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.

i had like 20 pairs of these

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.

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.

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

Filip · « **Reply #53 on:** November 23, 2010, 05:38:32 PM »

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.

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.
