Title: Aeon is dead
Post by: boyan on August 12, 2006, 03:10:49 AM: What are your guesses for the aeon team, where will they find a new spot?
Title: Re: Aeon is dead
Post by: Matze on August 12, 2006, 03:15:54 AM: it was just a matter of time ... the shoes didn't look good. carolino gets a good sponsor for sure, maybe vans or even dc (through europe?)
Title: Re: Aeon is dead
Post by: Anton on August 12, 2006, 03:31:52 AM: yeah, carolino on vans would be good, william phan on something close to Santa Cruz maybe?

Post by: kaufmaner on August 12, 2006, 03:33:52 AM: i thought that the shoe looked pretty nice
never saw one in real life, was it only marketed in europe?
Title: Re: Aeon is dead
Post by: L.S on August 12, 2006, 03:55:58 AM: some of the models were quite nice, especially ardea. i believe the company was marketed mostly in central europe, but i think i've seen an aeon ad of carolino in tws or something.

Title: Re: Aeon is dead
Post by: leeroy on August 12, 2006, 01:30:49 PM: those shoes were pretty fucked up. ardea was the ONLY one you could skate in. they for example had shoe that with a 120€ (150dollars) price tag on them and the shoe exploded after 15minutes of skating. quality footwear...? no.

and the owners were pretty weird, couldn't hold it together at all. those guys were trying to push their shit out of france without knowing how to speak english. imagine the communication between them and the buyers.

Post by: kev on August 12, 2006, 03:58:55 PM: i'd never heard of aeon before this thread, the shoes look like the Osiris 1998 fall line-up
Title: Re: Aeon is dead
Post by: 1992 on August 12, 2006, 04:00:09 PM: which sucked.
Title: Re: Aeon is dead
Post by: theloniousmonk on August 12, 2006, 05:13:25 PM: can we get some pics up of those shoes, not the osiris please, I still got a pair of smoliks with the velcro on the back that you were supposed to attach the plastic pants to, but not the pants.

From what I understand, Aeon is from the same stable as Square and Lordz wheels and has some tie-in with Puzzle - the dudes there probably did all the design and motion graphics or something...

Post by: Caps Lock on August 13, 2006, 06:07:50 AM: I dont think Aeon sells much in Europe in general. When I was in lyon, kids would be wearing either sole tech, podium, or nike shoes. Lakai gets mad love in Lyon.
