Throwing this kind of shade around in your own industry seems like a bad move. kid thinks hes invincible.

Apparently Lotties hasn’t done any/enough giveaways at skateparks to satisfy Ol Ewok Facegnarred

I think Lotties posted something earlier about some kids getting jumped for their boards and telling kids not to go to a certain park in the area. Looks like it’s deleted now. Maybe Nak took offense?
Dude is such a dumbass. He’ll kook himself out of a job before too long.

He already got kicked off supreme. I imagine Adidas is next.
I’ve said it before but I’ve watched him at stoner not land a single trick even on flat in two hours. There’s bad days. But a pro should be able to land a flat ground kickflip and 360 flip pretty much every try in this day an age. Nak is the most undeserving pro since Castillo haha.

I saw it on here. Maybe he left but I figured he got kicked off for not doing anything for 2-3 years to be a rapper or whatever. It’s only since like mid pandemic he’s a skate fire lit on under his ass again. I mean that one clip in blessed where he pop shuvs that stair set only for KB to immediately big spin it kinda said it all in terms of where he was at in skating at that point . I could see them just letting him go cause he wasn’t producing and they had their eyes on guys like touzery, kader and rowan who were all way more popular to become the face of the skate team as the cherry dudes have all kinda floundered in their careers aside from KB and tyshawn. Sage too I guess but he’s way more enigmatic these days so I get why him skating less is allowable.
Don’t know if anyone just saw his live but he tried to explain it but failed to do so Bc he was mad drunk. Basically just said “they don’t support the community they moved into” and “you feel me” after every sentence
This guy is such an asshole.
I wouldn't be surprised if he saw the writing on the wall with Supreme and that's why he started that autistics LSD trip of a company.
I usually don't hold negative feelings toward pros I don't like, but Nakel is a special bread of asshole. Talk about grown ass man child vibes

Two black dudes are upset at the same time, so surely something racist must have occurred. That’s really your line of thought? I’ll let you sort out the irony in making that statement, but jesus.

Nak should of just explained whats going on instead of being as vague as possible. The FUCK LOTTIES post on his story followed up by the post about being positive really doesn't help explain anything. I'm also curious about whats up with Lee Spielman, he just seems like another LA guy who was around odd future 10 years ago. His store with the outdoor bowl seems cool, I didn't realize it was so close to lotties but as long as people have access to the bowl it seems like a good thing. Also lotties being upset about hypebeasts hanging around would be weird considering they seem to be cool with Palace and even did a collaboration with them recently.
how much of nickels paycheck goes to all the good homies for no reason other than they expect it.
lottie is a cool dude who has been killing it since nak was still a little foodcourt kid playing COD all day listening to linkin park. he got super lucky making it into the supreme crew to begin with (they fuck with Kareem OD, and hes Naks uncle or whatever)...he brought nak around and they started hooking up out of respect. then eventually he did got pretty good. but has since regressed a lot
not long until hes kicked off FA but spins it on IG. acting as if he quit to start Steamy Dream Is a Turd boards with some kids from LA that rap and sip fake lean way more than they skate.

Facts, Supreme and FA both profit of the kids they feature in their videos without doing anything to really give back as far as I have seen. Like I stated before, it is well documented the positive effects lotties has had on the surrounding skate community. Nobody can argue that.
Nak could absolutely channel some of this energy toward those closer to him, his time would probably be better spent trying to get Dill and Ave to do something real for the community through FA.

Ok, aside from the fact that you didn't just show up outta nowhere for this thread, why do I have any more reason to believe that statement than the other dude's? How is what you're saying anything more than guesswork, as well? Like genuinely curious and would love for you to explain, maybe I missed something in the thread. I definitely didn't watch Nakel's rants, so maybe I missed something there, too.
However, there is no irony to be found in understanding that a skater who is not afraid to speak out against racism in skateboarding might be going live on Instagram to trash a skateshop if the owner has said or done something that was or could be interpreted as racist.
Also important to remember that I'm not here to say this is what happened (again the key word here is if), and I'm also not saying Mike did or said anything racist. I have no idea what happened. Please keep that in mind before replying with big emotions.
Edit: watched the live rant and if that's your evidence for thinking he's upset about not getting his brand stocked, then you're the one who needs to think about the irony of your words. If you think a black man would get upset enough to take time to talk about the struggle of the black community and to raise concerns about how black people were being actively put down in this situation, over not carrying some t shirts he made... then you should look inward, friend. Because what you're saying is "black man cries racism because his t-shirts aren't cool enough to be stocked at Lotties."

I also noticed that the shops are literally 2 blocks away on the same street. If I was a core shop and some garbage hypebeast-adjacent retail spot, vaguely trying to connect to skating moved in, i would be bummed too. Who was on that street first?[close][close]

As if a skate shop is going to cause rents to hike up and drive out the locals
the stupid thing is I don’t even think babylon and Lotties have issues lol they been existing next to each other for awhile. Everytime I’ve skated the babylon bowl it seems like there’s Lotties kids there too. It’s always a mix. Pedro Delfino is skating the babylon bowl in that homies video thrasher dropped. This shit all started cause Lotties posted something about the local skatepark Rancho and the DIY in the area that could be seen as weird & not knowing what part of town hes in. A lot of kids in that area grew up skating at rancho so they took mad offense to it and flipped out.
Anyone who’s ever stepped FOOT in Lottie’s or even had a passing glance at the shop’s Instagram account can attest to the fact that the shop caters first and foremost to all the neighborhood kids in the surrounding area.
"And yeah. Literally none of those kids are white ...."
Sounds pretty racist to me. White people are also a race of humans.

A lot of kids in that area grew up skating at rancho so they took mad offense to it and flipped out.Expand QuoteSo, it seems like Mike told the kids to stay away from Babylon and keep shopping at Lotties, probably because Babylon does not fit the mold of a core skate shop and seems like (to me, at least, after glancing at the website) it has its sights set on profits rather than community. The Babylon affiliates obviously took this as disrespect to what they're trying to do and view Mike as a gentrifier since he is a white man (with presumably a lot more money than other shop owners in the area?) who owns a skateshop that serves a minority community. Nak specifically feels like Mike is trying to suppress a (partially) black owned business by telling kids to avoid Babylon.
Babylon is co-owned and was founded by Spielman, a white man. So, not really sure how Mike is racist in this situation but maybe the multiple Babylon affiliate accounts here can shed more light. Also, still not sure how the gentrification part is possible since a small skateshop doesn't really seem to have the power to displace other shops by taking over the market, especially not Babylon with their popularity with people in and outside of skateboarding. Also, Babylon isn't a skate shop I don't think... seems like they only sell clothes? Mike was probably just trying to steer the kids from his shop away from something he thinks is lame and skate adjacent. Doesn't seem racist to me, just very CORE. Imo, no reason why these two couldn't exist in peace. Hopefully the beef can be squashed so the kids who visit Lotties can continue to support their shop AND learn to rip transition in that Babylon bowl without having to endure grown ups bickering at each other about "who was here first" or "who does more giveaways."
Edit: for shit i fucked up[close]

Supposedly (heard this 3rd hand) this is about one of Nak's friend going into the store, and buying a board and was expecting it to get gripped for him, and they told him they wouldn't do it. Also told another friend to leave the store when he walked in smoking a blunt (which is totally fair enough)
Gonna go against the grain here and say It's a shame Nak goes about it the way he does, I'm all for wearing your heart on your sleeve, but he just gets way too heated, because from what I have seen, he really does put on for the community, gives out boards, shoes, gear, etc. He did a lot for Caleb Barnett too when he wasn't anybody.
This reminds me when Stevie Williams opened a shop across from Stratosphere in 2009 & it ended in a bloody club parking lot battle from the whole town

if youre old enough to drive a care youre old enough to grip your own skateboard.
whole generation of weirdos that seem to push shit as far as they can for no reason other than starting some drama. or just seeing if somethings gonna pop off for no reason. its OD corny. like the dude walking in the shop smoking a blunt. smoke weed all day but have some respect for businesses in general let alone the shop. that kids a cornball and anyone who does that shit is a clown.
this shit really does just come down to lottie declining stocking the terrible 'steam no longer a turd' teeshirts tho... who the fuck wants that silly horsehockey in their shop besides zumies... lol that stuffs horrendous.

