I'm a pretty new subscriber so this is my introduction to your recap and I love the creative approach and how you work in some personal hopes/goals. Super bummed about the recent Nike news since Gassed Up was one of my faves and they gave Leo his own colorway (I did have to check to see if it was a colorway since they marked it as Leo's signature shoe). That being said, Alexis Sablone got their own signature shoe with Converse this year.
“However, something else just as interesting happened: nothing.” — 😂
I will confidently speak on behalf of all skateboarders and say: we all enjoy you making fun of Cariuma. 😂
Thanks for an epic newsletter, Cole!
Haha, thanks for reading, Michael!

Thanks for reading and the kind words, Jen!
Yeah, I hope the Nike cuts don't affect their skateboarding division too bad (or at all, ideally).
Totally! It was a good year in terms of folks getting their names on shoes. Hoping that trend continues.
