"THANK YOU for 18 YEARS of love & support @volcomskate ! Forever thankful 4 the miles & memories. Will no longer be riding for Volcom but wanted to wish everyone the best and give a major shout out to @remystratton & everyone involved 4 holding it down all these years. This was the footage that I sent in to try and get sponsored by Volcom when I was 10. S/O pops for filming and thank you to everyone at Volcom for believing in me at such a young age.
BIG LOVE ALWAYS"

How are those cords? Been on the fence on copping them, but not sure how the fit is.

The only thing that can out-compete an 18 year sponsor and signature clothing line is Supreme money and we all know that.
Cons and Carhartt have also been a thing these past couple years but Supreme would make more sense.

Seeing it happen now. So many skate shops have been posting their pants and seeing it more and more in the wild.
Hoping to see a few new riders added to the team with the departure of Louie.

Dickies?
Didnt even think of this one, but it makes sense with them dropping a new full length vid this year and they have a heavy squad. Im sure they can pay pretty well since they dont have a snowboard/surf team to pay also

Yeah, I remember people saying Louie wouldn't leave Volcom for Supreme a while back since he was getting paid more than any pro on Supreme for a clothing sponsor. But, who knows what Supreme is now budgeting for riders since they were sold to VF Corp in that time frame. Although, it sort of goes against the brands image, I can't think of a power move they've made putting someone on. Mostly it was just people Bill filmed, and hung around the Supreme shops.

I liked the Louie signature clothes that Volcom did in the last couple years (there was those green cords, some jeans, a couple shirts) specifically because they didn't really have visible Volcom logos on them; but in retrospect, that was probably a sign of how psyched he was on the brand.

They're really nice quality for Volcom and the price. Maybe just a bit under Polar 93 cords quality wise, and a little less baggy. I usually don't like Volcom so I was surprised how much I dig these.

Thanks for the info, been eyeing these and 93s lately for a nice semi baggy fit pant, but will prob pull the trigger on the cords, color seems nice too.

I always loved these ads too, and been wearing Volcom since I was a kid, their chinos are great for everyday fits, even to the office.
But if I was a girl and I saw someone wearing this, like a lot of my friends in HS did, I would understand getting teased looking back at it now lol

I sized up because they have stretch and ultimately shrink a bit in the wash, sizing up also made them very close to 93 fit

Now it’s for guys who are wandering around the outlet mall waiting for their wives…..
Honestly though Volcom has always dropped money on skaters which is sick….that said….it can’t last forever….
I work in a corporate environment and in this case, they can measure what they are spending on a team… but can’t measure the benefits….

watch it be the relaunched Levi's skate program

I don't know what sponsors he will have after volcom but Louie deserves the best, so whatever shit you pay him good is fine even if it was H&M or Primark. I had by pure chance the pleasure of taking turns filming a line at Congress in Madrid with a friend of mine while he filmed his with the FA team. Honestly I have seen many skaters in my life impress me live but he is amazing. Besides he is super humble and nice. The rest of the crew were kind of on their own, they kept to themselves hiding behind their van, AVE first. Fuck it, you can be the best in the world but when you go to a new spot in a city that is not yours show some respect and friendliness to the locals. Louie, Ben, Sean Pablo and another guy I don't know the name shaved head tactfully. Great skaters and chill vibe, which is what counts at the end of the day. Sean Pablo who many of you criticize on the other hand rocks, he looks like a real street rat to me. I wanted to say that even if you guys don't give a shit. Ah, Sage, super stylish but he was two hours trying fs tail heel out screaming and pulling the board, totally out of context. Relax man, no one gave a shit, like this post!

Genuinely curious why deluxe hasn’t relaunched Forties at least to some extent. Just doing T-shirt’s would surely sellout

seems like a testament to how well connected/respected you are in skating when you've got your choice of sponsor with viable connections to each.
i've enjoyed reading the speculation but between Carhartt WIP, Huf and Supreme, I'd probably guess Supreme.

Faded Glory or bust

Louie strikes me as the type of guy that wouldn't want to ride for a brand like Supreme.

This Supreme speculation makes no sense to me. He's never been featured in any kind of Supreme/Fat Bill/John Wilson edit, I've never seen him wear anything by Supreme, and there doesn't seem to be any interest from him in that crew. His only possible ties to Supreme look to be merely being on FA and being friends with Na-Kel. I don't know where this is coming from.

To be fair. If I was riding and being paid by Volcom, I wouldn’t wear Supreme either. He would likely never be in a supreme video because he didn’t ride for supreme.
It was completely insane Reynolds wasn’t in any New Balance edits prior to getting on the team. Hardly skated with anyone else on that team.

Louie was in Blessed, while still on Flip.

I mean he joined FA to "skate with his friends" but posts a ton of videos of himself skating with people that aren't on FA.

If Bobby D is also off NOAH, I'd love to see a Bobby D & Louie run clothing brand.

Looks like DeBobby and friends are launching a clothing line. Guess this means Noah skate is officially done.