Hi Nakel
Why do you try and hit women?[close]
No reply for that last one huh? Sad existence[close]
I'm rained off work today. Pretty bored.
I never weigh in on the TK, Zach Allen... Even Biebel threads on here because honestly I feel like it's just bullying. They all are good people deep down. Even Biebel despite what people say on here..
I have to say I take exception to Nakel. Dude seems like the biggest scumbag in skateboarding. Assaulting and antagonizing people constantly. I find him to be a negative force in skateboarding. I hate the thought of kids seeing him on Instagram and replicating his desperate behavior.
So when I see him trying to put a skate shop out of business. I'm weighing in. Sorry pal.[close]

I don’t think your understanding of English is as great as you think it is, no offense. “Achieve living in the most boring time” sounds like something AltaVista translated after a few beers and a few viruses.

Today I learned.
In fs180's defense, it's gotta be hard to write properly with Nak's ewok dick in your mouth.
thisExpand QuoteI dont take the different time explanation as an answer.
Thats just old folks downplaying the hard work and hours upon hours kids these days put in to get uper efficient at what they are doing. Old people will say that to still be industry relevant.
To stand out you still need hard tricks and a good style and i think nak has both of them so hating on him doesnt make sense imo.
If you think just because jeffwonsongs bag of tricks exists these day there shouldnt be a place for nakel you are stupid.
"but he doesnt have switch wallrides down like jake johnson" fuck you and your alternative trick book[close]
also if it’s Nak vs Lotties I’m sure there’s probably a specific good reason. Nak worked hard to get where he’s at and helped a lot of kids who look like him and come from the same background realize they can do it too. That is more important than some cool dude skate shop that vibes kids out. Ask a local at any park in LA and they’ll tell you the truth. Nak is a good inspiration for young black kids. If you can’t realize that you’re an idiot. Lotties bought some product crammed it into a building and thinks he’s king for letting some children hang out. The inspiration between these two people in skateboarding isn’t even comparable.
it’s open to whoever the fuck that’s why I was saying the idea of those 2 shops beefing doesn’t even make any sense. They don’t sell the same shit and babylon let’s anyone skate.

But sure fs 180, keep pretending he’s a taste maker who’s bigger than the game if it validates your argument.
I think Lotties posted something earlier about some kids getting jumped for their boards and telling kids not to go to a certain park in the area. Looks like it’s deleted now. Maybe Nak took offense?
Dude is such a dumbass. He’ll kook himself out of a job before too long.

I really hope this doesn’t have any direct correlation with Nak, but I heard Lotties is actually gonna be closing as a result of the above-mentioned issue of people getting jumped, etc. for wearing their product at local parks. For those of you Pals that are about it, I’d suggest showing some love to the shop while you still can and buying a tee or deck or something either online or in shop. I know I’m going to try to buy something this week to support the shop.
just checked in the shop’s tagged section and saw this as well:
https://www.instagram.com/p/CPMYruXl5ij/?utm_medium=copy_link
If Lotties really closed cause of a post Nak made on Instagram that’s a new level of scared
I think Nakel skates well. If he wants to diss Lottie's he can do that too. Not sure what this whole forum is truly about if I'm being honest.its just a way so that @fs180 can boost his post count, but the only way he can do it is by being aggro and drawn out
no ones saying to boycott anything. If you like Lotties cool like Lotties. If you like Nak cool like Nak. Seems like some of you need others to tell you what to do and can’t form you’re own damn opinions. Not everyone has to get along. That’s not the way life works bruh.Expand QuoteI think there is a reality to this situation some of you aren’t recognizing.
It’s highly unlikely Lotties is closing on a whim solely over Nak’s call out, obviously there are other reasons this could possibly be happening.
But, when someone with a lot of influence is making unfounded claims about a business and essentially implying you boycott it, that’s when shit is no longer petty drama and begins having real world consequences.
It’s for sure Nak’s right to voice his opinion on a shop he doesn’t like, but when you downright tell all your fans “fuck lotties” you’re now playing with peoples money and livelihood without any concrete reason, and in my opinion, that’s some despicable shit.
If what some of you are saying is true in regards to Lotties being racist or ultimately a negative influence on the community, then sure, have a discussion, bring those to light and try to give people a legitimate reason to boycott something that is harmful to the community.
Instead, some of you are just acting like cops and trying to strongarm a shop to lose business over an Instagram story and some anecdotal accounts on a message board.[close]
There’s gotta be something else going on for Lotties to be closing they probably lost their lease or something.
I just personally think it’s super irresponsible and in poor taste to utilize influence as a way to damage someone’s livlihood without good reason, even if it wasn’t intentional. An impressionable kid is gonna hear “Fuck _____” from their favorite skater and follow suit in the notion as a result.
you think he’s focusing random kids that he doesn’t know boards? Bruh you’re out of touch. It’s an obvious joke between him and his homies. You’re reaching.Expand QuoteExpand Quote
Pretty sure the focusing boards thing is an obvious joke between dude and his homies bruh seems like the joke went over your head bruh[close]
ok i guess you're right. i'd probably be laughing my ass off if i was at a skatepark minding my own business when some c list skater/actor/rapper came over to me out of the blue, focused my board that I had broken in and gotten used to, and handed me some trash square ass FA log with no grip and no tools to change it out.

I'm relatively new to the LA area. When I went into Kingswell (before I lived here), I was welcomed immediately by DJ, and have had great experiences every time. The one time I went in to Lottie's to check it out and buy some stuff to support the shop, Mike Lottie came out from the back, checked me out, decided I wasn't cool enough, and went back into the back to continue modifying a Baker logo deck with a sharpie.

Why does it matter if he did? It’s a dick move regardless. Skaters are the biggest piles and social media is just a sounding board for all that nonsense.

The LA skateboard scene in general can be pretty shitty, especially when you get up in the “celebrity” skaters realm.
Los Angeles, professional skateboarding and Hollywood all have a problem with self inflating egotism and entitlement by themselves, and when you combine them it’s a perfect shit hurricane of terrible behavior.

jk lol yeah idk ive been cool guyed before obviously. this same trip to LA i tried to dap up kevin bradley at venice park and he stared me down before skating away from me. i was a little annoyed at this so when i saw him post on instagram the night afterwards i commented calling him out and asking why he didnt dap me up, but i was doing so in a joking way.
next thing you know hes posting story after story about how mad he is at me and how he isn't gonna dap anyone up that he doesn't know and how he doesn't owe me shit. i got such a good kick out of it. i can post screenshots if you guys wanna see[close]
What does Dap up mean
I'm not saying it doesn't happen (cuz it does), but a lot of people I've met who complain about being "cool guy'd" at a shop are usually uncomfortable people who otherwise never participate in their local scene. Pleasant interaction goes both ways and sometimes it's on you if that interaction is awkward. Can't speak for LA/Lotties, around here it's almost always the case where the person complaining is frankly kinda just unpleasant.

