You guys are really acting like Vans wronged Reynolds somehow other than gave and fulfilled a three-year contract.
I’m sure Reynolds knew he wasn’t getting a pro shoe when he signed on, just like he knows he’s getting one with NB. He seemed happy he was there and enjoyed skating the classic shoes.
We may have wanted a shoe, but all the parties involved knew where they stood. If anything, it probably gave him more bargaining power when striking up his next deal to show that there was still demand there
