Nike’s Roger Wyett, 56, has decided that after 19 years at Nike (that’s like 40 anywhere else) it’s time for him to hang up his action sporting shoes and exit the Northwest shoe giant for retirement. And the new guy? Well, he’s not a new guy at all. It’s Scott LeClair, 47, the former Brand VP and GM of Nike Skate and Nike Snow.
LeClair joined Nike in 1992 and has led Nike’s skate and snow business since June 2012. He has held previous roles in North America and was GM of Nike’s West Territory based in Los Angeles, before moving to Japan to lead the running category and then the merchandising function. He will report to Jayme Martin, VP & GM of Global Categories. . . .”We’re very pleased that Scott will lead us forward. He is a proven leader with strong brand expertise and his deep knowledge of Action Sports will be instrumental as we continue to build our business globally,” said Martin.
And that’s the news for now, from Nike. Follow the jump for the official word. [click to continue…]

Now, if only it had a tide function it might be the perfect watch for a trip to Baja. . .

Yes, pro snowboarders get paid to wear the clothes they wear, but sometimes it’s interesting to hear them explain just why they like to wear what they wear. In this edit Alex Yoder explains the Patagonia Untracked Kit and he makes it sound pretty good.

Spy is rolling out its third collab with The Seventh Letter and this time the Platoon goggle features the art of Jersey Joe, aka RIME.
RIME’s complex characters—inspired by Garbage Pail Kids trading cards, Looney Tunes, and comic strips—are intended to live in the grittiness of the outdoors rather than a sterile gallery, making the Platoon the perfect open air canvas for his lines. With classic graffiti style and an irreverent approach to everything he does, the SPY + RIME Platoon is part of the ever-evolving curation between the world-renowned Seventh Letter Crew and SPY.
It’s like subway cars on your head. . . follow the jump for the official word from Spy. [click to continue…]
