K-Swiss? As in the ghetto fabulous/Casual Dress shoes? That's a confused company if you ask me.

Agreed. Don't forget Theotis is sick as well.

psychoguitarist · 06-10-2009, 09:16 PM

Yea he seems like a cool person plus has dope style. You know what else is sick, pokemon i had to watch my little brother today for the entire day while my dad was out of state, so after i mowed my lawn and did all my other chores i just beat the elite 4 on my og blue version, **** yea!

Blind Sheppard · 06-10-2009, 10:33 PM

Koston is on Nike SB. Don't worry to all those people who said that he wouldn't leave Lakai and this was all a joke, you're right, this is probably still a joke...

AdioBird52 · 06-11-2009, 01:49 AM

fml.
Koston is Nike is almost as bad as Trapasso on Converse..

Sk8 Shorty's · 06-11-2009, 02:43 AM

Wow that's bad.
Where did you get that info from?

AdioBird52 · 06-11-2009, 03:45 AM

its on transworld's site.

bucksaw87 · 06-11-2009, 03:54 AM

it's supposed to be on nike sb's site, as well

Sk8 Shorty's · 06-11-2009, 12:40 PM

That's honestly shitty. Why would he do that? What next, changing his board company and joining Plan B? God help us all...

TheCheese · 06-11-2009, 01:37 PM

I don't see the problem with that Nike makes some sick ass shoes but then again so does Lakai. Actually now that I think about it I don't really see Koston fitting in anywhere else than Lakai but I think Nike is a good move for him.

bucksaw87 · 06-11-2009, 03:52 PM

hey, if he thinks he can do better on nike, so be it. same ol' thing with lutzka and k-swiss. being in a bigger team can have its benefits.

Stereo Announced as Title Sponsor of Battle at The Berrics 2
Skateboarders as news anchors seems to be the new trend this season as Co-Captains Jason Lee and Chris Pastras announce that Stereo skateboards is the official title sponsor for the upcoming Battle at The Berrics 2.

skizzate · 06-14-2009, 03:34 AM

Trappasso being on cons is bad because he left vans when he was getting colorways out. He went to cons to make 6 digits but hes not going to go anywhere now. Pops going to cons makes sense seeing that his knees are shit and can't shred like all the new tech kids. Pops wasn't going anywhere so making that dough at cons is a good move. Koston leaving lakai... leaving eS in the first place is shit. Nike has nothing going for most of its pros, one or two promodels? If your lucky you can get a colorway. But everything gets a colorway. K-swiss is just garbage.
