Vancouver's Nardwuar steps it up with his own Nike sneaker
Nardwuar has done the 'Hip Flip' with Prime Minister Mark Carney. He's interviewed a who's who of rockers and rappers, including Kurt Cobain and Snoop Dogg. His videos have attracted eight million followers on TikTok, 3.5 million on YouTube, and 2.6 million on Instagram. Now the eccentric celebrity journalist from Vancouver has really hit the big time: Nike is planning a Nardwuar sneaker.

But news of a 'Nardwuar x Nike SB Dunk Low' skateboard sneaker has leaked out on internet sites, such as , which said the Nardwuar sneakers should be out for the 'Holiday 2025 season' and may retail for US$135. Nardwuar confirms he has a deal with Nike. But a design hasn't been finalized — the sneaker is still in the development stage. 'I guess with the sneaker heads, the rumours start,' he said. 'The information got out there, and I'm honoured people speculate what it will be. … People are obsessive with this stuff, aren't they, because I think my shoe is one of like 50 different shoes (being released).' He said he was approached by Nike last year, which he found ironic, because he had unsuccessfully tried to approach them. 'For years I tried to get a Nardwuar shoe, it's my dream to actually get a shoe,' he said. used images of an existing Nike tartan design to illustrate its story, but it isn't what the Nardwuar sneakers will look like. Nardwuar tells them a concept, then Nike's staff designs it. 'I'm telling what I'd like to happen, what I'd like the shoe to look like,' he said. 'It's pretty obvious, because I like tartan.' Nardwuar has already been wearing Nike tartan sneakers for years. They fit with the tartan tam he wears during interviews, which he often complements with tartan pants and a tartan coat. The erstwhile John Ruskin's rise began as a DJ at CiTR, the student radio station at UBC. He adopted the stage name Nardwuar the Human Serviette. Nardwuar was a name he made up with friends. He adopted Serviette after he tried to get one in the U.S. and found out only Canadians use the term. He became something of a garage-rock impresario, fronting his own band, the Evaporators, promoting concerts and releasing a compilation album, Oh God, My Mom's On Channel 10! in 1990. At CiTR, he began interviewing musicians, digging up obscure nuggets about their pasts that blew artists' minds. He often comes with obscure props or gifts, such as a Redd Foxx doll that amazed Snoop Dogg . He also made waves at an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) conference in 1997 when he asked then prime minister Jean Chretien about protesters being maced or pepper sprayed at UBC. 'For me, pepper, I put it on my plate,' Chretien famously replied. He has an animated interviewing style, which some people get, others don't. When he tried for an impromptu interview with another prime minister, Stephen Harper , Harper's bodyguards literally picked him up and carried him away. Nardwuar went from a local to a national phenomenon when his interviews started appearing on MuchMusic. He went international on the internet, where he set up his own Nardwuar channel on YouTube , Instagram and TikTok . Now some celebrities contact him to do interviews. Actor Timothy Chalamet requested Nardwuar when he was doing press for the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown. Unfortunately, the 56-year-old has had some health issues. 'In 1999, I had a brain hemorrhage, and in 2015 I had a minor stroke,' he explains. He does physio to stay healthy. But he's still hard at work as the ace interviewer that online 'sneaker reviewer' Steve Natto said has been 'breaking the internet finding out secret info about your favourite artists and celebrities.' During the recent federal election, he interviewed three political leaders: the Liberals' Carney , the NDP's Jagmeet Singh and Elizabeth May of the Greens. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre declined. All three leaders did the Hip Flip with him, a 1960s game where two people brace a stick against their bodies and try to 'flip' an attached piece of plastic. jmackie@