It's not the business's job to make the customer feel comfortable when they walk into a shop, but it's a good pratice to do so to every person that walks through the door. And "participate in their local scene" in order to feel comfortable shopping at a store sounds like come cool guy shit.
Participate in the local scene = hangout skate and party with teenagers
I’m not cool or patient enough for that
hahahaha seems incredibly accurateExpand QuoteWhat does being "cool guy'd" even mean? I honestly don't get it
I don't like interaction with employees and being approached by someone saying "hello, how can I help you? Looking for something special?"

I just get my product, ask about it if I need something, pay and leave. Thanks to covid i order my stuff online and/ or pick it up at the shop.

basically what happens is a 39 year old white web designer guy goes into a skate shop at 2pm on a Tuesday wearing a full outlet mall kit and a 4 Star short sleeve plaid button up from 2004. Nobody else been there all day and the skate shop employee is like "oh shit" and rush to hide his grinder behind some boxes in back. and then the guy asks "hello fellow skater, did you see the X games this weekend, Zion won but I like Oski better, Zion just did a 540 and some big airs but Oski did a disaster, I just like what he's doing more, Zion is too mainstream. I love Polar though do you have the polar "Big Boy" pants?" and the skate shop employee makes a bewildered face like he is in a weird surrealist comedy sketch and replies "uhhhh, I can... check" and then the stay at home dad guy is like "never mind but can I just get a shop sticker for my laptop" and then rushes home and posts a scathing "I got cool guy'd >:(" review to middle-age-shred . com .

This sounds like Slap’s version of a Double Dare physical challenge, the last level of this challenge should be done at Supreme.
If anyone reading this has issues getting cool guy’d at a skate shop (or any retail location), I’m going to fill you in on a little move I do to let the workers know I’m the alpha. Walk in and make direct eye contact with whoever you deem as the current alpha. Do not break eye contact and speak as deep as you can. Do not make small talk. Keep it professional. Let them know what you are looking for and when they start to move toward said product, unzip your pants, and mark your territory. I prefer to squat and pinch off a loaf, but you can urinate as well. You must keep eye contact the entire time. Once you have finished and pulled your pants up, you are now the cool alpha male and everyone will respect you.Should I start barking if they ask me stop? Assert my dominance even more
I got cool guyed at Lottie's. I was in there, hiding behind this plant in the corner, and then when owner walked out I jumped out and yelled 'Spaghett!' and owner walked back out back and drew on primitive board with sharpie. I removed my tail and left feeling hella cool guyed.
imagine that shop owners have to be nice to you so they earn money.
they dont give a fuck about you most of the time.
I would rather spend a whole day at a retirement home playing chess with old Peter than spending longer than 30 min in skate shop with a 18 employee eye fucking me to find out if I can skate and am chill in person.
fuck those people I dont need them. might be cool guys but everyone could be.
listen to some podcasts outside of skating talk to your neighbors they might be far more interesting than little stinky armpits and longhaired mike on his skate shop counter.
and remember: if a arrogant ignorant person cool guys you in a skate shop: its always your fault. (doesn't it feel better knowing that? just dont be yourself)

I can see why you’d think that but I have nothing against the kids or even cool guy shops. I think of it more as giving them (the teens and young rippers) their space. I’ve gone to local premiers and events and it’s great, skate with the same people from the same parks and shops, even taken younger family members to skate shops when they want to get into it or just buy some shoes. But at 32 I also step away when it’s not my game. I think a lot of guys getting cool guyd are not really getting cool guyd. It’s just normal when teens at work don’t act super cool with people they don’t know.

I'm surprised he was picking up his box from FTC and not DLX...Friend was on dlx/crail and in town from WA. Don’t remember box specifics but, given our age on that trip, had to be one of the two.
Expand QuoteI’ve only ever been cool guy’d in the Bay area.
First time was by some hype beast clowns working at FTC when I was 18. A friend I was with happened to be getting dlx flow at the time and had a box to pick up. When they realized that, they changed, acting all nice and welcoming. We just laughed.
Second time at 510. I went to Berkeley so would always hit that shop for my skate needs throughout college. Always too cool for light conversation until I met a few skating the Berkeley park. And even then only after I showed up with <random pro friend>.
My take is it’s all ego-based.
Most people at skate shops are cool, but cool guying is a definitely a thing that occurs. It’s lame, but working at a skate shop beyond a certain age probably yields a certain level of insecurity. So maybe it’s just projection. Hard to care about what a grown man working at a skate shop thinks about you.
Any younger people cool guying are probably just caught up in the passion and novelty - I say let them enjoy it.[close]

reread the imaginary story about picking up a DLX box at FTC?
Nak has made a weak career from doing handsprings when he bails a trick. A Pro talking shit on a core shop is lame, filming it and putting it on Instagram is the lamest.TRying to get the thread back
The key to not getting cool guy'd by a shop staff is:
(a) being educated/knowledgeable on the skate products you require, and
(b) having the confidence to realize how unimportant their opinions are and how insignificant an impact they have on your life and you as a person.
I imagine if you are young and trying to assimilate into a shop's scene, the latter factor can be difficult. But even then, better to go the Donnie Brasco approach and just show up at the local spots on a regular basis, be affable but mysterious, say as little as possible and wait for someone in their circle to make contact.
You do yourself no favors by showing up in 510 as a customer croney and trying to generate conversational friendships with ppl who are paid to be there.

Maybe it was an off day? I am from the Bay and DLX, FTC and especially 510 have all been really cool to even a non skating ass as myself. The only place I have been so called cool guyed was a HUF and you can argue that isn’t even a skate shop. But HUF was around before the Hypebeast term was even invented so I guess they get a pass for being that way.

Some of you may want to steer clear of bike shops and music shops if you're worried about being a victim of coolguyicide. As long as you have an idea of what you want - and don't pretend to know more than you do, you should be ok. Whenever I go to any of these places, I know what I don't know and am not afraid to ask. Employees of any kind of hobby shop appreciate that more than some dipshit trying talk shop in a "look how much I know" way. Comes off as corny. Be yourself and be a normal human being. If you are those things + honest it doesn't really matter what skill level you are or how cool you look.Popular sub-cultures that derive from people's passions tend to be like this. Especially people who have managed to tie-in their self-worth with a said hobby. Audio equipment and Vinyl of things I'm interested can absolutely be like this, music is subjective so I'm not gonna debate my passion of 90s hip-hop on Vinyl vs collecting 70's rock, and I know if I ever entered high-end audio to find a dealer/distributor I'd trust over trying to be the smartest guy in the room.

