bit jarring because my mind associates Adidas with bike stealing chavs in the uk. It was definitely the brand of choose for those tracksuit wearing wannabe gangsters. But I would never turn off a gonz or suciu part because of what’s on their feet.

[close]

Wuuuuut

That's funny. I'm Irish and the scumbag choice of wear is Nike. I would have thought the same was for the UK

[close]

it might be Nike now. for a long time it was Adidas shoes with Adidas track. bottoms

Reebok classics are what all the smack heads/shoplifters wear in Wales, has ben for years and years

Air Max TN is the number one selling Nike shoe in Australia. Its the official dboy shoe of the country.

Yes, with the rise of scooters skateboarding is no longer financially viable.  The are currently scouting the best underground German scooter legends.  The scooter division will be called Nike SS.  It stands for Nike street scooting.  Please don’t make this a Nazi reference and disrespect the street scooting scene

We've had skate nazi's and surf nazi's, scooter nazi's can't be that far down the timeline.
Do any scooter guys get hooked up with shoes? I know vans has had BMX guys on forever, wonder if scooter pros get hooked up officially or on the DL.
