Andrew Reynolds on NB#

[flintstagram]

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.

I hope this is true, because I’d fucking love to see him rocking nb# full time.

[Captain Creampie]

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.

Of course not, it’s a blatant breach of any contract to be wearing a competitor’s footwear.. especially from their skate segment, shit is way more serious these days! Vans certainly wouldn’t be considering a pro show therefore he’s looking to bounce, that’s how it’s probably playing out. he’s approached almost every footwear brand in the last 5 years NB most likely the last ditch attempt to remain in control of a deal he expects and deserves.
 

[TMKF]

I’ve been collecting NB for over a decade but their skate shoes are trash. Reynolds doing the sponsor hopping as his age and this point in his career is cringe tbh. I understand the guy just wants to get paid but he has other revenue streams and if it were me I’d be thinking about the legacy I want to leave over a check. Even Vans was a weird flex and he was so desperate for them, his page became a Vans ad even before he officially got on. Tragic shit imo…

It’s like a band who just keeps reforming and gets worse each time. I honestly don’t care to see Reynolds skating anymore he had his time and it was incredible.

I also don’t care to see NB numeric on anyones feet until they figure out some better shoe designs because their USA & UK lines are timeless. I’d like to see some other brands get in the mix, I heard asics is coming soon and hope they can build a good team, the shoes I’ve seen already look way better than NB#.

[Mean salto]

What's the minimum time somebody can spend on a brand and leave without it being sponsor hopping? 3 years seems decent enough. If you knew someone who worked somewhere for 3 years then wanted to move onto somewhere else would you really be like "pffft already changing?"

[manysnakes]

Fellas is it cringe for a 40-something to change employers?

[AsianVegan]

Sponsor hopping? He’s had 2 shoes sponsors in about 20+ years.

how dare the greatest street skateboarder of all time (who i don't care about anymore btw) know his value and try his best to set himself up for a comfortable life in his 50s

I've seen this take a couple times, seems a little weird. Reynolds is a multimillionaire. He's the CEO of Baker Boys Distribution, not to mention being the sole owner of Baker itself, so even if he quit being sponsored altogether he'd continue to rake in cash for the rest of his life. I'm not saying he isn't on New Balance, I have no idea, and if he is it might be for the money, but he definitely doesn't need a new shoe contract to retire comfortably.

[MexicanSpaniard]

Heard he's their new janitor

[Narcissus]

NB# are really fucking ugly. Some Sesame Street “brought to you by the letter ‘N’” shit. Gross.

Reynolds looks great in a Sk8-Hi. We need a brown/gum Drew-Cab. Let him put a little diamond on it, if he wants.

Go to https://bizfileonline.sos.ca.gov/search/business and look up Baker Brand, Inc. as well as Baker Boys Distribution, Reynolds is the sole agent listed on both. There's also a link below noting his position as CEO of Baker Boys. I can't speak to the websites stating his net worth, but Baker itself is inarguably one of the most popular brands going right now, and has been for a very long time, so it stands to reason he's making good money.

Maybe to release footage in them, but that's not true. People wear other brands as chillers, etc. for years. It happens all the time and we see photos of it all the time. There are even stories of people skating other brands to test them out when designing a new shoe. Years ago, someone posted on here that they saw BA skating a pair of Vans before the Project BA came out and they asked him about it and he said he was skating a bunch of brands to get some ideas for a shoe he was designing with Nike.

Templeton has owned a board company for two decades, multiple shoes, and is a very well established multi medium artist with international gallery showings.

Muska has had some of the best selling shoes of all time pre athletic footwear entering the game and just flipped his Hollywood home to move to Ohio.

If these dudes didn’t totally fuck up, and they clearly didn’t, it would not be hard to be a multi millionaire, Mr. Provolone.

I don't know why people have a hard time believing this. Those celebrity net worth sites are usually bunk, but that doesn't mean that someone like Ed Templeton hasn't amassed a small fortune in his multiple decades owning a brand during what was almost certainly the most profitable era of skateboarding. Remember that Ed would stick the Toy Machine logo on basically anything - I still have a Toy Machine keychain that I bought at Target in like 2001. Merchandising little tchotchkes when your brand is hot is how people get really rich, not to mention his career in art, numerous shoes, etc.

There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that Reynolds is worth several million dollars, though I have no idea how much liquid cash he has on hand, since so much of it is probably tied up in his various companies. The liquidity issue might be why he is interested in having his own "Half-Cab" type of shoe, where the checks from a multi-billion dollar corporation just roll in every month.

Andrew is not only one of the best street skateboarder of his generation- he grow also into an
successful business guy. Keep in mind where he is coming from. All brand deals emerica and own brands baker Altamont etc. etc aside - he was
one of the main character in the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater video game 1999 - this was his first million. After that Pro Skater 2, Pro Skater 3, Pro Skater 4, Underground, American Wasteland, Proving Ground, Pro Skater HD, Pro Skater 5, and Pro Skater 1 + 2. and also  EA's Skate 3 was following.

He left Emerica (part owner ship) for a more interesting deal (Vans/ VF coop) - if the contract is not extended, and was not as successful as expected (for what ever reason)
he will look for something new.

Wish him all the best for a good deal. Really woud like to have a halfcab like mid cupsole pro shoe from him on vans. But coud life with a NB one too.

[LebowskisRug]

I think why people have a hard time believing the net worth is because both dudes squandered a shit ton of their money during their prime by partying and spending a lot of it, like many pro athletes do. With that said smoking crack for a few years living in the Emerica house isn't like basketball players buying Ferraris for their friends.

I can't see Baker really tanking. Look at Crail- they've been around for nearly 30 years despite having massive team changes, losing relevancy for a bit, and failing at selling a bunch of weird soft goods. Reynolds can spot talent really well and he can just skate for fun and have a cash cow filling a mutual fund or some sorta portfolio he no doubt has someone managing for him now.
