Andrew Reynolds on NB#

[Atiba Applebum]

Doesn’t Reynolds talk about how he couldn’t afford it and sold it for a loss in epicly later’d too? If he bought in 2007-8 and sold a few years later he probably lost a lot of money on it…

He also seems to have had a marriage end and CA is a no fault state.

I think his choice for new Balance is also for protection .. Unfortunately, I was a very big loyal to emerica for years, but I find that their shoes no longer protect like before .. same for Lakai .. I I'm now skating new Balance, and I feel totally safe and the shoes have really good cushioning..

Unfortunately for the real skate brands that remain in my heart, I think the two shoe brands that really protect today are Nike and NB. (Well it's a 30-year-old skateboarder who tells you that haha)

You're fried if you think Reynolds isn't still a top pro and doesn't deserve a shoe deal

[close]

Reynolds is like skateboarding's Tom Brady but instead of controversy, everyone loves him. And he has nearly a million Instagram followers, which puts him in the top tier of pro skaters with social media influence.

Agree, only pros on his level that I can think of are AVE, Kalis and Hawk

I just hope this doesn’t mean more shake junt colorways on another brand

[close]

I hope NB is classy enough to not do a shake junt colorway no one needs green and yellow shoes.

[close]

Um...

[close]

This is the unofficial shake junt color way. The official design has three blunts laid out to make the N.

[close]

it looks more like the Oregon Ducks colorway to me

[close]

Would you accept Green Bay Packers?

[close]

Def not Oregon Ducks - that’s kinda Nike’s home team

Good point, and Adidas lol

I think the argument is more that we likely trend older on these boards and have grown up with Reynolds and love him.    I have no idea how 14-20 years feel about him and likely sponsorship dollars are being used to bolster pros that those kids will love and follow for a decade and I don’t think Reynolds necessarily is that in their eyes.   

Reynolds should be someone who has earned the right to live off of skateboarding in some capacity forever, but the metric for top pro isn’t necessarily connected to longevity and talent.

I am 20 a lot of my skate friends are around the same age, we all love Reynolds

I saw his colorway all over when it came out, and was especially popular with BMX riders.

I know he's on the down slope of the career but some of the comments in here makes it seem like he's Tom Penny back on es levels of milking it. His latest baker part proves he's still looking solid on his board and deserving of a shoe deal for at least another 5 years.

He used to set the trends though. Like when I got into skating all the CCS catalogs were basically all Andrew Reynolds Emericas or Altamont products and before that Krew. Everyone at my skatepark wanted to be him or dress like him. Now he's the one following the trends.

I think the problem is expecting a 44 year old to set trends in an industry who's prime trend setters are between 18 and 25. I also don't think he's following trends, hes just paying attention. Look at the team he's built. It's his job to be able to see and flow with trends. If he was following, he would be slappying in way baggier pants on 9.0 boards. He's kinda just skating like himself with lower impact obstacles.

Skating low impact in a variety of understated clothing, baseball caps, and sensible shoes. This is a trend I'm fully backing (and currently taking a part in)

Reynolds in 1010s in the new supreme video

pretty safe to say hes on at this point

[oyolar]

Also, building a mini-skatepark in the backyard is a very niche amenity. Unless you sell it to a skateboarding family, that actually will drive the price down because 99% of the people interested in the house will need to spend money to tear it out and re-do the backyard and they will want that money to come off the cost of the home.

In terms of shoe deal, it seems clear he's on NB but I'm holding out hope this is all a wild mis-direct and we get a "welcome back!" part in the new Emerica video dropping soon.

Hyped on this! Those brown Tiago's look great. I've mostly been wearing 1010's these past couple years, they're tied with Dunks for my favorite shoe.

FWIW this is what $2.7M gets you in west hollywood off sunset.

3 bed, 2.5 bath on .16 acre. Wherever he got a house with enough of a yard for a park for $2M seems like a steal.

For what I paid for my 4 bed, 3 bath house on .75 acre in Delaware I couldn't get a 1 bed .5 bath condo in Long Beach

Fuck if they do put him on they have to give him some colours of the 1010 even tho it's tiagos shoe I'm sure he'll understand. Throwbacks to the Reynolds 1 that dark brown pebble leather with black and the navy with grey mumma mia

I'm new to the NB game. Picked up some 212's and 440 highs the other day. Some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I'm a huge fan of the Converse Fastbreak Pros, which is what prompted me to consider the 440 highs. Don't think I'll be going back to the Fastbreak. The 440 highs felt amazing from the first kickflip.

Am I the only one that got blisters on my Achilles from 440s? Two pairs did me dirty so I gave up on em. I had the Westgate NBs and liked how they felt but the sole wore out too fast

Are you costing from like 2006 or whatever? Housing prices and inflation have skewed that a lot. But regardless, the point stands that just because he had an expensive house at one point, knowing what we know about the fickle nature of getting paid in skating, that doesn’t mean he’s a multi-millionaire right now.

Delaware: No sales tax, personal property tax, or skating distance of cherry park tax. Damn what a place.

It surprises me how often I forget that Delaware exists and is a state.
