Heard they are done. Skate brand anyway.
-
You believe everything you hear?
-
if it comes from the dude at journeys, yes.
-
To me, Adio's like that old aunt we all had who lived in the nursing home for so long. ?
You knew it was coming one day.
-
i can't say much, they mae realy ugly shoes, but i had a pair...can't remember what they were called, they were really good though.
-
I remember in like 7th grade when all the dudes in my school rocked some Jeremy Wray joints. I was like "...dang"
-
They used to be popular, but I doubt that most skater kids now can even remember when Adio was cool. Hate to say it, but nobody, maybe even the team riders, will miss them.
-
Creager was talking about it.
-
I blame Hoffart. He was on Powell and it tanked. Then he was recently added to the Adio team and it tanked. Bones better boot him while they stil can.
-
Creager was talking about it.
Didn't Creager just get added to Adio too?
-
don't front like you didn't own a pair or wanted a pair of these

the corp also owns fubu, phat farm and some udder shit too

but, yeah...we'll see hwat the new line up looks like
I would listen to this guy^^^^He sounds reliable.
-
I used to watch that video mostly of Britney Spears that came free with a magazine, that was pretty good. Kenny Anderson had a sick short part to Stevie Wonder, "Isn't she lovely." I was hoping the title of this thread was their next video.
-
I was hoping for a cake.

i had like 20 pairs of these

adios were the only pair of shoes that you could skate perfect straight out of the box, i had me some hawk, wrays, and dompierres, but now they suck, my buddy got a pair cause he knew i used to be psyched on them and the grip pretty much just ripped right off.
that free video they put out was good stuff.

had the brown leather ones...oh.
-
Closest adio shoes that I wanted was Danny Montoya pro model. But i never owned a pair of adio's. They had a good team when "one step beyond"came out
-
I blame Hoffart. He was on Powell and it tanked. Then he was recently added to the Adio team and it tanked. Bones better boot him while they stil can.
hoffart basically put that powell team together and helped make sure that video turned out the way it did so i would have to disagree with that statement. if the other riders had stayed they basically had their own company where they could do whatever they wanted and could make their own rules and get paid to do it. adio fell apart because even if they did have all the best skaters theyd still blow it. theres no real direction to anything they do over there.
-
I skated the first jeremy wrays, because they were on sales. I've always been the poorest kid so I went for it, when I had to.
-
not a big surprise
too bad for creager cause he finally got on the team
-
The sumners were good...
-
most of they shoes sucked i admit...but they used to have a solid team and started to pump good shoes.
just change the fucking name of the brand and start from scratch with the same team
-
doesnt anyone remember the jamie thomas 5050s those shoes were the best.
-
doesnt anyone remember the jamie thomas 5050s those shoes were the best.
jamie thomas 5.0's yes i remember and i had many pairs... seems like they turned in the jeremy wrays which were the only other adio shoe i bought..
bummed on poor creager, back on lakai flow i guess :-\
-
had one pair of Kennys that everyone had. I remember them fitting AMAZING, but skating like shit for some reason.
i remember wanting a pair of the Deans for a minute cause they looked kinda like chucks, but then I read a review that they were super stiff and skated like garbage.
Adios Adio. (and fuck me for typing that)

yeah for me it was the Bams. seemed so awesome then.
-
I never owned a pair of Adios. Hey! Adios, Adios.
Anyway, never liked them. Put them in the same class as DC's, DVS, Osiris, Globe...just not shoes I'd ever want to wear. I can't front too hard though...I did have a pair of Chad Muska's Circa whateverthehellyoucallit thing with 1,000,000 seams...so we all make mistakes.
-
I always have a hard time finding a shoe I really like, but I had like 3 pairs of the J-Wray's. ? I was not psyched then they stopped making them and then Kenny, Brian B, Montoya, Roberts all were gone. ? Sounds like a management/direction change occured. ? Wasn't this Chris Miller's company? ? Maybe he wanted less control, then out entirely, and a bunch of the team felt the same.

Those were hands down the worst shoes I've ever skated. And I've skated these.

I remember back when One Step Beyond came out. I was working at a shop, and we got in out batch of DVDs, opened one up as a shop copy so we could watch it. Watched part way through, and then there was a glitch and the dvd would take a shit. We figured it might just be that copy, but then all the locals who bought the video came back with the same problem. I guess the master dvd they sent to the plant to make copies had a glitch, so all of their dvds were fucked up. Talk about blowing it.

. . . . good thing i got it on VHS.

Confirmed.

It's crazy that in a world where half the dudes who have pro models don't deserve 'em, Ronnie can't even get a shoe sponsor.

hahaha, i won a pair of silver ones off the internet in 8th grade. best day of my life right there.

Hopefully Nick Tucker gets picked up from this. Dude's real good and should be on something legit.

This.
Terry Kennedy has a 'banger' via hypebeasties, and Mr. Creager, an unsung legend, struggles for a seller. Bad form.

Creager has got to have the worst shoe luck! Heard there will be room over at Lakai very shortly...It would be sick if they hook him up but doubtful.

If Lucas is really of Lakai, I hope Ronnie will jump there.

Ronnie deserves it for sure but the people who distribute Lakai are having themselves a very rough week also....the Lucas thing....///
-
Well I don't know if this is entirely true because their site's still up and they have three new riders on the team one of them is Ronnie Creager.

damn, I feel bad for Ronnie, he's been having really bad luck with a shoe sponsor in the last 10 years ever since Nadia went under.
-

come on! this is bullshit, adio went out of business YESTERDAY and you are saying that the company that had him on his flow program for months before he could get a contract with another shoe company its now making him room? A day later? come on
-
Damn, sucks for everybody that was on. Hopefully they can find some good shoe sponsors now though
-
Sux especially for Jordan.. He was on a fucking flow for like 10 years, and when he finds a real shoe sponsor, it has to be Adio and it has to quit.
-
damn, i think it's funny they were putting out an online video, only two parts and thats it?

Yeah that's weird, I wanted to see a new Anthony Schultz part.
-
It's hard to get on fully with any shoe company nowadays because most companies are just tight on budget, but I'm sure they will be getting shoes flowed to them from a company of their choice in no time.

as long as K2 doesn't pull the plug on these then all is right with the world

so whats going to happen to everyones parts for going forward? only a couple people put their parts out like hoffart and 1 or 2 other dudes and i bet most of those guys parts were mostly done.

Before we're done here can we all agree that "Going Forward" is a terrible name for a video?

it is for this vid, since it all came to an abrupt stop

video should be called "didn't hit the Quarterly forecast set by the Board of Directors"
or "our marketing budget went to Mr. Coffee" or you can substitute any of the other Jarden Consumer Solutions.

Haha, this is probably more true than you know. If Jarden can't hit its quarter they usually just acquire it.

Adios Adio.

the managers final realized that they weren't selling shoes to skaters and figured not having a team wouldn't hurt
they are probably right

I guess their main public its this type of non-skaters-douchebags that wanna look like skaters
so taking the "skate" out the equation doesn't seem a nice idea...
but on other hand: its the same people that still thinks bams rides for adio, that he's cool, "extreme" and good on skating.... so it will take a while for them to realize that this new adio-walmart shit has nothing to do really with skating anymore

mega huge padded tongues were the fucking shit r.i.p.
