Who are some pros that had some strange sponsor lists? Not like McDonalds or Toyota or whatever, but skate brands that don't seem to match up.

Ex. - I always thought it was weird that Jeff Lenoce was on Baker and Lakai - with most Baker riders being on Emerica or Van's, Jeff on Lakai always seemed odd to me. Pretty rad for him to be in Baker 3 and Fully Flared tho.

I actually really liked him on Fallen, I had a few pairs of his shoe that were really good.

Asta on Santa Cruz does suck.

Everyone who got on Etnies when they kicked off Mike V / Chris Lambert / Fabrizio Santos / Carlos DeAndrade

they kept like half the team (maybe just Sheckler?) and got Zered, Arto, Stefan, Bastien, Rune

I’m assuming westgate and apples get a bag from element, but a waste of talent. Especially westgate. Would be better suited on a brand like Real or Toy Machine.

Louie Lopez: seeing him smiling, sometimes brace faced, riding around effortlessly just doesn’t fit a brand with the word ‘Fuck’ in it and weird horror novel graphics.

Good answer, I remember their Arto acquisition made me consider buying Etnies for the first time. Even though I didn't like Etnies at the time (mainly cause of Sheckler) I got the black and white Arto's as soon as they dropped. I loved those shoes. Remember Etnies got Boulala too in a weird turn of events. His Etnies shoes were kinda lame but I had numerous pairs of his Osiris creepers.

Quim Cardona had some mismatching sponsors. Airwalk, sushi wheels, domestics, organika (politic? I forget), through his timeline. Love the dude though.

Koston has a list of 'cool', relevant sponsors but rides Skate Mental boards...
