Andrew Reynolds on NB#

[DooksRiserPads]

Discuss.

[Mean salto]

Didn't he just have a halfcab out? Maybe he's just trying stuff out for ideas for a vans shoe. Maybe he was only on vans for the tony Hawk game. Maybe whatever...has anybody even seen those li nings in person?

[GardenSkater77]

Old man feet…

[Ricky Vaughn]

Could see him on Reebok

[lurker_and_poster]

Didn’t gave much about one picture with NB.
But I had bigger expectations from Vans / Reynolds
collaboration then just some halfcab color way.
At least some new classic pro shoe/ full softgood line and a dedicated video project.
So I am little disappointed- and I think  Andrew had expected little more from that deal too.
Ok Corona was happening - but absolutely no output product and project wise - it was useless to buy him out from emerica.

This would be pretty crazy if it's true... let's see how many pages this thread will get before we get any kind of confirmation

If he were still on Vans he wouldnt be wearing anything else.  They also seemingly clipped the Birdman’s wings so nothing’s sacred.  I bet NB# would give Reynolds a proper pro shoe, but I’d be curious to know if Vans is downsizing their marketing/team budget in tandem with the layoffs, and this is an effect

[augustmoon]

He probably wouldn’t have let a picture of him wearing New Balance get out if he didn’t want it to be seen and talked about

Nice abuser shoes dork

I’m more concerned with his head having fallen off his body.

Dude, chill. The man is nearing 40 (or is he already 40?), and put out tons of footage wearing Vans and was posting shoes and tagging Vans like crazy on his instagram, had two colourways come out and should have more soon (if he's still on). I think they both got their money's worth.

[LebowskisRug]

Does anyone else they skate with wear NB? Coulda taken Reynolds head and cut someone else's off and didn't paste?

He was probably posting their shoes more than any other Vans pro I can think of. Would be pretty dumb to cut him.

[mynameisnotjeff]

I still would’ve liked that rumor of Reynolds on Adidas. It felt right.

This is basically it, but more so to do with this second contract. His contract was up in July.

A chunk of his latest 'following' on Instagram are other NB# riders and staff. It's done.

Yes but, my dear friend, this presumes a confirmation is forthcoming.
All I’ve got so far are eggs: no chickens yet.
Too early to count ‘em if you ask me.

[doomstation55]

Are we sure he didn’t just finish mowing the lawn?

[Cuban_Lynx]

Chill guys, those are his lawn mowing shoes.

[Pete]

Yeah do they make a shoe that looks like that classic grey 992 or whatever it is that everyone wears (“from supermodels in Europe to Dads in North American backyards” or whatever that old ad was.) ?

Or is he just wearing the same shoe every old man wears?

I still haven’t fully processed him being off Emerica yet.

I am not worried about Andrews or Vans money…
Even in his age today I am sure Andrew expect more from a partnership then just some colorway and his  social media presence.
Andrew gave some years to them, as I remember he owned a share on Altamont and Emerica. He didn’t gave up  for a retirement home.
I am sure he want to get a  step further with Vans (and the financial / production / purchasing power of VF behind)

Stella in high school now right? Reynolds just paying for college.  But like this is weird . He doesn’t fit NB at all.

You can see the snake tattoo on his hand. It's definitely Reynolds body and head.

[sus]

heard through the grapevine that the boss wanted to do a pro shoe and was basically told “you got your colorway” and that was that. Especially after having as much creative freedom as he did at Emerica, I’m sure that’s gotta be pretty disappointing.

That being said, NB# seems like they take their riders input heavily into consideration when it comes to designs and colorways, so that might be a good move for Reynolds if he’s looking for some level of creative freedom with a larger company

[doublesteveburger]

[Paul Cicero]

He’s the greatest of all time and Vans absolutely blew it by not aligning themselves with him 100%

I mean, It’s Andrew fucken Reynolds, and you just give him a colourway? How a brand like Vans can claim to be this legacy skate brand and blow this is beyond me.

I’m just showing my age I know, but I miss him in Emerica.

[pointandclick]

crazy they let reynolds go but keep alot of dead weight, and people who have had pro models that stunk and ended up in the sales bin

[Candied cigarettes]

I feel like all companies should be chomping at the bit to do whatever Reynolds wants and support him in every way.