Anybody ever get caught in a cool guy feedback loop?
I would be honored if John Igei cool guy’d me.
love that slap can produce 15 page threads that devolve into grown ass adults complaining that a teenager was rude to them once lmaoThe lack of reading comprehension/game of telephone going on here is astounding. Nobody complained about a teenager being rude to them. I noted that a grown-ass man, came out, looked me over, and went back into the back. I wasn't trying to strike up a conversation or get on the shop team. I know what I want when I go into a skate shop. I think I was even buying a Lotties beanie along with some other stuff that day. Buying shop gear is probably the best way to support a shop, since those margins are highest. I'm not butt-hurt, I'm old enough not to give a shit. I was just adding to the conversation. I also don't feel the need to spend any more of my money there, that's the way capitalism works. Geezer out.
As demographics shift in skateboarding I look forward to the day I walk into a shop and get cool girl'd.

people are actually judging Nak on the content of his character but cool bro im happy for you.
Imagine somebody 10 years ago saying "Jason Dill is my favorite skateboarder and i support his company" yeah bro the fucking DVS guy from skate more.
What were seeing here is Nak and company cant succeed without biting Dylans Image make no mistake about it, people only cared about supreme/fa bc of Dylan.

yeah im sure, its a skateshop shirt. thats how that works. he sell tees he draws on with sharpies too i beleive, all for around $20... i live in nyc and had a tee sent to me 25 shipped...the difference is that nak is selling gilden tees but acting like its something besides a weird rip n dip ripoff company and charging more than supreme does for tees. did TJ kick him off Hardies 2 lololas an owner of one Lotties shirt I can confirm that Lotties tees are printed on “a turd tee brand gildan”Expand Quotewait lotties is really done? was this something he announced ahead of time on ig or something or did it come out of nowhere? weird considering i thought they did well (enough to stay open) and had their niche market with a dope little team, despite dumbass nak wanting to see more flyers for skate contests made or whatever tf he was crying about.
not on ig so haven't been following along. but basically from afar it seemed everyone was down with lotties and they did their thing but now that its over nak wants to run his mouth. this most likely also has to do with them turning down his steam no longer a turd tee brand. but no shop needs another bullshit tshirt brand nobody wants beside the kids that get them free taking up shelf space regardless, let alone a shop he knew hed be closing up.
like i said 12 months from now hell be deluxe flow and working in the warehouse.... unless he wakes up one day, smokes some K2 and decides it up with Jim/ DLX for not printing enough flyers so he burns that bridge too

you have nothing to fear or loose. your family is white in America you have money not insane amount but money. you decide to just stay in the middle with all options you have. you will not jump down 20 stairs because it would suck to not be able to work. you keep your mouth shut so nothing is going to happen to you. you are right. from your perspective thats how its the only smart way of living. a revolution is so funny to you because actually believing in change wouldn't matter to you. you are not changing shit.nakelI has mental health problems no doubt. a lot of people have but they dont have some kids talking shit about a person acting loud and wild on the internet.

That's what I thought too until they arrived at the shop. The outsole is molded to look like a vulc but there's no wrap. It's one of those cupsole/vulc hybrid shoes, which is actually a cupsole with thin sidewalls similar to a vulc wrap. Vulcanized construction is a very specific process involving bonding the sole to the upper with the foxing, which these do not have. They are still heat bonded, but not with a vulcanization process.
Here's a review that shows/explains it well. But if it was 2017, then yes, it was the vulc version.

They haven't changed - they were VLK in 2017 as well.
It literally says in the description they are vulcanized. The process of creating the vulcanized sole might be different from traditional vulcs, but it's a vulcanized shoe nonetheless.

It would be cool to hear from someone directly involved in the manufacturing what they classify it as... it seems to be one piece, which would mean it's not a vulc. The foxing tape bonding process is literally what vulcanization is.

As I understand it; with a cupsole your foot is on top of the midsole. Whereas with a vulc your foot is submerged within the midsole.
The foxing tape is a by product of attaching the sole and doesn't define a vulc. Cupsole uppers are stitched into the midsole.
That being said I haven't noticed any stitching in recent cupsoles (emerica g6's for example). Maybe emericatm can offer some insight?

Thanks for laying it out clear. I think I understand where the confusion is coming from - but I do concede that Lakai is calling that shoe a vulc, so I can't claim it as a cupsole.
A cupsole shoe is a one piece sole that literally cups the upper of the shoe, and is either stitched or glued in. I believe there can be heat processes used in the bonding as well but I can't site any specifics. But the reason it's called a cupsole is because it forms a cup since the sidewall and bottom are one molded piece.
A Vulcanized shoe is a shoe that has a sole (and some sort of midsole, even if it's just material), bonded to the upper using a strip of rubber and heat. The heat is required and it's what defines vulcanization. It's an old process and it's how tires are made. This link has a guy from Sole Tech perfectly explaining what vulcanization is in terms of shoes...

Product knowledge meetings in skateshops in the late 90's was where I first learned about the difference. The parts of your quote I highlighted are where you got it mixed up. No big. I was wrong about that Lakai shoe - I guess they heat it on but without a separate wrap? Seems like that would be a weaker bond.

I know exactly what happened between Lotties and Nak. Here's is how the events played out.
Tuesday, 4:20pm. Nak needs new boards, shirts, and sweatshirts for all the homies because he focused theirs and the only reason they put up with him is for the crumbs of product, girls, events, and fame. Nak and the homies walk into Lotties.
Nak: Where's my red carpet? Feel me?
Lotties employee: Oh hey Nakel, hey guys... what was that?
Nak: It's Nak, feel me?
Lotties employee: Uh.. okay (looks at the homies... no one makes eye contact).
Nak: Feel me. I need new everything for the homies. Feel me?
Lotties employee: Okay cool, we have a lot of stuff that you can get. It's great that you are choosing to support our business. Times have been tough due to COVID and the retail climate in general. Were you thinking cash or charge?
Nak: Feel me. I'm PRO AS FUCK!
Lotties employee: Sure.. I mean I can't remember any of your footage or tricks but yeah, you seem very professional.
Nak: Feel me!
Lotties employee: ...
Nak: *Lights spliff.
Lotties employee: So I'll just call Dill to see if I should bill FA for everything or...
Nak: *Starts IG Live Stream. Feel me right now.
Lotties employee: Hey, all this product actually costs us money. If we don't sell it, then we have no business. That's how business works. You should know, don't you have a clothing company or something?
Nak: My shit wet. Feel me. I am sk8. Eat my shorts. I extreme. Zip pop pow!
Lotties employee: Oh shit. Nake... I mean Nak is having a stroke call 911.
Nak: What is Lotties? lol, feel... lol me cough cough (his spliff hits different).
*all the homies are impressed. They walk out the door and are super happy with themselves. Nak does a hardflip and everyone cheers. But one homie didn't cheer loud enough so he focuses the homie's shoes. The homie laughs out loud but is crying inside. That was his only pair of shoes and he has to be at work in an hour. Nak leaves the crew because he has to go to a salon to get his hair dyed a new color, he wouldn't be caught dead with the same hair color two weeks in a row. He sits in the salon chair contemplating if people will ever really feel him. A single tear forms in his bloodshot eye. The tear almost falls but he remembers that if you lose a tear, you are in a world of hurt. He holds the tear back using his mind powers. He learns that he doesn't know who he is, where he fits in this world, and yes, even Nak doesn't understand... no, he doesn't feel himself.
so lotties is closed for good because of nak?

Surprised adidas hasn't dropped him yet
Also, who is running Adidas skateboarding? Who selected that awkward team? Who the fuck decided to put snoop dogg in the full length and put together that terrible movie? Adidas skateboarding is a fucking joke
Adidas team seems pretty normal and solid to me. some legends, some skater choice guys, some guys who are just real good, Nora, a bunch of non-americans for markets where Adidas is top , etc. the only guy that seems out of place is Frankie Spears but idk that much about him , maybe it makes sense.
who has the inside scoop on the reasons why lotties is closing???

