Andrew Reynolds on NB#

[manysnakes]

It’s insane that fucking Elijah Berle got a pro shoe and not Reynolds.

[Johnny $witchblade]

Maybe he should try being a mediocre influencer type skateboarding. Apparently that's a future we should all embrace

[Johnny $witchblade]

 

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

I agree. Reynolds knows better than these corporate stooges. A true tastemaker at this point

[fried]

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

Makes sense. I was told NB is looking to make more pro model shoes.

Did Cab ask Stella out or something?

No, it's insane that Berle was basically assigned the shoe that he got his name put on.

More insane that Vans slept on Reynolds so damn hard.

Vans fuqqin up big time if true

[fulltechnicalskizzy]

The wheels on the bus go round and round.

It seems as though a changing of the guard (the youth) is amongst us. Again, as always.

I laughed at this. My wife asked me why I laughed so hard. I had to explain who Reynolds is, his shoe sponsorship situation, Who Cab is, Cab’s popular  shoe, Cab’s dating situation, who Stella is, and how the joke is funny.

Basically no sex for me tonight.

LMAO

[augustmoon]

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.

also Hawk hasn't been listed on their site for several months now too, looks like a bunch of corpo geniuses over there (see the vans layoff thread). 

fully convinced Vans is completely blowing it now, and gonna start bracing myself for a downward turn in regards to quality, availability, and just their skate program in general.  expect your favorite shoes to get cancelled or be made with shit materials.  they're being run from a boardroom.  we've all seen this before.

good thing Last Resort exists

I think NB runs the best ship in the shoe game.

Underrated comment

[big_kev_215]

If all of this is true it seems asinine for Vans to completely blow it by not fully getting behind Reynolds.  He’s one of the few legends, legacy pros, whatever you want to call it who can still legitimately drop a relevant, quality street part on an AVE-like level of relative competitiveness.  When some of these older pros hop to new sponsors late in the game it makes me kind of roll my eyes asking what’s the point  (Michael V cough cough) but Reynolds is on the complete opposite end of the spectrum with what he offers. I’d 100% buy a Reynolds NB shoe.

I can see Reynolds on NB#. It’s not piss drunx Reynolds anymore he’s the skateboarders skateboarder. And new balance team is very skate rat friendly. Like no gimmicks just true skateboarders. If that makes sense.

I’d by a Reynolds NB shoe if it looked good but most new balances look good.  Plus Reynolds likes cups and NB cups are tight. 508 I got for skating I wear as a chiller it’s too comfy.

I hope he gets on. And they use him to his full potential and he do the same for NB. Out of the corpo brands (that’s including vans)I feel NB is the one doing it right.

If this was long and drawn out I been drinking. So you know it is what it is.

[Urtripping]

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

I laughed at your story about telling your wife all of that, and my missus asked why. I went with not telling her. I might have sex tonight.

I feel that Vans puts way less effort into their skate line than people think. Other than the Crockett High, which is a cupsole chuck taylor with vans accents, and finally making a skate line that wasn't crap most of their shoes are basically the same model with a few twists. They put way more effort into the holographic checkerboard slip ons or baby shoes that look like sharks.

Vans doesn't seem like a company that values rider input beyond a few silhouette options. Not like you see from NB where riders tune midsoles, insoles, materials, etc. They don't have the history but have an interest in making continually better products.

Also has anyone ever bought skate stuff at a Vans store? In HS you could pay the dude there $20 and he would drop you off a deck in the trash bin out back cuz they just never kept inventory.
