In 2013, Nike did a brief "Inspired by Koston" ad series for one of his pro shoes, where a younger Nike rider would be photographed doing a trick that Eric had done in the past, with interesting specs & "stats" given about the spot, skater, etc. It was a really cool idea, and I wish they had done more of them.
The March 2013 Nike ad in that month's issue of Thrasher is a picture of Cory Kennedy ollieing off of a bump and over a couch while holding a box of pizza and biting down on a slice in mid-air. This is an obvious nod to Koston doing the same thing in his 2002 Chomp On This video part, which also appears in a photograph featured in the Extra section of the October 2001 issue of Skateboarder. The picture and Cory's 2013 Nike ad are pictured below.