Yes like Mark Gonzales who's responsible for starting that up and who happened to discovery Brent Atchley at Burnside when he flew in from overseas to do it. Also theres that MJ guy. Oh and Daewon Song and bunch of younger cats that shred. Also Adidas has always had street cred all the way back from Run DMC days in the 80's.
Mike is fine but I feel bad for the kids in that area that hung out in the shop. Not worried about Mike. Baker and I'm sure half the industry has his back. The locals are really who suffers if its indeed a wrap. Thinking back on it, it was weird that half of those Lotties vids featured ppl from other states and countries who often had other shop sponsors. Wish all the hype around that place translated to a shop that remained a staple for the locals.

gonz, who grew up in huntington, flew in from the foreign country of nyc to discover brent atchley, who skated for nike already, and recruited him to..not skate for adidas. seems clear cut to me
cool though that Brent Atchley is in this thread now. I mean, why not? I heard Atchley was the big wig at Nike who told Nakel to cancel Brian Lotti's Nike account...

Unless I'm sleeping on a gem, the Westside is not great. Lots of surf, bike longboard type deals. Then you have places where they can consistently move Baker or DLX product so that's about all they get in. Lotties wasn't even technically west but it was so close that it still counts. Maybe it's a real estate thing. The last place that looked like it could really be something was Courthouse and they've been gone a while I think.Expand QuoteMike is fine but I feel bad for the kids in that area that hung out in the shop.

I honestly find Nak the most insufferable person in skateboarding (not that it makes him the worst, fuck dudes like Yonnie, Daryl Angel, etc). He's been pro for like 6 years, and hasn't put out a memorable or iconic part, yet has sponsorships like he's a top pro. I at least get the KB hype, dude is naturally one of the most talented guys on a board when he chooses to skate. Nakel seems more a product of his sponsorships (FA/Supreme) than someone who helps define the brands that sponsor him.

That's ridiculous and sucks. I'm 3000 or so miles away, but I loved what Lotties was doing video-wise, and this sounds like a loss for the area. Why was this happening?

Don’t hate on pocket watches! I have one that was my great great grandfathers, and it’s easily the coolest thing I own. He used it as he was making power moves down in the Caribbean, and my cousins have no idea that my great grandfather left it to me. Tbh I’d rather talk about pocket watches (or watches in general) than board brands that appeal to rebellious suburban preteens like Illegal Civ, but I think we’re all in agreement that Mikey Alfred is nauseating.

This is somewhat unclear, was it violence toward just the shop or were Beibel types wandering the neighborhood fighting locals all day? Was the shop targeted specifically, and what was the reason?
Also banging an Olson twin is definitely not a W, both look like a cross between starving aliens and 20 year old grandparents

Don’t hate on pocket watches! I have one that was my great great grandfathers, and it’s easily the coolest thing I own. He used it as he was making power moves down in the Caribbean, and my cousins have no idea that my great grandfather left it to me. Tbh I’d rather talk about pocket watches (or watches in general) than board brands that appeal to rebellious suburban preteens like Illegal Civ, but I think we’re all in agreement that Mikey Alfred is nauseating.

I'm not watching a 15 minute video about this, but it's really hard to imagine that someone can go and stir up this much shit with major players in the skate industry and night find themselves out on their ass right quick.I think I remember hearing he’s Kareem’s nephew. I don’t know how much that helps today but it has to do something for him.

no its not. they are a design collective going with time and grabbing cultural references and ideas from the past and make them new and not one pair of slim fitting jeans.
they will be around a lot longer than some of you guys are hoping for.
would you laugh about how David bowie dressed? would you think he would have made that much of an impact if he was just a regular boring guy with a t-shirt and some jeans? the world view some of you guys have is far to boring for me.

Nakel is the new Terry Kennedy!
Looking like he just deleted his insta or all Of his posts. He posted a picture of Trae Young at MSG with a weird caption saying “me vs the industry rn. Y’all act nosey but don’t give AF.” Something along those lines. Looks like he deleted it along with the rest of his Instagram posts. Thinking he’s of FA and Adidas possibly.

Sorry if I missed it but is there anything concrete that shows Nak is the reason Lottie's closed? I thought someone here said that the lease expired and Mike was over it. Seems a lot more likely than Nak greenlighting them.Mike posted new product a day or two before closing. If lease was expiring, I'm sure it would be less sudden.

A big reason for the close that only a few people know about is that on a day after the nakel stories (I forgot which day specifically) was that a lotties kid was going to open the shop while Mike was busy and there was a group of nakel friends/fans/dumb kids that were posted at the shop waiting for any lotties kids to come. The employee called Mike and said he didnt want to open the shop out of fear, and mike said dont worry, im just gonna close the shop and close my accounts.
Met Mike once and can say huge, huge fan. DMed him asking if i can buy any last min product but he said he gave a bunch away to shops and friends outside of LA and didnt make any more. I know mike can make good art for vans and outside of skating, but i really hope nakel feels really fucking good that a bunch of kids got beaten up and more are intimated and cant wear lotties gear because of Nak's dumbass following.

What kind of side step bullshit response is this? Don’t start a business that people rely on for money if you’re just going to close up shop at the first sign of problems.

i think since you are an idiot i should probably point out that that was sarcasm.[close]
You’re bitchmade franky[close]
no i ran a shop and had windows smashed in and shit like this and if you are in volatile place where employees and merch can get hurt or damaged you are stupid to hang around to seem tough. you are a clueless bitchbaby. wtf is wrong with you. cops can't patrol that shop all the time, nor will they probably care a lot about that conflict unless something criminal already happened and bringing them in might also not be something that reflects well on the shop or mr lotties. seems more like a calculated thing and that he cut his losses for his employees safety. nothing soft about that.
and you are still a fucking idiot, i told you i wrote in sarcasm, yet you took the cult goons comment for super real.
Nobody smashed in anybody’s windows buddy. Calm down, it was couple pimply kids who probably drove by and yelled “fuck lotties, gang gang,” as they were blasting Naks shitty mixtape. Your shop probably sucked ass if it was targeted that much. Never heard of a good shop having problems like thatExpand QuoteExpand QuoteYep, a couple pimply scrawny teenagers are hanging out intimidating people in front of my business, no way should I call the cops, or maybe even go down to my own shop to handle things. Might as well close up operations for good.Expand QuoteExpand QuoteMike sounds soft as hell. Like the rest of y’all who just let this dude focus you and your homies boards with no repercussions. Couldn’t be me lol. Does nobody in LA have a cliche conflict resolution Kevin?Expand QuoteExpand QuoteSorry if I missed it but is there anything concrete that shows Nak is the reason Lottie's closed? I thought someone here said that the lease expired and Mike was over it. Seems a lot more likely than Nak greenlighting them.[close]
A big reason for the close that only a few people know about is that on a day after the nakel stories (I forgot which day specifically) was that a lotties kid was going to open the shop while Mike was busy and there was a group of nakel friends/fans/dumb kids that were posted at the shop waiting for any lotties kids to come. The employee called Mike and said he didnt want to open the shop out of fear, and mike said dont worry, im just gonna close the shop and close my accounts.
Met Mike once and can say huge, huge fan. DMed him asking if i can buy any last min product but he said he gave a bunch away to shops and friends outside of LA and didnt make any more. I know mike can make good art for vans and outside of skating, but i really hope nakel feels really fucking good that a bunch of kids got beaten up and more are intimated and cant wear lotties gear because of Nak's dumbass following.[close]

