I love the Gonz and Busenitz, but no more Adidas shoes for me.
[close]

I dont see the connection between Adidas and MJ not sticking to his words. The bad character here is MJ and not adidas. If he told lakai "hey, i'm sorry but i cant delay the departure since they want to annouce me on the away days premiere" all would be cool, but he choose to lie about it and thats lame. Blame him.

What if we brought up that adidas is a nazi company who made the boots for the Wehrmacht? Would that help?

Do you know that adidas wasnt the first 3 stripe brand in existence? The first one was Karhu, a finnish shoe company with 100 years of history. They sold the 3 stripes branding in the 50's for some whisky bottles, a thousand of dollars and a hand shake. Is this relevant to this conversation? No, neither your statement.

Also, does anyone have screen cap of that deleted chocolate insta post?

skateskateskate · « **Reply #213 on:** May 17, 2016, 03:44:16 PM »

no mention of Altamont Capital Partners?

what if in the interview, carroll gave mark like a two weeks notice about him getting kicked off, just to back up his "gentleman's" ideals n shit in regards to no contracts and giving him notice about the lakai/adidas transformation. i completely agree, marc decision was fucking dumb and he is a huge backstabber, but carroll could have set a precedent with this two weeks notice thing lol. either way, kicking him off today or in a while still is whats best, just something i thought about.

Are we ever going to get a decent explanation on the Kookston and Guy departure?

Is this MJ's response?

[close]

Obviously not since that photo was posted 5 days ago. But I was gonna post that as a perfect example of why I could never understand why anyone thought MJ was funny or cool. So painfully lame. Definitely one of the most amazing skaters ever, but the dude's an idiot. Making a corny ass face and dumb voice every time the camera's pointed at him. "Hey watch me smoke cigs and check out how smart my books are." How many times can you pretend you're rowing a boat on your skateboard?

He's a fraction funnier than Jimmy Carlin, which is a severely insulting statement.

Hahahahahahahahahaha!

Also, holy crap there are a lot of people watching this thread/forum at this moment.

Adidas put it in the video with MJ's approval. Gonz and Busenitz are tainted by association.

Chocolate deleted that post from their instagram.

i'm not worried, i think guy, koston, mj, and carroll will all get back together the time avengers 3 comes around

I think people forget that marc johnson is a chronic alcoholic and that being shady and losing friends is just part of price.

also carroll can you please kick raven off chocolate as well

So basically they have to throw away all their MJ products (boards, shoes and so on) which is most likely costing Crailtap a lot of money. Maybe the nail in the coffin?

Skateboarding hasn't been this lit since Keelan got exposed as a child predator.

I would still buy the MJ Lakai shoe if I knew the cash would all go to MC etc and not MJ.

can't wait for the crailtap epicly latr'd to come out in 2025 that ought to shed some more light on all this!

eSHkidd · « **Reply #232 on:** May 17, 2016, 04:16:20 PM »

Carroll needs to come out saying that sales of Lakai MJ's will only be benefitting crailtap. I can get behind some pairs for that

Marc skated to the "Animals - Don't let me be Misunderstood" in his most recent "part". Was published in March. He already knew back then?

I have so much to say on this topic, but I'll try and keep it limited.

(4) Carroll has always been very reserved. For him to pop off like this likely means that MJ just fucked up - big time. It sounds like Carroll was very cool with letting him transition to Adidas but wanted to do it in an appropriate way to keep the company - that supported Marc when he was drinking in the woods - rolling. Marc, for whatever reason, blew him completely off. Again, Carroll does not blast people like this on purpose. It's clear that MJ was a piece of shit.

Didn't want to quote everything, but basically all of Labor's post. Over the years I've heard several stories from people in that circle of the industry about MJ just being a total dick and lousy person in general, dating all the way back to the Enjoi days.

Carroll and Howard are two of the best in so many ways. Nothing but respect for those guys. I do wonder how much Altamont's involvement has influenced recent events though. It seems many big changes have occurred since they came around.

I skated no other shoe than Lakais from 2002-2010. Looking forward to picking up a pair of the re-released Staples. Excited to see what Crailtap has in store for the future.
