I don't give a fuck who goes on it, K-Swiss is lame as hell for trying to capitalize on skateboarding like that.
but nike, adidas, and converse are the hottest shit out......makes perfect sense.
don't get me wrong, I don't believe regular people should wear K-Swiss, much less skateboarders, but they are only following all the other major athletic shoe brands. it definitely is lame what they are doing, but that goes for the other 3 too.
But, the other companies has legit guys to back up the shoes. K-Swiss has one guy, and it's Greg Lutzka...
At least Nike and Adidas actually are athletic shoes in some form. It's a little bit more legit than some casual shoe company trying to rip off skating. Converse was one of the first shoes used for skating in the 70's, as well. So it technically is the first "skate" shoe.
If I had to choose between the 4, it would be Adidas, just because of Busenitz, Silas, and Gonz. I could give a fuck about Nike's team. I would say P-Rod but he's on Target now, so whatever. Only dude on Nike that I like is Al Partanen, on Creature.