Couldn’t be me. I would beat up the children. Gang gang.
some of these story are silly and sound like people making up stuff . You don't have to make up stories, there really was a skate shop looting last year, probably many of them? Familia in Minneapolis got hit hard during the George Floyd riot, windows smashed, product stolen. The FBI caught some of the looters, a crew of them were sadly local skater kids who frequented the shop. The owner there is extremely depressed about all of it, replacement glass shortage, covid shutdowns, and plywood windows in frozen Minnesota for over a year. And they're still open...Genuinely curious, how do you know all of that?

on topic real quick: i dont know shit about LA neighborhood geography like i do ny. was lotties in a semi sketchy neighborhood? or just a spanish neighborhood where crimes occasional happen just like any other neighborhood held down by any other ethnicity? ive only been to LA once so idk where west adams even is. but it always seemed like a nice little vibe over there atleast via IG stories a year ago when id see them.poetry
if the lease was about to be up, and lotties employees (he hired young kids from the neighborhood, not like it was some goofball sebo walker lookin mfer right?) were at risk then shouts out to mike for closing a few weeks early. obviously the shop was closing or moving soon if the lease was up. it just hadnt been posted about. so potentially keeping any of those kids from getting hurt over some product is worth not being open for the day; possibly selling a pair of shoes and reminding "the homies" that grip tape costs money all day.
off topic but more importantly: yo beeflad i was just playin brother. if you (or any of you other lunatics) are actually depressed reach out to someone. fuck it if you got nobody DM me. this past year been a bitch for everyone, idc how cool you think you are mental health and depression dont care about your supreme boxers or palace purses.
also: check up on your friends. cliche at this point but thats not a bad thing for once. its not unusual for the homie who seems to be most level headed in the crew to be the one to have some demons eating at them. you might save someones life just by reaching out and saying "everything good my dude?" and you dont wanna live with that guilt. it sucks.
sorry for the segway but i guess it seems fit. someone that isnt a yesman needs to let nak know hes blowing it. if this is how he acts with money, yesmen, opportunities, how tf yall expect him to act when he loses it all overnight.

Mental Health and depression suck balls. I have frequent seizures due to epilepsy, and I haven't been able to drive a car in over a year due to my license getting suspended (seizure while driving on freeway, hit a concrete median head on going between 70-80 mph. My car was torn in half down the middle and I barely survived.) Getting to work is next to impossible, and I'm spending more and more time alone, which fucking sucks. On top of that, I may need another bowel resection due to Crohn's (already have had 3 feet of large intestine removed.) Sometimes I REALLY need somebody to talk to when feeling down. That being said, again, please DM me if you are feeling down. ANYBODY!
Nakel is a power kook.

Nakel is the type to start a losing argument, only to call whoever he is arguing with racist as soon as things stop going his way.
Noone hates on tyshawn. He's a smart cool chill and talented skater. I though zion should've gotten soty that year but it doesn't mean tyshawn isn't awesome anyway, plus he stays true to his roots. I'm not into the whole supreme/fa vibe but have mad respect for tyshawn

How do you feel you are being portrayed in all of this Nak?
Independently from what is the actual issue with Lotties, the way Nakel is trying to solve the problem is a fruitless way.
Life is not a rap music video, and if he actually wants to help the scene he should act in a constructive way, not a destructive way.
I think he needs help.

His mother's maiden name is Judith Wexler. She is the daughter of Chicago real estate tycoon Jerrold Wexler. When he died she and her siblings inherited 68% of Jupiter Industries, Jerrold Wexler's company. At the time of his death the company was valued at 2.5 billion dollars. There were extended legal battles for control of the fortune in the mid 90s but the siblings held on to pretty much all of the shares they inherited. Over the years they have sold off parts of the business to get access to cash. In 2005 for instance they sold off the trucking wing of the business for 250 million dollars. There is a lot of information about the Wexler family in business and financial magazine archives due to the ugly legal battles between the siblings and the representatives of Jupiter.
here is an obituary of Jerrold Wexler, which gives a concise overview of his business activity and fortune:
https://www.nytimes.com/1992/11/12/us/jerrold-wexler-68-chicago-developer-who-built-empire.html
Related, Judith Wexler's sister Jane married into a different wealthy family who is heavily involved in redeveloping real estate in Los Angeles.
One percenter like Hell's Angels? Or 1% of the pop controlling 99% of the wealth?I thought it was 3%

What's the correct way to address the problem? What is a shop's role in addressing violence? Genuinely asking because Nak's response was that violence just happens and he wished it didn't.He was talkin bout "Bloods" First line on wikipedia says "The Bloods are a primarily African-American street gang founded in Los Angeles, California." Lotties moved to the hood and then instead of tryin to help wit the problems he complainin about he talked shit about the locals, closed and went back to whatever rich neighborhood he came from instead of doin somethin to help. This also aint the first time Lotties moved into a hood and got told to bounce. That was they 3rd location. Give your money to Neighbors Skate Shop. From the hood for the hood.Expand QuoteSomebody gotta come through with more details than just "trying to block other skateshops." Someone said he was talking shit to reps about Neighbors... what could he have said? If Lotties is funded by family money, why would he worry about competing with another shop? Is that fact alone the thing that Nak is taking an issue with? If there is more to the story, I would like to see some proof.
And I don't care who you are or where you're from, condemning violence and robbing is not racist. I highly doubt his original post said, "Stay away from ______ park, the black kids who skate there are going to rob you." Did he ever actually target any individuals, or did he just say stay away from the park where people have been getting jumped? And yeah people get jumped at skateparks, but what's the better response: "it happens" or "watch your back and stay away." If your local is dangerous, just fuckin accept it and agree with the "stay safe" message or do something about it rather than rip up the shirts because someone pointed it out.
Nak is really doubling down and in the comments on IG, if he has something actual to say I wish he'd just say it. Vague tidbits followed by "and there you have it!" isn't really doin it. We need details, Nak, nitty gritty details.[close]
I dunno the answer to that but if he gonna speak on it he at least gotta be ready to try and do somethin about it more than talkin on the internet.

This is what is aggravating as hell.
I don’t think you realize the liability exposure and responsibility of the shop owner.
To have a literal gang jumping children and ripping clothes off of people PLUS a pseudo-celebrity condoning this behavior (focusing the shit out of all of your product) you as the shop owner and an adult in general, could face punishment.
To put it into perspective, the shop owner is knowingly selling children products (boards and shirts) that will get them jumped, robbed and naked with the business name splattered all over it. Think if a kid gets beat to death. Who will the family lawyers go after? The blood gang? Hell no, the guy with the money and liability.
You as a shop owner gets a call from the kid opening up. He says he doesn’t feel safe going in. Lurkers are everywhere and there is news of kids getting jumped because of associations to your business.
To say, “hell no, get your bitch ass in that store and sell some dlx and baker” Now puts the burden of that kids well-being into your hands. Anything that happens from that point is on you. The mob breaks that kids arm... your paying that bill, bud.
The courts are ugly and ruthless as hell especially when you put morals (protecting children) under personal gain (keep your business running).
Depending on how the business was setup, the shop owner could be personally held responsible for any damages or bodily harm. Think if a kid ending up in a coma! Lotties might be able to absorb that him personally? No way.
It doesn’t make business sense especially when topped with a local idiot of supreme fame to dictate if you do enough or not.

