let’s discuss (if it’s even real) how bad this will be
hashtag zumiez and tagging hypebeast and complex is nearing the level of announcing axion with a lookbook featuring nick merlino and sierra fellers

I would love to be proven wrong … but this will suck!
-
Are there any skaters hippie enough, besides maybe Evan Smith, that would fit the Ipath aesthetic of old?
Would be rad if this didn't suck. I had multiple pairs of the hemp Crickets back in the day. They were a great skate shoe.
-
Once a week this dude I work with says with his subtle southern drawl, "Man, when're they gonna do an Ipath re-boot?"
Well, Kenneth, maybe....just maybe

I ain't no hippie and never has been, however, those black grasshopers were dope.Outsole was a bit shitty though...

Ipath can either go with their Fred Gall Bobby Puleo vibe or the Rastafarian Halloween wig vibe. A true Jekyll and Hyde. I fear the corporate blood lust for Rasta hemp, rather than the thought of re-immersion into the underground/core skate scene they once successfully inhabited, may be the impetus for 2-Path.

2-Paths diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not skate them both...

The white trustafarian with dreads movment has really taken off the last few years so they might actually have a good amount of support. Especially considering the 5-8% their parents investment funds have been kicking off these last couple years. Jah bless the jobless

My mind hungers for Fred Gall and white rasta iPath, but my heart craves John Igei iPath

Without the Matts and Fred and Kenny, who cares?

I’m going George Michael on this and maintaining some faith, but only because Ipath was my favorite skate related company of all time.
Quality and materials are gonna be key. The classic designs don’t need any altering.

For real matt pailes was my fav. Sac town hero also the matt rodriguez loose trucks was my thing to copy for a while
-
It will be a zombie brand, the creatives that made it what it was are gone. The time is different. Ostalgia can fill some gaps but once we get a peek behind the curtain it’s over. The team will
Be full of young contest/vert groms and a more tech shoe range will emerge. Just let something great stay dead, every incarnation after the og just got a little worse.

This stuff never works, these over-ambitious revivalists never learn.

That happened back in 2011, though: you reckon these same bouls still own that shiz & have just been sitting on it for over a decade?
Amusing to me that the the portfolio company would be called Klone Lab & that seems to be what these new owners (whoever that may be) are trying to do.
More accurate branding would probably be Necro Factory or Zombie Farm, but Klone Lab works for me.

I went to the VC site, and yes they are still sitting on it. It looks like that Klone labs is making new balance pool slides.
I always found these types of VC acquisitions very confusing, feels like some creepy dude like Gary Vee trying to basically pull a Kendall roy "how dope are these kicks" move.

I can see it coming back like éS, with sort of updated models and keeping some of the original feel for the old heads and making new shit not many people pay attention to have a relevant feel while having a decent team. Maybe an indecisive, in-between feel.
Pivot from rasta to earthy-outdoors and it could maybe work. I'm probably a little outdated but like, ACG Arcteryx, Grammici, Carhartt, GoreTex and Soloman. IDK I like that shit even though I don't really buy that stuff. I guess you can make it for skaters, but an appeal beyond that like how people could be into Carpet, Polar, , Hockey, Butter Goods, etc. Maybe those aren't the best examples but it's stuff I've seen people who don't skate wearing that stuff.
Ah whatever, I don't know shit.

I watched this so many times. I think it came free with one of the mags at the time. So good.

I´m a sucker for skate nostalgia but has there ever been a case where resurrecting an old brand actually worked? I probably won´t get the new cats and keep on wearing my wallabees.

Need the Karl Watson panthers again

Never been a big fan of the shoes (but the team) and the logo always looked like a bull scratching its armpits to me. Nonetheless I really hope they dont fuck up and make all of you happy with the reboot. Good luck lads

I think this could work in the now ...
Hemp/Canvas with vegan glues for the earthy examples of each model
Tech materials (maybe also all synthetic) for the tech examples of each model
Bring back the 3-4 most popular models and keep them as true to the original as possible
Bring on (trying to think of current skaters who match the vibes of the original team) ...
Karl Watson (need at least one legend for launch)
Chris Colbourn
Tyson Peterson

I think this is a great idea and makes sense, but I think kicking it off with that post and those mentions and hashtags give you a real insight into how this thing is going to go.
-
I don’t think satori Craig has enough capital, but they could have maybe made this happen in a halfway decent way. Regardless, Ipath shoes went downhill after timberland acquisition. The quality of 2002ish Cats will never return.

