Best pro to never get/not yet have a pro shoe.

[Coastal Fever]

GT is a weird one because technically he does, but that’s debatable.  Miles...  Struggling to think of any other pros, past or present, who’ve been anywhere near their level, for anywhere near as long, that never got a pro model.

A Carlos Young Ipath around the time In Search of Roots & Culture came out. Pro for Uprize around that time. A Mike York DVS

Did Malto, BDK or Worrest ever get shoes?

[Paul Cicero]

Has Wade D ever had even a colour way?

Did Malto, BDK or Worrest ever get shoes?

malto had 2 or 3 etnies, worrest had 3 es, bdk only had a couple colorways

[matty_c]

Good question!

I thought about this all the way home lol. Was gonna say something like it would be a man am from back in the day, but I think you’re probably right to say miles

Wades a good answer, too. I think he had a colourway. Do colourways count?

[fur lined sea]

Es should’ve given Wade a shoe 10 years ago.

AO comes to mind. Shoul've had one on Vans bit dipped before it got released. He had some 917 collab (Nike?) Later in, but it wasn't his shoe per se.

Someone can correct me but IIRC these vans versa was supposed to be an AO signature model but he wasn't happy with them so they repurposed them into a dressier team model.

a lot of the british goats never got signature shoes which is a drag. nick jensen, danny brady etc. i guess isle had that nike shoe but that doesn't really count

[Atiba Applebum]

Mason Silva and Miles Silvas - only SOTYs without a pro shoe?

[Dj Paul]

Best pro: Carlos Ribeiro.


Worst pro that had a pro shoe: Sean Pablo.

Sean Pablo only got colorways.

I’ll add Ryan Lay to the list. I only remember an Etnies colorway and the #480 x Slow Impact, if that counts.

Tom K should have one on NB being their first and longest team rider.

Did Javier Sarmiento ever have a shoe? That dude is probably the best skateboarder to ever live.

Matt Reason is probably my favorite skater (goes back and forth between him, Jake Rupp and Fred Gall) and he didn’t have a shoe but I consider the half cab his show.

[lowline]

i bought some new balance 430's because of ryan lay recently (enjoying them!) so if he had his own shoe i would definitely cop that. absolutely deserved

I’m not fully awake but I think he had one on etnies. Correct me if I’m wrong.

After jensen left for Nike, Lakai had a shoe model (name escapes me) that they based all of the ads around Brady and I think even hinted he helped design it or something but refused to call it a pro model for some reason. Similar to what they did with Cody Chapman and Bannerot a few years ago.

It's insane that Wade didn't get a pro shoe the second he signed onto eS.

He had a signature vegan Jameson cupsole hi. I think it wasn't considered a pro model though, but maybe one of the first Jameson cupsol high-tops?

[Esquivel]

I think Gustav only has a colorway.
