niggas really be feelin GUILTY about wearing nikes, adidas, etc?
its a fuckin shoe. i mean really, QUALITY shoes at that. just because the companies arent 100% skateboarding doesnt make them evil. its fucking footwear, not a badge of credibility. ive had around 7-8 different pairs of nikes sb's & they've all been some of the best shoes ive skated in. the new dunks probably have the lightest & longest lasting cupsole on the market right now & its based off a basketball shoe. the thing about these bigger corporations is that they can use their exclusive tech & designs that work in other styles of footwear & make that into great skate shoes. the busenitz was based off dennis' favorite soccer cleat, and it was fuckin hit. nikes using that lunarlon shit from running shoes and implementing that into their shoes as well. that shit is dope. if companies outside of skateboarding wanna get in tha game all that i ask is that they come correct with their shit. with nike & adidas making some of the best shoes out right now & having super sick teams id say they've made their place in skateboarding. even if yall wanna say "oh but they have all the money for their marketing campaign, blah blah" you cant say that they havent put that shit to good use.
