Mark Suciu enjoys blatant displays of wealth inequality and Adidas loves it

[Acky Jacky]

Did anyone mention that the ad itself seems to have a different version of the man than the second photo. The hood obscures his face more. Maybe this is for legal reasons?

Really good eye

Give them royalties for image rights. End of debate.

Adidas should make it up by giving them their own product line as well as the royalties to Mark’s shoe for the rest of their lives, and start by offering a formal apology to the seat-deprived community and all people who’ve ever had to sit on stairs anywhere.

you know it'd be a hit so what's to even talk about here

Adidas know the issue and did it to not mess in their pockets.

trick on a rail and eating a full course meal infront of a camp of refugees are two vastly different scenarios, nice leap of logic, stupid

Most pros and ams are barely even paid, if at all, to be in advertising photos.

anyone have a screengrab? ad is gone

[ChronicBluntSlider]

Am I trippin or was Kalis mad at him that he shot an ad of a back nose blunt on a Jersey barrier and when asked about it Mark said something to the effect he got the idea because a back nose blunt was an easy, yet difficult looking trick to shoot?

I only mention this bc it struck me that the people on the steps weren’t incidental to the shot, but the reason for the shot.

[LebowskisRug]

Mark: “Hey we are going to skate this and try to shoot an ad is that OK?”

People: “Ya that’s fine we aren’t moving tho we were here first.”

Mark: “Ok you’re going to be in the photo”

People: “Whatever”

It doesn’t have to be a whole lot more complicated than that.

Another win for cancel culture

[shouldn't]

it wouldn’t be an ad if the people weren’t in it. it’s a back noseblunt on an 8 stair rail. obviously they were either already there and he asked them to stay or he told them to sit there.

Do any of you know if they were compensated?

I’d like to think that shortly afterwards Mark turned to one of the men sitting down and said “Here, have a dollar. In fact, naw brother man, here have two. Two dollars means a snack for me, but it means a big deal to you.”

He might have hit the ATM for them

I'm sure it felt really good to not only win SOTY but flex your income and fame on the less fortunate.

What's the next ad Adidas, Mark eating a 5 course meal at a refugee camp?

The fuck? Making a whole lot of assumptions. Heavy kook vibes. “Flex your income” “5 course meal at a refuge camp” yooo you’re tripping

[sk84fun]

How tf is this a thing? So there’s two “allegedly” homeless people in the background of the photo. There’s tons of pedestrians in skate photos and videos all the time. That was  actually a really great photo.

There’s homeless people everywhere.. would you rather have them be invisible?….maybe they just wanted to watch. Did that photo really hurt your feelings that bad?

Skating needs to die again and just start from scratch. Softest generation.

softest generation? OP could be 50 for all we know. even though i agree with your previous point, eat a dick lil bitch

[DCLOVE]

Hahaha , I don’t have ig anymore but noticed the original link is broken. Y’all really made this non issue into a big enough deal to get him to take it down. Amazing.

[Swithflip]

they deleted it because it wasn't an accidental click.

Next ad will be Mark gifting his personal copy of Infinite Jest to the halfway house whose bump to bar he's switch ollieing.

With the recovering addicts lined up on the porch.

Based off your previous posts, I’m not sure you realize how apropos IJ would be in that situation

Based on your previous posts I'm not sure you didn't get your lit info from sparknotes to flex it on a skate forum and be the condescending lit fish in a semi illiterate pond. Instead of being a dick about it we could have had some fun.

My guess is his pro model will be called the Postmodern and it'll have a White Noise pattern.

Did someone screenshot it? They took it down. I want to see what the fuss is about.

[BlueCadet3]

This is a joke thread, right?

[RichardBarkley]

Can't believe you morons got it taken down. This place is a cesspit.

[Swithflip]

It is just embarrassing to see Suciu hitting the rail and the homeless person having mental tics with her head.

Yall stop sucking Suciu dick...thats why he deleted this shit, whole clip and shots was embarrassing.

[sizzle_chest]

That's a hard pass on the royalty pay idea

Edit: ^ from Adidas

This is the photo. I can't find it, but the Instagram post had a different angle.

[frontfootimpossible]

should we start a campaign to cancel tony hawk for having "ollie the magic bum" in a video game too?

I doubt any of the karens on slap are making any effort to solve the blight of homelessness. As street skaters you interact with people from all walks of life, is it really exploitation to not kick them off the stairs so you can get your skate photo? what happened to co-exisitence?

[backside_frontside]

Man based off the takes here you’d think Mark was a Nazi. If this was Freddy y’all would be eating it up. Score 1 for the slap SJWs I guess.
