@@braddillon4311 well for now u got to go to skate shops to get dunks what ur talking about hasn’t happened yet not for nike sb dunks line that’s all they care about rare stuff outlets got crappy channels or whatever

What is happening with so much skate content???????? I'm so confused. Did he explained why is still posting about skating? (actually happy to get these videos)
@@finzlee2426 Can you tell me where? I went to the community tab and saw nothing. The last time I remember hearing about it on video was the one where he says he is quitting.
The day will come in about 10 - 15 years when John will take his kid to the skatepark to start the begining lessons of skateboarding just like John learned it ❤
Nike spends money everywhere but in the town of their headquarters. They don’t do anything for Beaverton where I live. Actually they own a large portion of the city and kick skaters out even in empty unused spaces. Not a single Nike park in the city.
I'll go to the "secret one" if Harbor is really crowded. I like to get some runs in the big bowl because the big bowl is not as popular as the rest of the park. I was just at Harbor a few days ago when Normandale was getting too crowded.
I never had anything against Nike. Or Cariuma or whatever brand gets the hate from time to time. Skateboarding is business much like anything else, we as skaters can choose to spend our money the way we want and support whatever brands we prefer, but it is undeniable that big companies with a lot of money (Vans comes to mind because especially where I live, Vans organizes a lot of events and support a lot of local skaters) help skateboarding progress and sustain a lot of skaters that would otherwise be penniless. I tried skating a lot of Nike shoes, besides the good old (very old now) Koston 1 and 2, nothing fits my feet. Recently the new Ishod 2 have been a terrible delusion for me, I liked the first model but unfortunately they are too tight for my feet.
Nikes are skis, they arent made for wider based feet. Adidas and vans are also narrow but they have a wider toe box. Ive never skated nikes though ever. Never found a pair that fit.
@@jacob_trowbridge YEah. Can't wear Vans for the same reason as Nike but with Adidas I never had troubles (but I only ever skated Adidas Busenitz, have never tried another model of Adidas). Some brands that really did it for my wide feet are Lakai, Etnies, Es. I recently bought a pair of Nike Dunks and it's the only model that does well for my feet, unfortunately they are pretty overpriced so I might keep them just for the occasional night out with the family
@@ab-ue9yx id compare vans with busenitz, I have better luck stretching vans and they are cheaper and last longer imo. Busenitz my favorite shoe as an adult. To expensive though. Id rather spend 30, on vans from ross to tear up while skating. Ive never owned a single pair of jordans or nikes im 30. Lol been skating for 20 years loved adio growing up as well circa and fallen!
@@jacob_trowbridge Fallen are still okay to this day! I gotta specify since 2-3 years I stopped skating vulcanized shoes now I go for cupsoles only so even Vans are as expensive as other brands. Usually I go on Zumiez or Skatewarehouse every few months and buy a few pairs of whatever is on discount, usually wouldn't spend more than 35-50 USD on a pair. I splurged on the SB Dunks but it was a one time only gift to myself XD. Man how I miss the old Circa and Adio was pretty good as well, but probably my favourite to skat back in the days were the OG Es Accel or some puffy Etnies
i would love to have a better park mine is pretty small and consists of mainly transition, only ledge there is is a HUGE ledge on a funbox that is ramps on every end
I love that nobody really vlogs at houghton. he played it safe at harbor lol That park is small clusterfucky usually bodies are in the way lol. The bowl went not mentioned.
as an elder skatesman, i can say that if nike is who changed skateparks then theyve done more for skateboarding than most core companies. early skateparks are the worst. so much unskatable infrastructure!
It's just a matter of marketing. Nike is not into it, to help skaters. It's just business and there was a market. So they tried to expand, and worked fine from what i've seen and heard in the skateboarding scene. Reason being, they hired skateboarders which had no idea how much their contribution was worth. Probably "low pay". And then they invested here and there. Rich/famous people in the skateboarding community helped each other, with nike. And we "poor" people look up to them so we buy the product. It "took off". Now it's just profit. Sure they do nice things, but they also do bad things. The good part doesn't weigh up for the bad part if you ask me. But we don't live in bad countries so it's not our problem, or our cousins or kids that "work" for nike. For pennies. How much is a nike skate shoe? 90-120 us$? Probably cost 30 to make. And most of that 30 is probably electricity and machine maintenance and not paychecks. Just saying :) In the end, i can tell you that nike didn't change the skateparks where i've lived haha :P I am kind of mad at nike because they discontinued a shoe and i've tried to talk with them for years and it's just impossible to get through to them other than some automatic answer. I stopped skating. I probably wouldn't have if it weren't for that shoe being discontinued. I have "special" feet, and those worked perfect (for me), they didn't hurt my feet like others do, and i still can't find any shoes that felt like that. Can't buy them anymore. Ebay, used, bad condition. Or rarely new, in the wrong size of course. I'm at the point where i've been thinking about trying to find some contacts in Indonesia and ask if there is some black market with the original templates to get some made. I have tried to contact replica markets from china, but no one makes them. Not even nike. Because... Not enough sales and profit. I might be wrong with all the above :) Anyways, no hard feels towards nike, they've done a lot, and made it possible for "nobodies" to make a good life. Good vid, keep it up! I still remember the first vids 8 years ago, time flies. Late congrats on the 1 mil sub btw ;)
Nike is whats wrong with sk8ing today. They have no loyalty to the lifestyle. They single handedly ruined sk8 shoes. Next to no pro models just silly colour combos of the same couple shoes. Consolidated skateboards was right to say just DONT do it!
Im anti-nike because of snowboarding. But nike is atleast better than world skate for snowboarding. World skate is a rollerblade organization that deals with skateboarding in olympics
The way your kid looked at you during the squarespace ad 😭
😭😭😭
Nike also helps shops by releasing certain shoes exclusively at local shops
Boom that simple let hype beast keep skate shop’s open
not a fan of the raffles ngl
Until they sold them at their outlets and big name retailers lol

