Who from dekline has managed to get a shoe sponsor?

Could see slash on supra unless they go under too. It's a crime if two of the gnarliest dudes ever like Dane and Tommy are not able to land anything more than a nike flow, but I don't really see them fitting on anything right now

Tim Tim on New Balance. Matt B Vans (but also works for Vans so I'm not sure how to classify that). Blake Carpenter Nike (before it went under though.)

You're right though, a lot of those guys were left in the dust by that. Sucks.

Hahaha.. I found that pair of those Adidas. Believe it or not these were huge in the NYC street skateboarding scene of the late eighties.. just as big as these dunks.



Ha.. these shoes cost $20 dollars a pop. If I could go back in time.

I owned many pairs of those Adidas Instincts. They were still cheaply built with the painted outsoles and weak dye. Jordan's were sort of an anomaly since they were well built (unlike the original Dunks) but less bulky than Weapons or Ewings. I couldn't bring myself to wear those Ellesses, although you could pick them up for $15.

In any case, I saw non-skate shoes in the mid-80s as an economic necessity. 95% of skaters, including those in magazines, wore Vans High Tops. Neil Blender was the only pro to wear basketball shoes until the first picture of Gonz wearing Jordans at Oahu skate camp ran in Thrasher. Ubiquitous bargain bin Jordans were comparable in price to $31 Vans Highs, but didn't blow out as fast. By the late '80s, almost every skater wore last season's dead stock basketball shoes since Vans still couldn't figure out the ollie patch and Airwalk was trying to shake their initial Mervyn's association. Eventually a skate shoe industry emerged to address the issues that non-skate shoes couldn't resolve.

i had some of those instincts..went from Jordan Ones to those..but then discovered Saucony Hang Times, which were almost as good as the Jordans and crazy cheap. ..when those ran out I went to Vans authentics and old schools, got psyched on board feel and skating low tops.

Fallen is one of those brands you can't really recover from.

It's funny how having grown up skating during the early-mid 2000s warps my perception of the current skate industry climate. To me, Fallen was major, you'd never think of it as a place on par with Vox.

I hope Tommy finds a new home

where do you guys see this team going? like jon dickson or slash, who else do you see them riding for? emerica? what about dane burman or crevantes? it makes me wonder.
I think dane is already getting hooked up NB#. Im pretty sure that what he's been wearing on his latest instagram videos. I really hope Tommy Guns finds a new home. Cant really see him on anything other then fallen. Maybe DC?

Nothing I do deserves more than an iphone camera.