Some SF/Magenta/GX1000/Deep Fried dudes seems like a no brainer

Considering Timberland owns them, what did you expect? The brand would do very well if it did come back and plenty of people would fit …
-
finally I can start hacky sacking again
-
It seems like Erick Winkowski has something good going with Emerica but he takes up the most pro weed and shrooms marketing in skateboarding today so they might as well endorse him.
I would 100% buy black/black Cat’s with gum soles and I’ve never owned a pair of IPath in my life.

You can’t go home again.
This has the vibe of Blueprint 2.0 with Mike York and that Tosh Townend look-a-like dread having white boy. It’s not good. Not good at all.
-
There is basically zero chance of this shit being good. 100% this will just be a half assed Sanuk hippie lifestyle brand. Probably won't ever get as far as sponsoring any skaters. Even if they tried to do it right I'm not confident that they could considering there were basically two ipath identities and the white rasta one is the one with more mainstream appeal.
-
An ipath reboot, if done right, has the best upside potential of maybe any defunct skate brand.
And, obviously, hitting us with the #zumiez is FOR SURE the way to go.

White dread having Tosh Townend look-a-like is actually pro for the killing floor now. I haven’t kept track of his career but I found that out a couple of months ago and it honestly surprised me. He also ditched the dreads and looks much better now imo. @josh_love on IG.

Peter Sidlauskas said it best in his interview with Say You Swear podcast.
Everyone wants these nostalgic companies to return until they actually do. The brands worked in their hey-day because of context (time and place). The reboot of Aesthetics, Axion, e’S, Krew etc has just come off as stale and odd because the industry adapted to their omission and moved on into other directions.
We should all just remember it for what it was and what made it special.

This is true.
But, I have never had better backside flips than I had with grasshoppers. Something about the flick on that shoe was special

The Axion reboot gets shat on often around here, but the shoes actually skated well and were made quite well.

Funny the guy who says this has no problem doing multiple collabs with DC, who have done a complete 180 and are going back full on with the nostalgia for their shoe lineup and skaters.
And fwiw Ipath for the most part does have some timeless shoe silhouettes since they're just skateable versions of other popular shoes with better materials. They could only bring back cats and grasshoppers for all I care and I'd be fine with it.

I can't recall seeing these around here, how expensive were they? Those materials look pretty premium. I'm starting to think this could have a chance in the "disposable income, I used to skate" demographic, perhaps even the "office during the week, skatepark on the weekend" scene

They were really good. I had 2 pairs of grasshoppers and the coffee reed mid back in 2012 when these came out. Had to do some digging for these pics. Peep the cracked iPhone 4 on the right.

Yeah. Imagine if they kicked everyone outside of Philly off the team and never evolve past ledge skating, they'd definitely go out of business. But no, not the case for DC, the beacon of progression in skateboarding.

reboots are always shit, but i would buy a pair of grasshoppers for sure.
completely missed out on i-path at the time - thought it was some lame plastic rasta thing. didn't really know who was on. in retrospect, one of the best teams ever.
-
Not to derail the thread, it while Peter Sidlauskas got name dropped here.. I just wanna say this real quick.
That dude needs to answer his emails and honor his word. Ordered a bunch of Bronze shit over the years, and last order was for a bunch of sets of hardware. They sent me less than I ordered, so I contacted Peter (as that’s who the contact email directs to). Peter said he’d get on it, and correct it, but never had/stopped responding to emails.
I also have friends that ordered more substantial items that they never received. Also, the change to small hardware heads from the old large heads is bunk.
Anywats, Back to your regularly scheduled IPath discussion.

I DM'd Matt Field yesterday but haven't heard back. Lugz did make a vulc version of something that looked like the "Cat". I bought a few pairs for 30 or so bucks. They fit small.
That is all I have to say at this point. I doubt the real OGs have anything to do with the reboot, otherwise they would be marketing it heavily.
It would be great to have an honest to God re-release of something, instead of stoking the hype for a re-release only to find it is markedly different than the original in a negative way. See Emerica OG-1 and almost everything else sole tech is doing, basically.

Didn’t OG I-path severely fuck Matt Rodriguez out of royalties for Cats which he designed and was supposed to be his pro model?