Love how quick this video was & you still making skate content much love
When that og John Hill music came on when you got to the small skatepark it instantly brought me back to New York days.
Your kickflips in this video are on point. The one on the quarter was fresh and looked super satisfying. The one to nose manny was super floaty.

He did

Dude that little skate park would be hard to skate
Got a good Nike park in Carrollton, Virginia. Great to see you, John. Go skate with Dale. 😁
Oh shit! Sick Storror shirt! I love those guys!
Mad love ❤️ 🤘🏼 for the channel and congrats on the New Born 👶!!
The day will come in about 10 - 15 years when John will take his kid to the skatepark to start the begining lessons of skateboarding just like John learned it ❤
Love these Videos John- Thanks for helping me and my kids learn to skate
Been watching u for 7 years
I wonder how Rob Dyrdek feels about being mentioned in this context, being a main person behind DC Shoe Co.
Nice videos been watching so long
Wow, that mini park.
Still at it after all these years , I commend you sir
It’s hard to leave skating behind isn’t it
All those manual tricks in 10 minutes? Absolutely insane
ah yes, the park on Dan's channel where Dale got roasted by the kid, and kept asking "where's big daddy?".
Any day John hill posts is automatically a good day 🔥🔥🔥
Congratulations on the baby.
"If it wasnt for Nike we wouldn't have this" shows Vans logo
oh come on!!! Skate the lil skatepark ???
Nike spends money everywhere but in the town of their headquarters. They don’t do anything for Beaverton where I live. Actually they own a large portion of the city and kick skaters out even in empty unused spaces. Not a single Nike park in the city.
What? John Hill is a daddy? Congrats man!
Nice shirt :) Parkour showing through
I'll go to the "secret one" if Harbor is really crowded. I like to get some runs in the big bowl because the big bowl is not as popular as the rest of the park. I was just at Harbor a few days ago when Normandale was getting too crowded.

Is that a hint at a future Storror collab?

The first skatepark in like my county had one of these.
I love that nobody really vlogs at houghton.
he played it safe at harbor lol
That park is small clusterfucky usually bodies are in the way lol. The bowl went not mentioned.
Nice one the small one
I had no idea about the secret park!
I go on Monday's
Yo I hear the original outro music!! The real ones know!
You should post more. You don’t need a concept for every video.
Good video
Tony Hawk still turned down Nike brother Lakai.
Nike wasn't necessarily taken seriously until they signed Jordan...so Jordan is too blame😮😮😮 dun dunnn duuuuunnnn
dababy on the skateboard for today
I’m so confused, i thought John was done with skate videos?
Doing as Many videos as before.
as an elder skatesman, i can say that if nike is who changed skateparks then theyve done more for skateboarding than most core companies.
early skateparks are the worst. so much unskatable infrastructure!
Hello
Wow abraham
I've learned to except Nike and be thankful for what good things they've done for skating. Still ain't gunna buy their shoes they don't need me to.
It's just a matter of marketing. Nike is not into it, to help skaters. It's just business and there was a market.
So they tried to expand, and worked fine from what i've seen and heard in the skateboarding scene.
Reason being, they hired skateboarders which had no idea how much their contribution was worth. Probably "low pay".
And then they invested here and there. Rich/famous people in the skateboarding community helped each other, with nike. And we "poor" people look up to them so we buy the product. It "took off".
Now it's just profit. Sure they do nice things, but they also do bad things. The good part doesn't weigh up for the bad part if you ask me.
But we don't live in bad countries so it's not our problem, or our cousins or kids that "work" for nike. For pennies. How much is a nike skate shoe? 90-120 us$? Probably cost 30 to make. And most of that 30 is probably electricity and machine maintenance and not paychecks. Just saying :)

Is it pronounced Nike or Nikey?
You are the only other person besides myself that thinks those terms are stupid, "millenials" etc.
🛹🛹🛹