Reservoir Media Inc (NASDAQ:RSVR) exceeded both guidance and expectations for fiscal 2025 with a 10% annual revenue growth and an 18% improvement in adjusted EBITDA. The company deployed over $115 million towards acquisitions and advances, including notable publishing deals with artists like Snoop Dogg and K.D. Lang. Reservoir Media Inc (NASDAQ:RSVR) expanded its international presence with the launch of PopIndia and the acquisition of Omar Kamal's catalog, highlighting growth in emerging markets. The recorded music segment showed continued growth, with a 7% increase in revenue in the fourth quarter, driven by digital revenue growth. The company achieved a top 10 US market share in the last four quarters according to Billboard's publishers quarterly, with contributions to chart-topping records by various artists. Interest expense increased to $21.9 million for the full year, up from $21.1 million last year, due to increased debt from acquisitions and higher interest rates. Net income for the fourth quarter decreased slightly to $2.7 million from $2.9 million in the same period last year. Performance revenue in the music publishing segment decreased by 13% in the fourth quarter. Physical revenue in the recorded music segment decreased by 26% due to a lighter planned release schedule. The company faces challenges in projecting future hits, which affects revenue guidance and may appear conservative. Q: Adding the India operation brings sort of the question to, are you seeing markedly better ROIs in international geographies? Or is it still pretty one-off deals that are driving sort of where you're making your investments? A: Golnar Khosrowshahi, CEO: We certainly see better opportunities along with volume in the emerging markets, and that does definitely lead to better ROIs and less competition. So we see that in India as well as in the Middle East. Q: How do you look at sort of revenue seasonality in 2026? Does it sort of get back to your regular cadence, most likely? A: Jim Heindlmeyer, CFO: We expect to get back to the second and fourth quarters potentially being slightly higher than the first and third quarters based on the timing of certain things. We're doing our best with the accruals to try and reflect revenue accurately by quarter in the quarter that it's earned. Q: Could you talk a little bit about sort of where you're hedged and what your strategy is on that in the sort of near to intermediate term? A: Jim Heindlmeyer, CFO: We're still sitting at $150 million hedged, which is where we've been for a while. As our debt has increased with ongoing M&A activity, we are constantly evaluating whether we should put on an additional hedge. We haven't seen compelling data to pull the trigger on that yet, but it's something we constantly evaluate. Q: Can you talk a little bit more about sort of how much capital you're targeting to deploy in '26? Is there any sort of expected split between the publishing side versus the recorded side? A: Golnar Khosrowshahi, CEO: We generally have to be opportunistic around deal flow. While we may have desires around how much recorded or publishing assets we want to acquire, we are at the whim of what is in front of us and what we have a high likelihood to execute on. Q: Could you elaborate on the revenue guide for 2026, considering the amount of additions you had coming into fiscal '26? A: Jim Heindlmeyer, CFO: We don't project for hits like Espresso that generated significant revenue in fiscal '25. We are conservative in our guidance and will update it as we move through the year. We have consistently outperformed in our time as a public company and look forward to continuing to do so.

B.C. Lions: Nathan Rourke is playing loose, having fun and it's rubbing off on teammates, says GM
Article content Nathan Rourke is a happy camper it seems. Article content Article content 'You're seeing him playing looser. I think he's having fun out there,' B.C. Lions general manager Ryan Rigmaiden said Wednesday of his starting quarterback and his efforts at training camp in Kamloops. Article content 'Taking that next step in leadership with the off-season program is something that we've all been impressed with, but obviously on the field is where it really counts. I think the guys are seeing him play loose and having fun, and I think that gives them more confidence. And when the offence is confident and loose, they're usually playing fast.' Article content These new-look Lions, with former assistant GM Rigmaiden now having the final call on personnel and Buck Pierce as head coach, are closing in on their official debut. The squad visits the Edmonton Elks for their second of two pre-season games on Friday, and then it's the season opener on June 7 at B.C. Place, with the Elks providing the opposition following a pre-game concert by rapper Snoop Dogg. Check out the Lions' website for more information on proceedings. Article content Rigmaiden says that Rourke has had his best stint of camp this week in Kamloops. The Lions are banking on a revitalized Rourke, benefiting from a full off-season of preparation after coming in midway through last season from the NFL. Article content B.C. had a pedestrian 2024, finishing 9-9 in the regular season and losing in the Western Conference semifinals in a year they were hosting the Grey Cup. Rourke, 27, only showed glimpses last year of the player who had been dominant under centre for the Lions in 2022. Article content Rourke and the other starters will get anywhere from a quarter to a half of playing time on Friday, according to Rigmaiden. Rourke took just four snaps in B.C.'s first pre-season game, which was a 26-16 loss to the Calgary Stampeders in Langford. Article content 'I want to see execution. I want to see us limit the mental mistakes that we had on the Island,' Rigmaiden said. 'The buy-in is already there for the guys. I think the physical play can always be better. I want to see them just play and not think. Article content 'For Nathan, I'm just looking for consistency. He's only had limited time in this offence, but you want to see him get the ball out on time. The other guys are going to have to back him up. Nathan's going to know where to go with the ball.' Article content "These things have been around since the opening of the 1988 Olympics. We're in break, I throw it in the hallway!" 🪑 @The_Real_Moj talks #BCLions camp and pet peeves on certain @CFL press boxes on 1st and Now 😂 FULL EPISODE 📺 | @worldvisioncan — BC LIONS (@BCLions) May 28, 2025 Article content There are only three or four starting up jobs to be decided, Rigmaiden says. At the same time, he points out that these exhibition games can have a major bearing for some players, and cites defensive back T.J. Lee, who was a rookie on the bubble going into the 2014 final pre-season game versus the Calgary Stampeders. He had two interceptions that game, B.C. decided then to keep him, and he played 10 seasons with the club. Article content Article content 'Some of these guys, the lights are too bright for them,' Rigmaiden said of the newcomers. 'They may have a terrific week of practice, but they go in on game day and they're screwing up mentally or they're dropping passes or whatever it may be. And then there are some guys with a little steeper of a learning curve, and they get into a game and everything just clicks. When that happens, you have to hang onto those guys.' Article content Since taking on the top job, Rigmaiden has talked frequently about the Lions needing to be a more physical team and one that can find a way to run the ball better at crunch time. To aid in that, Rigmaiden acquired 2023 CFL Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman Dejon Allen, 31, from the Toronto Argonauts in a January trade, with linebacker Ryder Varga, 26, and a second-round pick in the 2026 CFL Draft going the other way.
