Hopefully if he is, he will be on the team and not that bullshit they got going with Jimmy and Yonnie.

Got to watch this guy have a few goes at a pretty rough/awkward spot in Oakland just fucking around a while ago.  So much power it almost makes you nervous for him.  I bet he was hauling ass to ollie that high.  In that 43 mag somebody ollies over the bar to backside wallride down the metal door-pretty fucked.  It would really be a step in the right direction for Lakai/Emerica to give him a proper shoe sponsor.

He wouldn't ride for New Balance because its a corporation, i'd say the only companies he's ride for at this point would be Lakai, Dekline, or a Soletech company

I would ride what ever cupsole shoe Jake decides to ride. I'd be psyched on Emerica or Lakai. Hook the man up proper. It would definitely diversify Lakai. Jake and Nick Jensen skating together would be a dream. Tall man club.

While he could prolly fit on both lakai or emerica I'd rather see him on lakai just because he'd bring some new energy to the brand, whereas emerica already has their east coast guys in westgate & suski

If Figgy and Westgate weren't teammates, could you see them in a van together? Teams need diversity, everyone doesn't have to skate the same, those dudes would probably get along great.

No he's just incorporating yoga into his Ollies...you try to touch your knees to your chin and see how much your pants  rise.

Jake on Lakai would be sick, I actually think itd be great for Lakai. I liked the Emerica idea but don't see it happening. I also could see new balance working too.

I hope he gets on team like Lakai or Emerica over New Balance. I can afford one of those brands' shoes. New Balances are ridiculous. When a rep showed me a catalog recently, the cheapest shoe was around $85.

According to his Thrasher interview, dude backed out of Burton to ride for a smaller company or no one, I think he's one of the few people who puts his money where his mouth is (figuratively speaking). Also, learn to use a fucking semicolon.

All of the best Lakais are cuspoles, and Jake Johnson only skates cupsoles. It could happen.

We sold all black ones pretty well to the older fellows that were stumped by every shoe looking like Vans(their words).
Emerica has had a myriad of simple cupsole designs that had pockets of success but never sold well.
They stop making them because of that reason. If A shoe retails well, they keep going.
It's simple really. Nostalgia is a crazy thing, it erases how shitty some things really were.
I'm not saying they weren't good, they just weren't as good as most people remember.

Sole Tech has their head up their ass for not having an Accel type shoe in the lineup. Simple cupsole low top with a stitched toe cap. Not all that hard now, is it?
[close]

Just throwing this out there, for all the fans the Accel had, I sold very few at the shop I worked at for four years.
[close]

yeah the Accells were huge back in the puffy shoes era but I swear NOBODY was wearing those shits post-2004
I think they actually changed the way they made the Accel around 2004 too though. The original version had a pointier toe and the newer versions were more rounded.

that's what i have heard but i have had over 50 pairs of accels(seriously) over the period of almost 13 years and to me they have always had the same shape. puffy and round and with unparalleled board feel for a cupsole. the new reynolds shoe is kewl but feels much thicker than the accel. i still have my last pair of thrashed accels in my bedroom to stare at when im feeling blue......needless to say, my wife hates it ::)

We sold all black ones pretty well to the older fellows that were stumped by every shoe looking like Vans(their words).
Emerica has had a myriad of simple cupsole designs that had pockets of success but never sold well.
They stop making them because of that reason. If A shoe retails well, they keep going.
It's simple really. Nostalgia is a crazy thing, it erases how shitty some things really were.
I'm not saying they weren't good, they just weren't as good as most people remember.

you sir, are an ignoramus.

Post by: b.v. on May 27, 2013, 10:22:36 PM
I guess I should elaborate. I skated around 13 pairs or accells. A few black suede,brown suede and some of the pj ladd colorways.
I too thought they were awesome, and for the time they were, I came across an old pair a few years ago, tried to skate them. They felt really stiff and the sole was icy, no cushioning in the heel either. It crushed me that my favorite shoe was not what I remembered.
As I said, it's an opinion. People are making better shoes these days. Lighter, more cushioning and flexible.
To each there own though.

Yeah, but what the fuck do you know?


In all seriousness, every shoe company should want Jake, no matter what their image is. He's one of the best dudes out, and if Slap and the people I talk to in real life is accurate in any way, he has a huge loyal fanbase.

Likely scenario:
Needs shoes, takes product to local shop to trade for shoes.
