new bearing company- Cortina
« on: January 17, 2018, 05:33:51 PM »
Saw these posts on instagram today and got me wondering. Possibly a bearing company out of the FA/hockey camp?

I think there are more bearing companies than wheel companies these days.

Starting a bearing company just seems like a shitty front to sell stickers. You're know they're all just going to ride Swiss anyways.
Because you can't kill and idea, and we will not be ruled!

the visuals are also mad visual yo

While I'm admittedly curious, they look like they're trying to be the Supreme of bearings...

Wait till you see em guys, it's a bearing brand with graphic bearing shields and bolts to match. Elijah is on the team and has blue flames on a black bearing as his pro-model. Pretty sure its Nak, Elijah, K-Walks, n some other F.A kids. Shit is both ridiculous and ridiculously hype at the same time.

this is all true, so you get two sets of 8 shields to customize your bearings and they give you coloured axle nuts. they arent cheap but they arent too expensive.

Don’t forget the part where they also give different colored balls just in case you want to run shieldless.

Nah, they'll just call it Nike Speed Bearings and keep using the NikeSB logo.

They'll be able to monetize anything so long as they're connected to Supreme and FA. Cortina may very well sell more shirts at a markup than sets of bearings.

They had an ad in the latest issue of Thrasher. I knew I was uninterested in them, but was expecting them to be in between Bronson and Andale.

When Bones Bearings exist, why does anyone think a bearing company is a good idea? The only bearing company that was interesting to me in the last couple decades was that non-skate bearing manufacturer that put Arto on a few years ago (I don't remember the name). Still wish I'd tried a set of those.