This has no basis in reality. Nike doesn’t get sued when some kid gets robbed for his rare Jordans. The shop would never be held legally responsible because someone got violent over a t-shirt. If this got to a judge, they’d dismiss a claim like this with prejudice.
Could have been the Triads bro.we tryin our best. we been tryin for years before lotties was even over here. the way y'all make lotties seem like its some spot that does so much for the hood is funny as hell. he closed and ran the sec shit got dangerous. where tf did he think he was openin? Beverly Hills? he the one who was making the bread off us so maybe he the one who should have some "solutions"
All this aside read my previous post and think about solutions. We have had the airing of grievances, now work on how you can help the situation besides calling someone out. Your heart is in the right place but you going about this all wrong. I get it you wanna stick up for black skaters or any skaters from your area and you feel like Lotties was in the wrong pointing fingers without offering solutions

I dunno why don't you ask mike he the one who made it about race only lookin out for mexican kids while pointin the finger at black kids as the problem. if u can't see why that made the locals mad then whatever. he said don't go to this specific park and everyone was like what why. we be at that park everyday skatin. yeah there is problems sometimes but that's everywhere. that's LA. if I had it my way it would be the safe all the time. we clean up and shit. we do what we can. my only thing is if you gonna speak on it you better have some action to back it up. not just close up shop and run likea bitch.Expand QuoteExpand Quotewarning hispanic kids to stay away from a mostly black skate park as a white guyExpand Quotewarning his customers to not go where people are getting beat is sticking his nose in hood politics?
anyways, neighborhood looks legit and I hope its successful and the scene in your area has a solid shop for years to come. I'm not sure if a shop can do much about the violence but self policing is important in any scene. Look out for one another and don't just rely on "it's just the way it is" type thinking like nak is while criticizing everyone else.[close]
why he gotta specifically look out for hispanic kids only? why not all kids? y'all missin the fuckin point. its not about him tryin to stop kids from gettin beat up. cool that's great. thanks mike. its about him only lookin out for one certain types of kid while pointing the finger at others for bein the problem. while also not doin shit to help but postin on insta.[close]
What’s race gotta do with it though? An adult who knows better is advising kids to avoid a potentially dangerous situation, that’s what adults are supposed to do doofus.[close]

Huge fan of slap. shalom, ya’ll.
This is what is aggravating as hell.
I don’t think you realize the liability exposure and responsibility of the shop owner.
To have a literal gang jumping children and ripping clothes off of people PLUS a pseudo-celebrity condoning this behavior (focusing the shit out of all of your product) you as the shop owner and an adult in general, could face punishment.
To put it into perspective, the shop owner is knowingly selling children products (boards and shirts) that will get them jumped, robbed and naked with the business name splattered all over it. Think if a kid gets beat to death. Who will the family lawyers go after? The blood gang? Hell no, the guy with the money and liability.
You as a shop owner gets a call from the kid opening up. He says he doesn’t feel safe going in. Lurkers are everywhere and there is news of kids getting jumped because of associations to your business.
To say, “hell no, get your bitch ass in that store and sell some dlx and baker” Now puts the burden of that kids well-being into your hands. Anything that happens from that point is on you. The mob breaks that kids arm... your paying that bill, bud.
The courts are ugly and ruthless as hell especially when you put morals (protecting children) under personal gain (keep your business running).
Depending on how the business was setup, the shop owner could be personally held responsible for any damages or bodily harm. Think if a kid ending up in a coma! Lotties might be able to absorb that him personally? No way.[close]
This has no basis in reality. Nike doesn’t get sued when some kid gets robbed for his rare Jordans. The shop would never be held legally responsible because someone got violent over a t-shirt. If this got to a judge, they’d dismiss a claim like this with prejudice.[close]
I’m a corporate attorney. Shut up.

True.
Most of these cases will never make it to court.
A judge couldn’t care less. Honestly, I couldnt care less half the time but I would have an absolute field day as a families attorney suing a lotties right now.
Especially if that kid was told to open the shop got himself tore up in the parking AFTER stating that he felt unsafe.
It’s the real world. I hate it and I’m sorry but that’s the reality of liability claims.
If this is totally unrealistic then you should have no problem pointing to cases similar to this that have been so prejudicially dismissed... am I right?

That is what I meant with my comment. This info sounds sort of legit but is not true at all. It sounds like something someones dad would tell them to dissuade them from opening a store in "the hood". to me the real interesting story here is the story arc of Succession that is happening behind the scenes

So, yeah, that's not how this works since trial court orders prejudicially dismissing cases are practically never published and getting on a court's document access service and searching for a case with this fact pattern would be a spectacular waste of time providing nothing of value.
Upon what theory would this supposed liability be based? Since you're a highly valuable expert, you should just be able to say what the cause of action would be and other attorneys would then at least have a starting point. If you can't do that, you're probably just an internet liar, which, hey, everyone has their vices.

Bro, you're the one saying a business can be liable when someone wears their merchandise and gets beat up by a third party over whom they have no control. This sounds completely ludicrous and warrants some kind of citation. Or just keep kooking it, I don't really care.

Huge fan of slap. shalom, ya’ll.
This is what is aggravating as hell.
I don’t think you realize the liability exposure and responsibility of the shop owner.
To have a literal gang jumping children and ripping clothes off of people PLUS a pseudo-celebrity condoning this behavior (focusing the shit out of all of your product) you as the shop owner and an adult in general, could face punishment.
To put it into perspective, the shop owner is knowingly selling children products (boards and shirts) that will get them jumped, robbed and naked with the business name splattered all over it. Think if a kid gets beat to death. Who will the family lawyers go after? The blood gang? Hell no, the guy with the money and liability.
You as a shop owner gets a call from the kid opening up. He says he doesn’t feel safe going in. Lurkers are everywhere and there is news of kids getting jumped because of associations to your business.
To say, “hell no, get your bitch ass in that store and sell some dlx and baker” Now puts the burden of that kids well-being into your hands. Anything that happens from that point is on you. The mob breaks that kids arm... your paying that bill, bud.
The courts are ugly and ruthless as hell especially when you put morals (protecting children) under personal gain (keep your business running).
Depending on how the business was setup, the shop owner could be personally held responsible for any damages or bodily harm. Think if a kid ending up in a coma! Lotties might be able to absorb that him personally? No way.[close]
This has no basis in reality. Nike doesn’t get sued when some kid gets robbed for his rare Jordans. The shop would never be held legally responsible because someone got violent over a t-shirt. If this got to a judge, they’d dismiss a claim like this with prejudice.[close]
I’m a corporate attorney. Shut up.

Then it shouldn't be hard for you to come up with some instances of something like this actually happening.[close]
It’s not hard at all. My time is billable though.. jk.
Brother I’ve sued and have been sued for less.
True.
Most of these cases will never make it to court.
A judge couldn’t care less. Honestly, I couldnt care less half the time but I would have an absolute field day as a families attorney suing a lotties right now.
Especially if that kid was told to open the shop got himself tore up in the parking AFTER stating that he felt unsafe.
It’s the real world. I hate it and I’m sorry but that’s the reality of liability claims.
If this is totally unrealistic then you should have no problem pointing to cases similar to this that have been so prejudicially dismissed... am I right?

