damn cant say i didnt see it coming, nike has the team!

[BeatChemist]

If you traveled back in time to 1995 and told 14-year-old-me that Nike would have the sickest skate team in the world, well... I probably would have laughed.

Funny how times-they-are-a-changin'!

Already known it, still a fucked up situation though.

skaters need money too. Not a favorite skater by any stretch but glad to see Mo' getting his.

Now release Vol. 2 already Nike!

I buy alot of Nike products, they make good shoes. And I'm actually happy he's on Nike than dc which has been pulling some shady shit as of late to get riders. I'm all for supporting skate brands but in this day and age I really can support the hipocracy that has been filling the skateboard community. I don't hear people complain about adidas or converse even though it's essentially the same thing, and truthfully we should be celebrating that a company as vast as Nike is supporting this thing we love.

I'm skating the Blazer's/Bruins. an i love them both. But i think when skateboarding Loses Popularity.
i'm sure Nike will leave. An we'll be Left with more "Core" brands. I'm sure i'll be Fine with that too.

the thing is I don't feel they will leave I mean Nike has been in skating for a while and their original team consisted of mainly dudes kids don't recognize like Daniel shimizu and Childress. It's really only in recent years that Nike as a skate brand has taken off

fuck yeah man

Nike, a global corporate giant, supporting skateboarding? Man, I don't know about that...
I understand your point but honestly I'd rather buy products where I know my money is going into skaters pockets or into skateboarding in general. With Nike, that money might as well go to developing new golf shirts or whatever.
I always buy locally produced shit if it's possible. Wrong or right, atleast I feel better.

Not trying to start shit here and I respect the other argument.

I will never buy a Nike product, it makes me sad that great skaters get on Nike's team and fuels the fire.

Get Nike out of Skateboarding.

I get a skate boner when people say things like this.
