I would think Kelly Hart is good enough (and popular enough from being on the Nine Club and the Trick of the Year thing) to sell some pro boards. It seemed like Expedition went all in on him when the rest of the team fled or was fired. I see Hart as much more marketable than, say, Dylan Witkin of Frankie Heck (and I love me some Frankie Heck footage).
And since Hart is TM of eS, I imagine the shoe sponsor thing is more or less resolved.
Which reminds me, why the hell was Expedition One (and Zoo York) so eager to drop Zered?