I've heard this. He did have a pro model later on that was kind of cat like with way more laces. Looked a bit like Jake duncombes globe pro model (funnily enough the same thing happened with Jake and the motley globe shoe).
They must have still had an okish enough deal tho because Matt rodriguez stayed on longer than a bunch of other people.

I DM'd Matt Field yesterday but haven't heard back. Lugz did make a vulc version of something that looked like the "Cat". I bought a few pairs for 30 or so bucks. They fit small.
That is all I have to say at this point. I doubt the real OGs have anything to do with the reboot, otherwise they would be marketing it heavily.
It would be great to have an honest to God re-release of something, instead of stoking the hype for a re-release only to find it is markedly different than the original in a negative way. See Emerica OG-1 and almost everything else sole tech is doing, basically.

This. I did the same. I have very little hope for this re-boot.

Didn’t OG I-path severely fuck Matt Rodriguez out of royalties for Cats which he designed and was supposed to be his pro model?
Idk how you can "design" something that is just a blatant copy of a wallabee.

Time for u dorks who have been fake-pining for this to put your money where your tofuhole is
Never fake pined for ipath but I am a fucking dork admittedly. Grasshoppers were my favourite shoe in my high school era but I couldn't appreciate the Cats then. If they could just release those two plus Panthers and Reed model that would be a good start. Assuming they get anything right that is. Which is a big assumption considering the hashtags and rumours around this, and who still owns it etc etc

This has probably never been mentioned before, but Karl is actually a really nice guy.

Damn, bummer that this is probably gonna suck. Even if they do faithful reissues of their best models (which is doubtful), the wrong marketing could make it wack to wear iPaths. Just looking at the follwing list makes it evident the people in charge of the brand have no clear direction for it. #Zumiez @ complexsneakers

Did Bigfoot come up with the “I” or the “Path” half of the name?
-
Not for nothing but my parents went on a cruise and met that dude's parents (or whoever the second have of ipath was) and they told them I skated. Dude sent me a solid box of i-path gear that included a pair of black grasshoppers that I used to wake skate for like 5 years and they held up great.
-
Did Bigfoot come up with the “I” or the “Path” half of the name?
Was wondering the same thing. What half did he come up with?
Back in 2001 the local shop here that I run now was the largest I-Path retailer in Canada despite being located in only the 16th most populated city in the country. (A difference of actually 2.2 million people compared to the most populated, Toronto.) That shit was popping like crazy here.
At one point I was showing the owner of the shop a bunch of pictures of Dunks and Jordans and how good they looked in two-tone colourways and how good that would look on a Grasshopper (which they hadn't done two-tone yet). So we scanned an I-Path catalog and used a white leather Grasshopper and a suede Grasshopper to photoshop a two tone suede on leather Hopper and made a bunch of colourways using the tint feature. We sent it directly to I-Path and they hit us back that they had been planning on making two-tone Hoppers but we opened their eyes to some different colourways. They produced a couple of our colours (brown on white and burgundy on white) and sent us a fat box each. It was a fucking dream come true.
People still come into the store asking if we still carry I-Path. I'm sure those people don't care where they get them or how cool the reboot is so maybe they will stay in business for a year.

from matt rod cbi
Forever an inspiration. So switching subjects over to IPath, what exactly was your role there over the years? Wasn’t that you, Pailes and Field at first?
Well, we all came up with the initial look: the three Matts with the name and Bigfoot with the art. I remember back when we were thinking of a name, Field was like, “Should we call it I&I?”
“No, just ‘I’... Like, the self. My path. Because the journey is about you, the ‘IPath’”
And that was it. Because the I is really about it being, “What is your path?” If you’re down with what we’re doing, that means it’s your path too. You can say “IPath” as well.
So yeah, it was us three putting it on with Bigfoot. He designed the icon, which was cool. We all kinda left it to Field to deal with the financial part. And we trusted him. Pailes and I were never really tripping on getting a percentage of things. Sure, it would’ve been nice but it was never anything that we were trying to angle for. We were just stoked to be doing something that we all believed in. We figured that our names being such a part of it, along with all of the work we were putting in, that was enough to be our stamp on the brand.
Was this just a labor of love for you guys?
Oh yeah, for sure. Because at that point, we were only getting about $500 a month. But we always knew that it would grow. We were just stoked to be riding shoes that each of us got to design and put out there. Pailes had the Buffalo, Field had the Grasshopper. And for mine, I gave them the Wallabee design but padded it up more. Beefed up the ankle, gave them the OG crust and told them to slap our skate sole on it. Because the sole we were working with was super simple, it went perfect with that type of design. And that was the Cat. I named it and gave them the idea... bam, one of our primary shoes from day 1 until the end.
Yeah, but wasn’t there some shady shit that went down with your shoe? Like they took your name off it after a while?
Yeah, the first investor took all of our names off our shoes. Because it used to have each of our names inside the tongue, where the stash pocket was. But once IPath started to explode, I’m sure the owner realized that if he kept our names on there, he’d have to pay us more. So, like a scumbag, he took them off. We knew what he was doing but we weren’t gonna let that stop us… even though it would’ve been nice to make more money. Sure, he could take our names off but our spirit is all over IPath and you can never erase that.

