I can see where you're coming from with that. For me, that company would be something like Lakai. Shoes tear up super fast, every skater that I've met that wears them has this weird, stuck-up attitude and only does tech ledge tricks (Except for one dude), and their designs just don't appeal to me. They might work for some people but I don't think I'd like them at all.
I'll stick with Fallen, Vans, and Emerica.
