Under Armor makes great hiking gear. Obviously going to be a seamless transition from that to skateboarding.

Underarmor is the Darkstar of the gear community:

They definitely have a following but the quality isn't there. Not sold in core shops. The snobby outdoor enthusiasts would kook yah.

I would definitely fall into that category.

How about that:

Dave is former pro skater Dave Mayhew. More importantly, Mayhew is also the guy who designed the D3 in the first place. He’s on the call, too, and between my questions, Rocky and Dave sweetly trade compliments. Rocky makes it very clear that this wouldn’t have happened without Dave; Dave knows it wouldn’t have happened without Rocky calling him up out of the blue. “Initially I worked on the shoe decades ago,” Mayhew explains. “I was just living my life, and out of nowhere got contacted by Under Armor. They wanted me to get together with Rocky and just kinda discuss the whole thing. At first I was a little hesitant, just because [the D3 is] kind of a gift and a curse for me.” But they got together, hit it off, and decided to bring the monster back—or the spirit of it—in a new way.
...

But despite their provenance, Rocky doesn’t plan to skate in his. (“You know god damn well I can't skate! I'm not trying to have a real Lupe Fiasco moment.”) Instead, he says, “it's targeted to be a rave sneaker more than anything, because I don't really like lounges and clubs. If you ask anybody, I don't even dress club appropriate half the time. If it wasn't for my celebrity, I probably wouldn't even have access! If you want to go mosh, if you want to slamdance, if you want to jump on people's backs and shit, this is the perfect shoe for that. You know what I'm saying? This is for fucking skate raving. Most of my friends skate any goddamn way. So it all works out.”

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-under-armour-slashes-400-more-jobs-in-cost-cutting-push/

"Sportswear maker Under Armour Inc. will cut about 400 jobs, or 3 per cent of its global work force, as part of efforts to cut costs in its struggle to compete with Nike and Germany’s Adidas in North America.

Under Armour has been running a cost-cutting program since the start of the year as results remained patchy and the bankruptcies of a handful of U.S. sporting goods added to its woes."
