Pretty rad! Stoked for him, he has more than earned any kind of legend status.
Just with all the sponsor swapping, I wonder how much he made Emerica vs Vans vs New Balance.
Donāt forget Tony Hawk was on vans for a short stint and Lakai, and now seems to be bringing Hawk Shoes back
Fucking heāll better save me pennies.
I havenāt bought shoes in a minute. Just waiting for some Super Alohas
The regular (I think) Alohas are in the outlet here.
Thereās still some in Adidas but donāt fancy Orange
You just reminded me to buy some of the black and gum ones on sale. 5th pairā¦
prompted me to have a look too, found some deals!
I like the look of the orange ones and the pink ones but I have no idea what Iād wear them with
Iv got the pink ones
Me too. Only for special occasions.
I fell in a ditch in one pair, totalled and skated the other, fuck it Iām buying some today.
I think itās fair to assume Vans fucked up considering how much he repped them and only got 2 colourways in the end.
He probably made enough with Emerica to live comfortably for the next 50 years.
Anyway, so glad heās getting another pro shoe. Dude is the embodiment of the skate rat. One of the rare pros of our generation Iāve never seen in the flesh. Oh well.
Iāll ask him for his bank statements next time I see him x
I could well be pulling this out my bottom but I believe he left vans because he couldnāt get on with skating on thin pieces of rubber and needing something more substantial in his lengthening years, et voila NB.
You know what I mean, we all know how much footy players earn
