KADER SYLLA SAYS GOODBYE TO VANS WITH NEW VIDEO

Sometimes, you need to move on in life. You want a new challenge or a new opportunity. That happens in the world of skateboarding as well. In fact, that is a landscape known for some restless souls. Maybe Kader Sylla is one of those folks. He’s still pro for Baker, but recently Sylla announced that he’s leaving his shoe sponsor Vans after two years riding for the iconic brand. It’s not his first move, as Sylla also previously skated for Emerica. We’re sure another shoe sponsor is coming, but for now, Sylla has left Vans for the world at large.

Clearly, there is no ill will between Sylla and his former brand. The skater recently dropped his own video – sans a sponsor – called thankyouvans. His part features some of the unused footage the skater had left wearing his Vans attire. Hey, he had the video. Why not use it? Vans probably doesn’t mind the last bit of publicity, and Sylla gets to show off his skills, and his former brand, one last time. Until Sylla is out there skating for somebody new, enjoy thankyouvans above.
