Print

It’s official, this just came across the wire:

10 June 2009

For Immediate Release:

Nike Skateboarding welcomes Eric Koston to the team!

2009 is shaping up to be the busiest summer ever for Nike SB, but simply put, any time is a good time to add Eric Koston to your team.

Eric had this to say:
“Not only am I psyched to be a part of the great group of guys that makes up the Nike SB team, but I’m equally as excited to work with them creatively. I’m sure many people know that a lot of different Nike’s have been the inspiration for my shoe designs over the last 12 years, so I feel like a fucking kid in a candy store when it comes to this partnership between Nike and I.”

More news to follow as it happens, talk amongst yourselves….

    he films a vid for his shoe sponsor then he gets off haha

  4. Arnie says:

    At least he finished his Fully Flared part. That would have sucked if he quit before it was released and all the footage would have just sat for 5 years.

  5. nike sb is a great company that makes amazing skate shoes, and that they have eric nike sb WILL BE UNSTOPABLE. LOL. btw i just got the new stefan janoski nike sb’s and they are sick. great boardfeel and a sick low top design. BUY NIKE SB!

  17. Max says:

    It’s kinda sad that Nike Sb is taking over the skate shoe industry… buying all the big hitters and just selling out to everybody. I mean, everybody has a pair of Nike SBs.. It’s killing whats used to be just skateboarding.

  18. PikachuYea says:

    damn lakai must be pissed off right now lol

  19. Charley says:

    i knew it i saw him at a demo wearing some blazers like 2 weeks before the news came out

  20. connor says:

    Hey its just shoes for everyone freaking out, besides skaters in the 80s were the ones that brought nike into skateboaring, and also i think etnies is racking up some major guys too..

  21. ry says:

    sellout

  22. risa says:

    predictable.
    not a huge fan of Nike not that i dislike the team in any way but everyone is wearing them right now and everyone’s only wearing them because skating’s “in” right now. ugh i hate that.
    Koston’s so sick though so maybe i can give their skating a chance :p

  23. S K says:

    NIKE = the mall shop of skate shoes

  24. trevor says:
