VERSA you are right... I am 30 yrs old and I skate... To say that that the rest of the nike team suck apart from Childress is...F**king plain STUPID!!!
man these guys are at the forefront of skating, I bet jevad is one of these 'punk' skaters...
look tech, pool or vert... everyone sk8ing is about fun, the love NOT the hating...as we say here in north london...FIX UP jevad!!!

I have a pair of Lakais now, but I don't care for 'em much. I wish DC would bring back the Clockers, damn they were sweet kicks. The Rudy Johnson 2s, also.

Anyone know some skate shoes that your feet don't actually boil in ?

If your into it heart and soul it shouldn't matter what commerical crap is out there or what damn shoes you wear-
I skated for 10 years and wore what I liked- wether it be Nike or Airwalks or Vans- who cares- I just wanted to skate with friends...
Shut up and skate.

I'll be honest, I have not read this thread (except for jevad's initial statement) but - as a long time skater from way back, skate gear of any kind made by Nike is made for punk ass, poser, dipshits.

For some, Nike embraces everything that skateboarding doesnt.
shoe:my airwalk 720's were the most solid shoe ever. Ugly as sin, but functional....
Question:
What is the relationship between skateboarders(or surfers) and designers? It seems like there is at least one in every office.
- MLPROJECT0
that's a good question... but iit's even always seemed "popular" to be into design, art, etc in circles i've been in
- ross0
it just seems like quite a few of us here hold skateboarding close to our hearts.
- jevad0
back when I started skating - it was (and still is really) about having fun and doing your won thing. NOT being fuckign BRANDED. You think Nike jumped on teh bandwagon because they love skating? NO - it makes them boatloads of cash - and thats all skateboarding seems to be about these days - how many fucking stairs you can 360 flip and the $$.
The roots have been lost.
Get back to the roots.

jevad, you better have been a mirror image of duane peters, or i don't believe a word you're saying...
- jevad0
lol!
duane 'disaster' peters....
- gruntt0
jevad- i'd like to think the roots are still there for the ones who get it. The ones who say "how many 360's can you do?" won't stick with it. I will forever be a skater in my soul - some of you know what i mean.
