Kevin Wade @kwade.bsky.social · 01/04/2026As much crap as algorithms get vs chronological feeds, I'm grateful that this is the first I'm hearing about them. Kinda hope it's the last too. 000
Kevin Wade @kwade.bsky.social · 27/03/2026The crew arrived at my house at 7am with two suitcases of Nike's latest gear and dozens of Fuel Bands. We filmed across campus, through Eugene, and inside the arena. Four weeks later I saw the final cut. Four weeks after that, it aired during March Madness, opening on my bedroom. 000
Kevin Wade @kwade.bsky.social · 27/03/2026A week later, I got an email from Nike. They'd spotted my Nike Fuel Band in the shot & wanted to build a commercial around it for a March Madness "Counts" campaign, but they needed to move fast. With help from the UO AD and fellow students, they planned a full shoot around an Oregon game day. 100
Kevin Wade @kwade.bsky.social · 27/03/2026The story of how my college bedroom became the opening scene of a Nike commercial during March Madness. Oregon handed No. 4 Arizona their first loss of the season and the student section, including me, stormed the court. Hours later, the photo was on the front page of ESPN. 100

Kevin Wade @kwade.bsky.social · 10/02/2026We have a guy at my club who got the tools to cut his own teflon because it was worth his time to make pairs for members vs buying craigs or balance plus pods 120
Kevin Wade @kwade.bsky.social · 10/02/2026Craig’s Curling Shoes is the most well-known shoe conversion shop in the US. They’ve made shoes for former and current Olympians, including Team USA’s Korey Dropkin! So the next time you see a curler sliding down the ice in flashy sneakers, now you know how they were made! 371
Kevin Wade @kwade.bsky.social · 10/02/2026Once curlers realized this, things escalated. Instead of buying stock shoes, they started building their own. Nike. Adidas. Vans. You name it. And that’s where a small shop in Minnesota comes in. 120
Kevin Wade @kwade.bsky.social · 10/02/2026Curling shoes are actually two different shoes: • A slider shoe • A gripper shoe The slider is made of Teflon, cut in different thicknesses depending on how fast you want to slide. The gripper does exactly what it sounds like, it keeps you from eating ice. 110
Kevin Wade @kwade.bsky.social · 10/02/2026If you have a sneaker or trainer you love working out in, odds are you want to wear that on the ice. So curlers started asking a simple question: “What if I could turn my favorite shoe into a curling shoe?” Enter: custom conversions. 110
Kevin Wade @kwade.bsky.social · 10/02/2026There are only four major curling shoe manufacturers: • Olson • Asham • Balance Plus • Goldline That’s it. That’s the list. But curling shoes are extremely personal. 110
Kevin Wade @kwade.bsky.social · 10/02/2026The world of curling is highly specialized. You can count all the curling equipment companies on your hands. For example: There are only 6 major broom companies, and at the Olympics you’ll usually see just a few of them. Shoes? Even fewer. 110
Kevin Wade @kwade.bsky.social · 10/02/2026Have you ever noticed that some curling athletes wear bright, custom shoes… while most are rocking plain black dress shoes? There’s a reason and it’s way nerdier than you’d think 🧵 1101
