Andrew Reynolds on NB#

[manysnakes]

I noticed that she totally disappeared from Reynolds' Instagram and I figured she probably decided to have nothing to do with the spotlight.

[Ricky Vaughn]

Maybe Stella got her groove back.

[HORSES]

If Reynolds is leaving Vans---well then Vans truly blew it at some point.

Also, someone early was talking about Stella Reynolds, I thought she was getting flowed from Element, but I don't see her on the team page. Did she go somewhere else?

Is she actually on Krooked?

Her stint on Element was pretty short lived, and she got on REAL pretty quickly, and even had her own Am Edition Oval Deck.

Fell in love with a Jamaican boy named Winston Shakespeare. Yes I read that book.

[Clemskiba]

just waiting for the Reynolds NB# shoe now

i'll take three pairs of these

[Skateboard Shuffle]

Tiago being the best dude right now with the best shoe out right now prob made Reynolds curious to try…

Reynolds try-curious confirmed.

[Kombuch-A-Holic]

I'm stoked on this. Would be awesome if it turns out this way. It's kind of a relief for me. I can stop buying Half Cabs now.lol Reynolds is the only reason I started skating half cabs. He reppd' so hard.  Picking up some 1010's or 808's soon.

Whoa I didn't know she got one of those boards on Real. I have no recollection of that at all. Thanks for filling in the gaps.

Reynolds, Hawk and Cab are legends but they’re old. I don’t think they can ditch Cab because his shoe is a big seller. But as much as I like the other two I don’t see how you build around them at their age. Even AVE and Rowley are old. As much as everyone here finds Berle annoying he’s consistently putting out good shit. Same with Kwalks.

If it were me I’d offer Curren (basically the most Vans dude ever) and Sandoval shoes. maybe sign TFunk, cause I think he’s fit.

I'd argue that Reynolds, Hawk and Cab have more reliable fans with way more disposable income and are able to more easily reach to general consumers and not just skaters.

I would say the Boss has carved a himself a great spot in the last few years and is doing a great job at keeping his career alive and deserves to be able to have input into a brand such as Vans, but with these recent brand changes and his high price tag then maybe thats what’s happening there and should NB be offering a signature shoe then it’s time to bounce! Seems that’s their brand strategy from recent interviews with their footwear designers.

On AVE I fully disagree here, whatever he puts out is amazing, truly one of the great . The others yeah get it but you can add Kwalks to that list too! Who cares what he puts out there. Can’t help but get annoyed just seeing that geezers face mate

[HORSES]

I always felt as though Vans prefer to work with people from the start of their careers, and they seem to be pretty loyal to that group.

I don’t know about the rest of you guys but I go through skate shoes way slower than I used to

[Jebediah]

Same, and a board lasts me forever. I only go through 2-3 a year now.

Same here but when I skated more I almost exclusively bought shoes on sale. Now I find myself splurging on the latest models since I don’t destroy them that fast. Back in the day I never bought a 95 euro half cab.

[rawbertson.]

i am pretty sure my stuff lasts me way longer now cause i do a lot less flip tricks

I’m the opposite- went through like four pairs of Sheep in a year because I liked Ed Templeton. Back then I had no obligations to spend money on anything but skate stuff. The other thing we’re all ignoring is teenagers. I buy my kid more shoes than I buy for myself. Kinda glad he doesn’t skate. If he did though I don’t think he’d be stoked on Reynolds shoes. He watches videos now and then and Deeds or AA are the guys he likes.

Im a 33 years old fanof all of them but I will not buy a shitty shoe or overpriced pair cause of it

Been wanting to skate in tiagos shoe for years but the nb distro doesn't exist anymore in my country so I must pay taxes and shipping... I'd rather buy shit for my family than a 200 usd shoe to skate on

That really sucks but I think that’s a problem independent of the shoe cost discussion in general and rather an import/distribution problem

Was he potentially trying the shoe on the low as his Vans contract situation plays out, and Spanky accidentally spilt the beans?

Or has Vans quickly seen the folly in their ways and done right by Reynolds?

The sky is grey and he’s not sweating profusely , no way this was filmed any time in the last 2 weeks cause it’s been way too hot to skate anywhere In LA

Maybe in the year, he had this line that he didn't use and decided to post it .. we'll see! To return to the subject, I may be crazy, but I would rather see Reynolds on New Balance than Vans! I don't know why.. I already imagine a magnificent pro model! I'm still shocked that Vans haven't done anything to it but a colorway..

I think its a lot more likely that Reynolds just thinks Tiagos are comfy and wears them as chillers than he's trying to trick everyone into thinking he's still on Vans by putting out an IG post with old footage.

I think it would be sicker if he got on NB#, but this is most likely the real reason.

I remember back like 7/8 years ago seeing photos of Jerry Hsu wearing Chuck Taylors, even though he was on Emerica for at least another 2 years. They're just shoes, most brands probably don't care as long as you aren't filmed in another brand's shoes. Koston was wearing Nike while on eS and Lakai all the time.

[flintstagram]

Yeah, and look at how that turned out… haha 

[pugmaster]

He is probably trying out different shoes to inform what he plans to do with his pro model. During the Hot Chocolate tour, MJ was wearing Reebok, even though he was on tour with lakai dudes while he was on the lakai team.

I expect he is going to make a great shoe that is more robust than a simple vulc that hurts our feet.

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

This isn’t the 90s though, I doubt he’d allow someone to put him up on insta in NB# without a reason, esp considering how closely sponsors follow and curate their riders’ social media.
It still weirds me out to not see him on emerica, but I think NB# would be a good match for him and his style.
