    Hmm... Atiba posted this.. He knows! Tells us Atiba!

  15. 6 months ago NIKE said:

    Anyone remember the old interview where he said nike offered him money to join???

    Nike seems fitting plus they could advertise on the berrics and thats even more money behind kostons name. with the recession and all that, Lakai probably couldnt afford to compete with what other companies were offering hi

  16. 6 months ago ethaan said:

    nah its a joke, the reaction the press had in the video isnt how a real press crowd would react. haha he is taking part of eS though

  17. 6 months ago peace cat said:

    i bet hes moved to adidas it sort of sounds right in a sick adidas way

  18. 6 months ago j said:

    its not a joke, he's just leaving on a good note, you know?

  19. 6 months ago noah said:

    eS would be sick!

    I'd go with either Nike or Vans. It would make more sense to go with a company who has more longevity in the industry. It would be a damn shame if he were to go with a company like Nike, or Adidas though but in the end I guess its all about the payday. I doubt hell bounce around like Paul Rodriguez does, whoring himself out to the highest bidders. Skateboarders need to pay bills and live comfortably like the rest of us.

    Good luck koston.

    filming a fake press conference isn't exactly 'keeping it real'. neither is the pre-grab 360 with sunglasses (in the 4star vancouver edit.) Or telling Malto to do "the routine". Shit's lookin WACK. Hang it up and go golfing kook.

  24. 6 months ago jike said:

    converse?

  25. 6 months ago person said:

    ADIDAS WITH THE GONZ!

  26. 6 months ago Yo Dude said:

    Nike. Michael Jordan division.

  27. 6 months ago smeagol said:

    He's leaving to join either:

    1. 2fish
    2. Soap
    3. Sheep
    4. Kastel
    5. Sketchers

  28. 6 months ago DAMN said:

    I don't think he'll join eS he was already on eS once, why would he go back?

  29. 6 months ago psych0 said:

    damn..i can't belive it.
    never thought that would happen.

    ShamWow Vince must kill himself

    you dont know nothing!

  32. 6 months ago eric koston said:

    to clear everything up for you guys out there i am leaving lakai and moving into eS again not for money but for the sheer joy i had over there

  33. 6 months ago hubbuh said:

    ShamWow- He made a similar press conference staging when he announced he would be joining lakai so it would be appropriate to end it in the same way. Now go fuck yourself and learn to appreciate the small things. Chill out and smoke a blunt you fuckin hater!

  34. 6 months ago daniel said:

    atiba holla at your boy let us know! i think etnies with malto

  35. 6 months ago Matt said:

    He's going to Nike for sure. They said they would pay him well if he rode for them. Koston even said if they came to him and asked him to ride for them and pay him well he would have a big swoosh across his cheast.

    Nothing is wrong with Nike or Adidas you guys are just hatters. Would you pass up $500,000 or more? I wouldn't.

    P-Rod made a million when he joined Nike. Half was because of shoe sales.

    why dont you shutup.....
    and stop ruining everyones fun

    hes probs starting his own
    or joining berrics shoes
    ahaha

  44. 6 months ago hideee said:

    he's just gonna get on osiris like tom popp and keep wearing his same foundation looking slip ons. it's no big deal, really. it's pretty goonie if you ask me.

  45. 6 months ago david95 said:

    i think he will go NIKE or DVS.NIKE because he'll get paid well, and DVS because him and steve berra own the berrics.

  46. 6 months ago henkler said:

    He's gotta be starting his own thing under podium with berra. He is an owner of Lakai. Lakai wouldn't go and make a press conference video for no reason... they didn't for Olson? I think there's a plot, he's starting a new project.

  47. 6 months ago Yerma said:

    Vans!?!?!?!

  48. 6 months ago cota said:

    nike, thats it. end of story.

  49. 6 months ago toby said:

    as long as marc johnson and mike mo stay in lakai its all good and this may be kostons retirement if not maybe vans or dvs

  50. 6 months ago eric koston said:

    im joining heelys guys. been thinking over this decision for almost 6 months now ive finally realised i have a bright future on there and lakai yeah.... obviously no future.

  51. 6 months ago seba said:

    dvs isn't my option, the paycheck would be the same if we compare that to lakai.... so dunno

    I prefer adidas, rather than nike, but who cares at the end?... koston will always be koston and i dont care if he is skating with sandals he is going to kill it anyway...

    soooo good luck frost!

  52. 6 months ago magellan said:

    It may be that Lakai is having a little bit of financial problems. Koston, being a nice guy as well as a friend to mike and rick, possibly decided to leave the team to help them out with money. Times are rough, but Koston is a made man. He would rather help his friends and the company out than continue getting paid and costing them more money. Idk, i could be completely wrong here, but it kinda makes sense. If not, i could only assume hes leaving to start his own program. Who knows
