I can see Proper being a better name.

Proper sounds like a cool name and the new P logo look really nice too! 😉

He changed up his insta, deleted all the old stuff. It threw me off for a minute, didn't know who I was following.

Proper is a cool name, I don't like the logo though. The octagon/diamond thing is kind of lame, would rather the P logo be a shoelace or something.

Wait, he actually changed the name out?
While proper sounds pretty classic (and reminds me of 'simple shoes') that P logo is gunna get all mixed up that palace/ politic/ polar/ poler shit
Don't you dare make a hat with a single P on it :D 

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year

I like the P. If you look at it, it actually looks a little unique. I get the whole Polar, Palace thing though. Also, Primitive uses a "P" on everything.

But, if used correctly, who cares. No one is going to notice.

I hope kids and hypebeasts mistake that P. It only means more sales that way!  :D

There are already two Proper companies I know of. One is a shoe shop in Long Beach. Been there for ages. The other one is a food company that seems to be popping up around SF. There are a ton of other Proper brands as well but I guess no footwear. Better name though.

Thanks everyone, yeah it's Proper now, which was actually my first name idea when I started working on this. Trademark shit is a bitch, everything has been done, etc but I'm psyched on it. More soon...

Man, that's gotta be a relief. Can't imagine how bummed Mother must have been when they had to change their name to Quasi.

It was weird at first, but I think it's grown on everyone.

Nope, we should still be on schedule, got some tooling adjustments to make but that should be fine. I just gotta figure out how much it's gonna cost me to take that finger logo off the bottom.

Proper sounds much better!

Sounds upscale and classy, and rather quite British.

I like the logo. I thought of Politic for a sec but I doubt that anyone will mistake the logo for Polar/Poler/Politic/Palace/etc...

Will you be based in Portland or in CA?

Take a look at State, even though they are skater owned the designs are boring just like Dekline. I don't see them lasting even with the team they have. Watch out and please try to make shoes that get people hyped when they look down at their feet.

oh whoops, i guess a better question would have been what shoe silhouette types/designs he was considering, which might have also been answered.