Also idk if anyone said it but I was going to guess Former or RVCA. Either that or Elenex.

Me either. Slap is my only news source. I remember that there was a lot of Noah talk at the time, and the stoke at the time was high until eyeing the price tags.

Now it’s for guys who are wandering around the outlet mall waiting for their wives…..
Honestly though Volcom has always dropped money on skaters which is sick….that said….it can’t last forever….
I work in a corporate environment and in this case, they can measure what they are spending on a team… but can’t measure the benefits….
lol at that first comment. That and all these fucking scooter kids & padded up fetus’ at the local…
My homie was getting flowed some volcom stuff and said they fired the TM too, not sure if it’s related or if they’re just not selling as many skinny jeans as expected… I dunno
Their videos have been getting harder to watch too; that weird truck video they made with cj collins, the equally weird desert camping trip one with the cringy voiceovers talking about how old the brand is and that vitals video from last year with cj blowing up his knee, like no one wants to see that shit. smh.
seems like volcom’s been living in the past anyways, all the best for Lou! He don’t need those Orange County old heads !

Honestly….has anyone ever been on vacation and suddenly disgusted with other people on vacation?

I don't have to be on vacation for that. I can just drive down to Orange County and be at ground zero.

I’m sure he’ll de-trunk once he’s back in Canada, then swaddle them balls in thermals and cargo pants.

I thought Noah was just post-supreme wannabe cool rich oldguy horsehockey. And is bdks brand real? There are too many brands, Louie should just go ride for supreme and get the check for skating flat in front of old supreme locations.

Noah's cool. Outrageously expensive, as it's a luxury brand. But the clothes are nice. It's a respectable choice for Louie, but kind of a conflicting image for an FA rider. Like imagine a made in Canada, 100% cotton, 8.0 oz. practice cloth with engineered stripes, twill collar, embroidered logo below placket classic rugby sweater with FA shorts.

It's nice that he holds apparent ethical and environmental concerns. Choosing sponsors on a basis more considerate of the environment is always a positive step forward for our destructive and wasteful industry. Makes me wonder how many boards, trucks, wheels, and shoes he's going through in a week though.

Do your research before making crazy claims about slave labor. They’re fair labor associated alongside brands like Patagonia. They do their part for the environment and make sure all factories are legit.

Noah and BDK’s brand both look like the lustchild of the sales rack at Walmart and a fresh drop at Ross. Pull your pretentious heads out of your asses. It’s fine to like it, but it isn’t god’s gift to skate fashion at that price, nor does it reflect it in quality.

I agree that Louie should've went to Supreme. I ain't buying Noah Clothing any time soon, but there's a 10% chance I'd buy a Supreme item in the next year or so. It's slim, but he'd definitely be getting all of the hypemonster's money. There are still lines at Supreme, I don't even know where to go to buy Noah Clothing; and I don't want to find out.

A month later this post is funny as hell. That new supreme store was the worst possible idea for their brand at this point . it was a mistake to open such a large store cause it’s now destroyed the exclusivity allure of the old supreme store that always had a line and some cool guys who are supreme adjacent lurking out front. Now you can just walk in and you can see just how empty the store is constantly driving by. It was the absolute worst move for them now that supreme hype is all but dead. The lines at least gave it an illusion of popularity and exclusivity , now it’s just another LA brand flagship that sits empty all day.
Even that opening day line was maybe a quarter of what an average Thursday drop line was.

Yeah, I know it's a pipedream. That's also a terrible location for a record store these days. I guess I'm just being nostalgic.
Kinda funny that a "skate shop" can make it in that location today though. Let's see how long it lasts.

Slave labor was harsh, I'll admit. But Volcom still a major corp producing clothes in mass in countries with some of the poorest working conditions. Nike, Puma, Under Armour, and Hanes are also some brands with FLA Accreditation. A lot of "public commitment" statments and "blueprints". Plus I can't imagine the scope of the garment industry in these countries leaves for an optimal level of transparency between the workers, factories, and the FLA or its member companies with regards to conduct violations and stuff like that.

Slave labor was harsh, I'll admit. But Volcom still a major corp producing clothes in mass in countries with some of the poorest working conditions. Nike, Puma, Under Armour, and Hanes are also some brands with FLA Accreditation. A lot of "public commitment" statments and "blueprints". Plus I can't imagine the scope of the garment industry in these countries leaves for an optimal level of transparency between the workers, factories, and the FLA or its member companies with regards to conduct violations and stuff like that.
My man, I understand that but they literally have to work with correct factories that offer day care for their employees, liveable wages (yes, Less then US labor but still what is above average in these places). I know there’s some “mall” vibe to the brand but they also have really good shit too. Every brand has wack aspects about it.
Curious question, do you wear Dickies? Cause what is the factory environment like to be able to still make money off $25 pants?
Same with brands like Quasi, Polar, Magenta, I like all those brands a lot but I highly doubt they are doing their due diligence to see what the factories are like that are making their garments.
Apparel can be a dirty business, no doubt, but there’s a lot of companies that do care and strive to work towards ethical resources.

