I found the tweet from wic about the Nike outfit N and V were wearing. Her Nathan picture was from Dec 2018. But Nathan was wearing it since 2017.

From Dec 2017 and September 2017

Sasha’s mom posted this adorable picture of him in a cream color jean jacket yesterday. I guess Nathan is just some fashion trend setter lol. I was wondering what is the big hair band for.

Andrew had some similar move like Nathan’s 360 or 540 kick. Great minds think alike ;)

It seems that Nathan and Vincent don’t talk a lot. Him giving Vincent his old clothes seems a bit unlikely.

It seems strange, but then he appeared to have given Zagitova his grey Nike cap last year because he hasn't been seen wearing it ever since. We'll see if Nathan ever wears that cream jacket again.
 
After going through the pictures, I don’t think he gave it to him. Alina is much closer to Nathan. Alina, Dima, Mariah and Nathan were hanging out together. Alina even followed Mariah after the Ice Show last year. Nathan was with Morgan and Tim all the time at DOI. They seldom stood next to each other. It is really odd to think Nathan gave his jacket to him or even lent it to him.

I would rather think Nathan is just some fashion trend setter. His Yale friends are contemplating getting his expensive off white Jacket lol.

Speaking of the Ice, finally Nathan is going to see Romain! Too bad Dima didn’t make it this year, I guess Mariah, Nathan, Romain and Alina would still probably hang out together, perhaps also Misha. I wish Raf would be invited this time again.
 
Raf’s birthday - a hug for his favorite, and he walks past the cake with a still-lit candle, lol.

Lol, I love how Raf is the one initiating the hug, even though he's the 'birthday child' (and only a hug from Nathan, not anyone else)... always so needy, Raf! ;)
And come on Nathan, show the man some love of your own accord! :laugh:

Huh, so is he implying that, should Beijing not work out, he's gonna come back for the 2026 Olmypics? :laugh:

For the last comment, I don’t know what I should be wishing for. 2026 is in Milan, the venue he won his first world title. Can we wish for both happening? Is it too greedy from us to ask for?

I didn’t notice that Raf was the one who initiated the hug, maybe because it is Nathan who organized this? Or Nathan bought the cake? I would rather think it is Mariah and other Raf girls who organized it and everyone chipped in for the cake.

I had this question since yesterday but got distracted. For the Nike contract Alex was talking about, it seems lots of skaters/ athletes got it, which enables them to order Nike gears, so what is different from the sponsorship Nathan has from Nike? There should be money involved for Nathan’s sponsorship right?
Click to expand...

Yes. Maybe. Only a few athletes are invited to Nike company because of sponsorship.
That’s the only thing I can say. All the athletes have a different contract, but Nathan’s sponsorship is different with some average ( I’m not sure it is appropriate to use:scratch2:) sponsorship.
Anyway, good for him:clap:

Yes, good for him. As far as I know, both Nathan and Alysa visited the Nike headquarter. Alysa talked about her agent, which is a Yuki who handled the Nike contract rather than her dad who is a lawyer.

I wish Yuki get another car deal for Nathan before school starts. Nathan’s tweet is still there but the link to the IG post is not working anymore. I am kinda emotionally attached to that tweet since that tweet always pops up when I go to his figure skaters online website.
 
But do we even know if he gets any financial support from Nike and not just clothes and shoes?

I assume Acura wasn't willing to extend the contract for another year and Nathan's agent might be in search of another car company willing to sponsor him, and that's why he had to delete the old posts, so there's no conflict of interest with any potential future sponsors? :confused2:

Yeah, all those PIW fan pictures are the most adorable thing I have seen in a while, lots of genuine non-posed smiling from Nathan, he has so much charisma when he's just his uninhibited self, his facial expression is just the best and I don't think he even realises that. :luv17:

Enough for the fashion discussion. Back to Nathan stuff, did you girls read Yana’s IG story? Nathan’s contract with Acura ended. He deleted the two Acura posts in his IG. It is weird we just read Alexei’s article about Acura yesterday. It is sad to see the pictures have gone both the RDX picture and the NTX picture.

I guess it was just for one year. Hopefully he'll sign with another car maker.

Recently Nike was involved in a lawsuit with a track athlete which provided insight on what these types of contracts entail.

So Nathan probably receives a substantial annual salary plus bonuses for medaling at major events like Olympics or Worlds. Maybe Nats.
