Did anyone else hear about this? I heard he will be in Nike boots at A1.
A troubled friend of mine started that, he couldn't decide whether to say "Nice Boobs"
or "Bike Boots" and, um, he's easily confused. Forgive him. He's special,
Interesting rumor and they say that the source is very reliable but that's very interesting because the strong rumor was that JS who has tried them and really liked them couldn't wear them in 2010 due to his A-stars contract. The very strong rumor was that RD10 was their rider for this season.
Very interesting.
The Shop
The next one we can see here soon would be DC Shoes. It should be easy for them to work on boots. From skate to snowboard to moto is a short path
What about Nike MX boots that you could only purchase through Nike ID (so fully customizable)? I would think those would be worth $500 (when you see the cost of the Tech-10, the SG-12, the Crossfire). They wouldn't sell more than a 100 to 150 pairs the first year but that would be pretty cost efficient to start. Go slowly and carefully before releasing the blitzkrieg!
Will they be made in America I wonder, or sweatshops?
Niki is very smart, their approach into the skateboard and bmx world was brilliant. Had they gone out and signed the top riders/skaters with million dollar contracts, they would have been perceived as a huge company coming into those sports, trying to make money, and their image would have been associated with guys who "hardcore" skaters and bikers consider "sell-outs".
However, what they did was sponsor a team of relatively unknown super-badass skaters and bikers, to appeal to the "hardcore" group. It was a genius move as far as I'm concerned, because I've seen big Mt. Bike companies come into BMX and leave in a few years, but man, skaters and bikers alone, for the most part just ate the Niki shoes right up as if they were a rider owned company.
If this is true, I figure they will be around for quite sometime, generating tremendous wealth to a group of individuals who have never thrown a leg over a dirt bike.

i remember those boots, wasn't there a pretty decent story behind the whole A-star to Berik switch too?
I'd rather Not have my boots made in communist china, I'll stick with ITALY
So, 101, apart from your boots made in Italy, for the rest, you ride stark naked? ha ha ha ha.
They make you jump higher!
It's gotta be the boots!
Just pin it.
The buckles were cheap though.
