Always wondered if Vans ever tried to swoop up Louie Lopez or if they did and why it didnt work out. For a long time before he was on cons i always forgot that he was on globe and wondered why Vans never went for him considering the flip/Curren caples connection. Only slight assumption I had was that people at vans possibly didnt want both louie and curren on a shoe team because of marketing purposes or team aesthetic. I guess aesthetic involves marketing.