I enjoy Louie's skateboarding.
I will not purchase these pants. Too rich for me....
BUT
I like that Louie's getting paid and there are people that get $250 pants. :P

Volcom to noah is a huge downgrade imo
louie’s racking up some pretty high quality sponsors, crust bikes and now noah
Dude's one of the most respected, talented, popular pros out right now. If he wants to wear nice, well-made clothes over slave labor-made Volcom mall stuff then more power to him.
It's nice that he holds apparent ethical and environmental concerns. Choosing sponsors on a basis more considerate of the environment is always a positive step forward for our destructive and wasteful industry. Makes me wonder how many boards, trucks, wheels, and shoes he's going through in a week though.

Yeah, I’m not going down the ethical/sweatshop rabbit hole, and I’m no saint, I’ll buy stuff that’s super cheap and also better stuff when I can afford it, but I wouldn’t put Polar, Magenta or Quasi in the same bracket as Volcom. Like Magenta are made in Europe, Polar has most stuff from Portugal and Poland, idk what their workshops are like, but they’re obviously on another quality (and price) level to Volcom. And same with Noah, expensive but really nice and lasts longer, good fabrics.
Isn’t the FLA just an NGO that companies pay to get the badge? It’s not like an actual independent/Gov OHS thing, like if Adidas etc aren’t paying FLA there’s no FLA, so I guess it’s kinda a little compromised, but hey it’s something and Volcom thinks it adds value to their brand so they pay for the FLA stamp.
Anyway, whatever gets you stoked, and if switching up to Noah lights a fire for Louie, then I am all for it cos that means more Louie footage.

i don’t know anything about economics and opportunity, so maybe i can be educated. obviously slave labor is bad, but what about those shitty factories where people can actually make money. am i so privileged that me buying expensive clothes for ethical reasons is somehow actually unethical? should i be using my money to buy shitty clothes so someone in a poor country and get the tiniest sliver of money?
one argument i can think of is if you buy the expensive stuff, maybe eventually the big corpo companies will see it hurt there money and change, but i don’t see that as likely. how does everybody win?

I buy most of my clothes secondhand. Aside from my regretful "slave labor" statement, the point I was trying to make in my original post was that it was a step forward in the industry from an ethical standpoint for pros like Louie to go from a brand like Volcom to a brand like Noah. I never meant to imply Volcom was the worst with regards to production in their bracket; they have some positive attributes like occasionally using eco-friendly materials and higher standard prices. But they still exist in that bracket as a major corpo mass producing clothes overseas in the countries with the poorest working conditions. Noah appears to me to be a company focused on smaller batch production with greater attention to material use and where they produce their garments; and the price certainly reflects that. I'm no expert in environmental economics, but if we assume consumption patterns remain constant, consumers shifting to spending $150-$200 on Noah from the same amount at Volcom seems to be making a better choice ethically and environmentally (for those that can afford to spend that much and take the hit in spending power).

Its definitely a tough situation with no easy answers, and the vilification of spending as privilege is a wrench some wouldn't know how to contend with. But I believe its a wrench only to be considered when making prescriptive statements about what other people should do. If you personally feel inclined to use your money for purchases that you know are better then you shouldn't let some imaginary tribunal judge you on your privilege in doing so. Furthermore, on your point about support those affected by the garment industry, the conditions created in those countries are a product of the companies which move in for cheaper labor and the governments which allow it. Supporting those companies sees the highest margins of your dollar fed back into the company for costs other than labor. If you want to support those people directly through other initiatives they might be engaged in which empower them more, that is probably the more impactful thing.; and you'd need to find out what kind of things like that are being run out of Bangledesh, Vietnam, China, etc. that do that.

the slave labor argument is dumb asf, almost everything you own or eat is made from slave/cheap labor
computer? slave labor
phone? slave labor
clothing? slave labor
ive noticed specifically westerners try to act all high and mighty about it when their own countries are usually made from it and/or massive plundering of other peaceful societies. look at how these fucking muttons complained about the 2022 world cup. comparing a 1st world country to a 3rd world country doesnt make any sense
slavery/cheap labor is gonna exist no matter what & we're going to indulge in it one way or another - so shut the fuck up about it selective ass hypocrites

I’m not reading this whole thread, so maybe this was already mentioned.
So Brendon Babenzien the founder of Noah was a creative director at supreme he joined as a product designer in 96. His receipts for being involved in skateboarding/ surfing are legit.
What’s really interesting is knowing Noah panicked after doing “Jolie Roger” as they didn’t want to be seen as a “skate clothing brand” but rather a brand skaters want to wear. So this move with Louie seems an about turn.
Noah is a massively respected brand with in that tier of menswear fashion, not to mention their want to be ethical as well as support charities and positive movements is pretty earnest and doesn’t seem conceited.
Honestly I reckon there will be a good salary for LL but realistically it’s more about getting to wear clothing he actually likes.
