Title: power shoes - toast
Post by: professional on April 21, 2008, 05:37:43 AM
Power shoes have closed their doors...a shame since they were just starting to rack up a good team. I'm curious as to what's next for all the dudes who ride for them?

a dod in my city gets flowed by power, he's gonna be soo bummed. He was all psyched cause they told him he was going to go on tour this summer.
I don't care though, dude is a total dork, good skater, but totally sucks at being alive.

Power had a bunch of Canadian skaters that were really sick too.  And no, they did not have giant white T's and new eras.

Well let's say I was told a few weeks ago that everything was good and we had some good things going for the brand, which was going in the right direction.......slowly, and then the boss of a boss got fired after 30 plus years of work. The new guy looke at the skate brand and said "Sorry, not cutting it peace out!" the whole skate brand. Bata is a huge corp. so power shoes will still make athletic shoes and what not they were just over the skate shit! Any shoe TM's Holla, this fool needs some kicks! HAHA....

i think theres only so many times we can badger jamie thomas into getting someone on their team....

if jamie thinks hes would be a fit on the team then it will happen... but personally i cant see cliff on fallen, unless he starts going on a rail-slaying mission....
