Heard from a solid source that the deal is 10 years, 3 million a year. So that makes a $30 million contact overall. He will be signed under Nike head to toe at the end of this month.

Heard from 15 people on this website that the deal is anywhere between $100 for 25 years and $60,000,000,000,000 for an hour and a half, because you can say anything with "I heard" attached and at least four people will believe you.
ill murray, can you remind me why you think im a kook
I still think DC folding is a bigger deal than Nyjah's punk ass getting paid.

They recently opened a Quicksilver / Roxy / DC outlet by my house, in a very weird place, in a random shopping center. Not a place with a ton of clothing retail or even an outlet mall, just a place with a few bigger chains and a few local businesses. Very random to see it pop up out of nowhere basically overnight. Liquidating inventory quickly? Test retail run for a sellout to Payless, Airwalk style?

[close]Sometimes corporations that own several brands will open stores like that to try and burn as much inventory as they can before they shut the brand down. Not saying that's happening here, but it happens.

DC is most likely not folding because they lost Nyjah, nor because their parent company filed for bankruptcy.Most likely they'll just have a corporate bean counting suit looking over their shoulders making sure they are trimming the fat and don't have any necessary expenses for a while, which also might mean your favorite overpaid pro(s). I'm sure some at DC/Quicksilver will see it as getting rid of Nyjah may have been a blessing in disguise at this time. I don't know about you, but I do not see a ton of kids in Nyjah shoes.I'm curious to see if Nike SB will sneak Nyjah into Chronicles 3.