Yeah pulled up that your vid (Summer 01) and it def wasn’t what I was thinking of. The lost video was more city skating, like a filming trip and less of a tour. Shame.

I-path had a cult like following Japan, the team you’re here probably more than they toured in the states. I remember running into Tony Cox one night while street skating in Yokohama back in the day…

It was Michael Leon's – first he only did tees (like Andy Mueller with The Quiet Life) while still working at Girl.
Then partenered with Resse to go full skate brand. Remember Reese was originally involved with Staba's shitty company under Crailtap until Chico punched him out (that's my version).
Anyway, Michael Leon's graphics for Stacks were fantastic.
He called it quits, or put the brand on hiatus dunno, and went on to work as a creative director for big brands outside of skateboarding like Nike, Sonos and Patagonia

Wasn’t Staba’s brand Skate Mental? I remember it being Crail originally
Are you thinking of Rasa Libre for Michael Leon? I remember he was def involved with that at the start…but maybe he moved on and did Stacks too
-
Rasa Libre was previous circa 2003/2004 by Matt Field and Resse and through DLX, Michael Leon just did graphics for them.
yeah, staba's shitty company is skatemental and Reese had boards.
then around 2010, in this interview Reese said "Right when Brad pulled Skate Mental from Girl, I made a decision that I was not gonna do that, so I started talking with Michael Leon, he was thinking about turning his Commonwealth Stacks project into Stacks, the skateboard company."

Then there is another edit of a different Ipath Japan trip cut to "Sunday Morning" from their old website that is now lost skate media. I recall it being Field, Nate, Kenny, and Javier Mendizabal.
It has been found

Yesssss!!! Thank you :-)
Also, forgot that Javier Mendizabel was on; always love his footy. What’s he up to nowadays, if anybody knows?
He's a painter

Thank you for the link, I'm now a huge fan of his art in addition to his amazing skating.

It’s a nice photo but hashtagging 420 is so fucking lame to me
Definitely lame but not quite as bad as the zumiez and hypebeast hash tags they did when they first came back.

I mean it is 4/20 today… and their target demo is obviously leaned towards potheads so is it really a far reach?

Seeing my local shop posting kenny reed with ipath in hand is sick. If we get Tony cox doing 30 seconds of whatever he feels like I’m sold

when I was a teenager I identified with I-Path the most, and this was before I started smoking weed. it just seemed like the coolest most down to earth (no pun intended) brand. it helped that in 2005 they put out the best skate video ever made.
I never owned a pair of cats but I did have a low top. it had the logo on the outside heel and it was pleather (if I recall.) I'm not sure what model that was. now that I'm a conscious being who knows my place in the cosmos, AND I occasionally smoke legal prescribed cannabis, I would be more than down to buy this brand again.

Tony don’t skate. You get 30 seconds of belly dancing and zoomin zoom out if you lucky.

Cats probably was one of the best skate shoey I ever had.
Y'all remember what a kickflip felt like in those? I feel like this is the perfect time for relaunch. And launch for that other bland with bigfoot.
I would love to see a crunchy backpack rapper hip hop hippie Renaissance in Boston. That was the best non punk movement I can think of.
Shit was so sick. Passing the mic in the middle east cafe with insight mastersuvdauniverse. Dr claw and the band that would become Savin Ill.
Werd up to the Schrafft center/John Hancock building posse 2k2

The fact they have 'DM for Retailer/Distributor Inquiries' in the bio of the instagram tells me everything I need to know about this reboot..

Grasshoppers, Cats, Crickets, 1984, and Reeds in all the old colors plus they are claiming a bunch of the old gear.
