it doesn't really bother me, but i think it would bother alot of people.
a good example of bad taste i think.

i'd be curious to know how many skaters are vegetarian. All the ones i knew were drug guzzling meatatarians

I'm a veggie, but not offended. Leather = meat, not like you didnt know that already.

I could see that pissing some people off.

i kinda had mixed feelings about nike in skateboarding.
but i love the shoes. seriously the most comfortable skateshoes i've ever had on my feet.as far as bad taste, you mean the angus and meat references?
i dig it. i don't see the problem.or am i not getting what you're saying?

the angus is known as
"the meat and potatoes"
of skate shoes.

it's kinda bad taste to use this meat as decoration for your fun time skate products... meat which is from a living creature and in more civilized societies gets respect and dignity.

alright someone point me out to a nike add | web site that does suck.
cause i've never seen any.

you can't be cutting edgy and not offend someone with some sort of morals.

why would someone be offended, and if someone did get offended by it then that person probably spends there life writing in to complain about everything the have ever seen.
go picket a butchershop.

the angus is synthetic.

the sight of raw meat can be jarring. I think that's part of the intent. don't think it's offensive enough. kickass site, could use more wicked wideangled skate shots though to meet the industry's print ads.

i'm actually relieved of not seeing everything wide-angle.
too much of that in skateboarding. especially in videos.
french fred knows what's up.

it's like calling your fat ass friend "TINY"
knaw' mean...!?
actually, i think they are leather, i'm just trying to make sense out of this crazy world.

You're asking if Nike has bad taste??
You've seen their shoes, right?

Nike being involved in skateboarding is bad taste.

shit a brick...your telling me shoes is from cows. NO!
why did no one ever tell me this before?

i suppose the thing about meat is i expect to see meat from someone selling meat, not skate shoes.
maybe nike should give some food to the people in their sweatshops.
cool site though.
