I know he's a big Chris Cole fan so, I'm not entirely sure he would.

And that will get him more money?

I heard this rumour too from someone who works with Nyjah at Element. Paul was their main dude and I guess he's getting shoved aside to have Nyjah at the helm. Paul is pissed and rumour is he's going to leave when his contract is up. I can only image how ugly a Nyjah X Nike shoe will look like.

I've heard that none of his pro shoes on DC have sold to expectations so I'm not sure how big that Nike contract would be and I'm sure DC would be fine letting him go

Wonder if they'll gun for Shane again to get him on DC. He seemed down before to go there before Nike trapped him in.

The one thing I still like about Nike is their team. Even getting Luan just seemed perfect but if they get Nyjah on, it almost ruins that whole thing.

Look at his DC shoes, they are fucking ugly (most DC shoes are/were, the recent Miller/Kremer/Cole's seem to be a nice change) and I'm sure his salary requirements vs. what he sold isn't worth it.

Prod is old news, what, he's almost mid 30s or some shit? Koston old? BAs didn't sell well enough (and how many young bloods know or give a fuck about who he is), Janoski's had their run and he's all but faded into obscurity rolling around in money.   Nike needs new blood with the fucking lunarlon running shoe shit, Nyjahs image is perfect for them.

Naw, Adidas doesn't have the glamour that Nyjah needs to exist. Besides I don't think Nyjah would mesh well with their current riders, could you see him skating next to Busenitz or the Gonz?

In an odd way, I agree but Nike has so many riders that can fill that void. Even if Koston is old news, Nike has Grant Taylor, Ishod, Shane, Malto, Olson and so many more that kids all love. Nyjah fits the DC team way more than Nike. Granted he probably would look right on Nike but just not with the team.

Nyjahs been with element since he was 4, I don't see him leaving DC.. They obviously take care of him.

Nyjah in the same league as Michael Jordan, tiger woods, and messi?? Over my dead body

It's like the first Element product it was very cohesive and now look at it. The development is there but it obviously didn't come out that way

nike gets a lot of hate for "buying" all the best guys but to be honest they actually do help support a lot of awesome skaters and give them better lives.  for real.  they don't have anyone whack on their team.  actually they have one of the least whack teams in all of skateboarding.
i mean shit, the only person i don't like here is Trevor Colden.

i doubt it, seeing as he left fourstar presumably because of nike/nike apparel

Completely agree Ty. And the lesser known dudes are getting some Nike shine: Hjalte, Karsten, Brooker. There's a lot of raw talent on their team aside from the big dogs.

I liked the nyjahs but didn't understand the technology or the very premium price. .90bucks? Theirin the problems, but maybe it was the program for the shoes. .Really I saw it heavily relying on Ccs Zumiez and other commercially promoting outlets to string the kiddos in

They sponsor / hook up more than 50% of the AM/semipro scene. I've been to several contests in Europe recently and it's always crazy how everyone rep Nike. So it's normal that they have some good guys who stand out when they actually own the majority of the scene. I think they sponsor too many skateboarders (who probably don't know each other) that their "unofficial" teams make no sense tbh.

Also Nike needs Nyjah because they need the soon to be first gold medalist when skateboarding will be at the Olympics.
