Any shops get the Adidas email that said if they don't take in $10K before end of year that their account is terminated?

Same shit the swoosh did once they got bigger.
-
So stop carrying them and carry skate shoes again...might not be a bad thing after all?
-
heard the same shit like 2 years ago and skateshops still carry them.
-
They cut us off from having a rep last year, we also got that letter and just barely hit the minimum.
If we lose our account I don't think it will be that big of a deal.
More Lakai, Es', Emerica shoes on the wall.

just go to a real shop and not order on the internet ya'll.

Skaters who work for these brands are very defensive about them
It seems and like to say all the positive things they do for skateboarding
Which is true.
Has anyone that works at Nike/addidas that is a skateboarder addressed
In the pristine world of skateboard media..
Seems kinda shitty to me.. and I started the other thread..
I’m a very conflicted bloke 🤨

As long as I can still order them online were good, I would even still buy Addidas if they dropped their entire skate team.

Adidas is that soccer shoe brand, right?

uh but the rest of skateboarders won’t.

I heard about this awhile back. As indicated by the responses here, it seems that while some argue this is terrible and putting shops in a tough position, others will defend the quality of the shoes.
-
Adidas and their wack as fuck shoe designs (new models) and 90 percent white color ways can eat a dick
-
Honestly not a fan of their shoes for skating. Tried the Suciu Adv and the buzenitz and they were waaaaay to slim on my feet. Tried to size up and everything. Had to take them back. They look cool though. Just going to skate Lakai for the rest of my life.

Mall shops are gonna suffer!

It kills me but... A lot of dumb kids will still skate them even if that happened. Same with Nike I am sure.
-
similar situation to nike. i'm stoked on this and it makes me want to support them but they're still a multi national giant ass corporation that uses sweatshop slavery......
if they're divesting themselves of skateshops, i'll buy whatever i can get for cheap. i've bought busenitzes and another pair, forget what they're called. campus?

Although I’ve never tried them and am unlikely to, Adidas does score a bit better than Nike on a range of ethical issues

What's your point ? And if you don't mind me asking whats your preferred shoe brand ? Vans im guessing.

Their olympic weight lifting shoes are great. Skate-wise, I'm sticking to Emerica.

Their olympic skateboarding shoes are great. I'm sticking to team America.

If Nike and Adidas dropped their whole team, including all of the flow riders, half of all sponsored skaters would find themselves licking their fingers and applying that shoegoo to some oldschools.

they attempt to make Australian shops have a minimum 30k spend

As a kid wouldn't it be cooler to wear shoes that other people don't have and wear brands people aren't into so you aren't looking like all the other kids who don't skate but wear Jankoskis etc?

there was so many n't's in that sentence its hard to understand, but i would much rather skate some reeboks or other non-skate branded shoes than an es at this point. No diss to anyone who wears es they are fine shoes they just dont interest me in the slightest.

It’s because eS once had Tom Penny on the team. Now they give Andy Schrock shoes.

Well, grammar and the rules of the English language were never my strong suit. Was just stating that as a kid who is a skateboarder, would it be cooler to wear es, lakai, emerica etc. rather than continue to buy Nike Adidas and Cons if they dropped their teams and pulled them from shops? Especially if a larger group of people wearing those brands are non skateboarders, like the kids who wear Janoski's but have on a Vans tshirt at the same time.
