Moving sponsors? Like TJ left orage or something? I thought it was just an addition.

i may very well be mistaken, but i thought nike 6.0 was an outerwear sponsor, meaning they would leave their previous sponsor for this.

nike only does shoes, t-shirts, n hoodies at the moment so it seems like they are picking up an additional sponsor not leaving their old outerwear sponsors.

this is nikes third or fourth try at making their outerwear cool again. their 4th try at skateboarding has been a success. in snowboarding they will be making boots and have signed danny kass among other serious shredders.

Nike 6.0 and Nike ACG are two totally different divisions.

Nike 6.0 is one of the two divisions of Nike that makes skateshoes. The other is Nike SB. Nike 6.0 does not make technical outerwear. Nike ACG (All Conditions Gear) makes outerwear. Andreas is on the outerwear gig while TJ, Jossi and Sammy have the shoe hookup.

I hope that clears things up.

yeah, 6.0 is just shoes. ACG is the Nike clothing division, which Andreas Hatveit is sponsored by. TJ and Jossi have the same kinda deal as Sammy Carlson has had for a while. He is sponsored by 6.0 shoes but Oakley is still his outerwear sponsor. I'm pretty sure Shawn White is sponsored by 6.0 too, but Burton is his clothing sponsor. Nike just wants a bunch of pro athletes to wear their shoes to get their 6.0 line out their.

personally i fucking hate nike 6.0.  The nike sbs are sooo fucking cool, and now that nike is making like a lower end skate shoe, its kinda taking away from how tight the sbs used to be.  Although a shoe sponsor would be dope as fuck

what was so cool about the sbs is that they were sold only at limited, local stores, so not every punk ass could get his hands on some, they tried to keep it local.  Now they are coming out with shoes that sell to every zuimiez and pacsun, which just takes away from how tight the sbs were

yeah, if you want to collect shoes get sb's but if you want some cheap high quality skate shoes get 6.0's. i prefer to skate my shoes rather than look at them so i buy 6.0's.

why cant you skate sb's?  thats what there made to do, hence the "sb".  so if you wanna wear the ugliest fucking shoes out there, put together shitty so they can sell them at zuimiez, get 6.0s.  I prefer my shoes to be tight and comfortable as fuck, so i get the sb's.

being spanced by Nike would be sick, they have athletes in other sports that you may get to meet at some event and it doesn't hurt that they got a healthy contract

Tj is still on Orage, 6.0 is just another sponsor, Tj is a great guy to hang with. At the pros and powder tour stop and fortune he was still wearing his 09 orage shit and his 6.0 shoes( at the start of the day, i got there at the same time he did. so he hadnt changed into his boots yet.)

Nike is making outwear but not ski outwear so that probably means that skiers didn't have to leave other sponsors.