It doesn’t make business sense especially when topped with a local idiot of supreme fame to dictate if you do enough or not.
Which brings me to my next point... nakel, you suck.
Your entitlement is so far off the radar. To think that you should physically police what people wear and ride so that it’s tailored to your liking is disgusting. Fuck nakel and honestly fuck dill and Ave for letting this fly.

I talk a lot of shit in this thread, but honestly I think the guy is bipolar. I kind of hoped for the best for the guy watching shit unfold over the last couple years, but that changed when kids started getting hurt. Shit is unacceptable. If so, i hope he gets some kind of treatment. Industry people have a long memory and i think he already fucked his career

Nakel getting the boot from Adidas and FA would be sensational. I imagine Nakel putting out an IG post talking about how HAWRD he's gonna go, only to go full Jereme Rogers and quit to pursue rapping.

I think I'm on the wrong forum here, if people watched that monster children thing and think that dude is cool and not an asshole. he don't like surfers, music snobs, vegans, people who hate trump, etc. ok whatever, but then why get into a customer facing business in Los Angeles ?? to me nak just seem like the hyper skate guy who runs his mouth too much, theres always one of those around. but usually guys dont get into a business where they already hate 80% of their potential customers[close]
People like you are so annoying on these boards. It’s like you intentionally didn’t hear anything he actually said. He doesn’t hate vegans, he hates the hypocritical vegans who do coke also because cocaine carves a much bloodier path to go up your nose than the beef for a hamburger does. He hates the music snobs who make you name an entire discography and history in order to be able to say you can officially “like” a band, and surfers out here are paradoxically ultra aggressive about their spots whilst being “at peace with nature and good vibes”

I understand the archetype. I just am not into that kind of dude anymore. and I think the world has moved on. he's like the high fidelity guy of skateshops. Autumn in NYC was a lot like that. I (used to) travel all over the place too and have not really been running into that kind of guy anymore. that whole judgmental sourpuss thing is very late gen-x / elder millennial. the younger guys are always pretty positive and "chill" seeming. honestly im actually sort of surprised and refreshed at the newer attitude I encounter in real life because I am more used to the mike Lottie type guy. a lot of my old friend are basically like that and grouching it up online to me and it gets pretty tiresome. then I go to the skate shop and the 20 year old guy is like YO!That is weirdly accurate. I am on the very tail end of the "jaded sarcastic hating on everything" being cool skateboarding generation and kind of have that personality if I am being honest.

the other thing is that if you live in nyc he is a stereotype. he is the same as every 1 percenter Pratt kid slumming for clout. they seem like a normal part of the crew, he has the dumb tattoos, he is some dudes roommate, they live in a dump but then you start to notice some things are off, like hes got 150 grand worth of modular synthesizers, an amex black card, and goes to aspen for Christmas...

Sorry to derail the thread further, but I just tried a Quasi for the first time, and I snapped the nose clean on a flatground nollie heel on only the third session. I never snap boards, I crack them at worst. I couldn't believe it. I had just gotten off a Baker I skated for damn near a year. Guess I'm of PS Stix.

I don't know, I think thats possible with any new board. I did the same thing to a brand new FA Sid and Nancy board on flat ground first time I rode it. As far as PS Stix, I don't find they feel soggy though, more like springy. I love them when they don't fall apart.

the other thing is that if you live in nyc he is a stereotype. he is the same as every 1 percenter Pratt kid slumming for clout. they seem like a normal part of the crew, he has the dumb tattoos, he is some dudes roommate, they live in a dump but then you start to notice some things are off, like hes got 150 grand worth of modular synthesizers, an amex black card, and goes to aspen for Christmas...[close]

ACIDPLY is literally nothing. It is just made up market hype to sell boards. As much as I love Quasi I have had too many of their boards with major glue/bonding issues to pick up another one. Maybe it's a PS Stix issue in general I don't know, but I have had them delaminate often,even length wise form nose to tail.[close][close]
Sorry to derail the thread further, but I just tried a Quasi for the first time, and I snapped the nose clean on a flatground nollie heel on only the third session. I never snap boards, I crack them at worst. I couldn't believe it. I had just gotten off a Baker I skated for damn near a year. Guess I'm of PS Stix.
Semi-related to the thread, I'm glad to see my local in LA has not stirred up any drama.[close]
I don't know, I think thats possible with any new board. I did the same thing to a brand new FA Sid and Nancy board on flat ground first time I rode it. As far as PS Stix, I don't find they feel soggy though, more like springy. I love them when they don't fall apart.

That is weirdly accurate. I am on the very tail end of the "jaded sarcastic hating on everything" being cool skateboarding generation and kind of have that personality if I am being honest.Expand QuoteI understand the archetype. I just am not into that kind of dude anymore. and I think the world has moved on. he's like the high fidelity guy of skateshops. Autumn in NYC was a lot like that. I (used to) travel all over the place too and have not really been running into that kind of guy anymore. that whole judgmental sourpuss thing is very late gen-x / elder millennial. the younger guys are always pretty positive and "chill" seeming. honestly im actually sort of surprised and refreshed at the newer attitude I encounter in real life because I am more used to the mike Lottie type guy. a lot of my old friend are basically like that and grouching it up online to me and it gets pretty tiresome. then I go to the skate shop and the 20 year old guy is like YO![close]
The younger kids at the park are friendlier than we were at their age and seem genuinely hyped on most things. It's sick, and makes me hopeful for the future!

Not sure if you are insinuating that the Sid and Nancy Gino was a bbs/gen production, cuz I had the same deck and am 99% sure that was a ps stix prior to switching over to bbs shortly after.

We still have yet to see what the future holds. If the Nak decks being screened over is true, then it’s only a matter of time before it goes all the way left.

We still have yet to see what the future holds. If the Nak decks being screened over is true, then it’s only a matter of time before it goes all the way left. Nak is basically pulling a Jereme, adopting a boasty overinflated ego for his rap persona that doesn’t work in skateboarding; dude really thinks that ppl will follow him outside of skateboarding, he should really learn from his predecessors. Have you followed him on social media? No one gets away with race baiting Dick Rizzo, esp on Slap…

Good point Atiba. I’m not saying it was all pretty and perfect. Far from it but the organization as a whole was pretty progressive. Unfortunately there is a lot of racist assholes in and around Boston, but comparetively it’s pretty progressive there from other parts of the country.
As for your comment beneathme wtf are you talking about? Did you just invent that term? “Call a cop population” haha. Are you talking about the sports teams being successful or the general population? Most people from Boston want nothing to do with the cops especially the corrupt as hell MA State Police.
Oh shit, thanks $$lesh, when someone said "check page 37" and there was a Twitter link I thought it meant check page 37 of his Twitter posts and thought to myself "Ahhhhhhh FUCK DIS!" Kinda derped it on that one.

oh i definitely agree with you about his image outside of skating. i was very impressionable growing up, but luckily i was heavily influenced by malto and then the toy machine dudes. never really cared for smoking or drinking anyway as i was around heavy drug use in my immediate family and knew i wanted nothing to do with that. but anyway, he is a good skateboarder and wish he focused on that more than the rapping and being just kind of a weird dude moral-wise.Expand Quotehttps://www.instagram.com/p/CQgnU7Fl6gH/?utm_medium=copy_link he commented “lmfao” on this and the song sucked but the clips were sick i must say.[close]

I like the dudes skating just don't think he comes across with the best personality. But all I know is what I see online anyway. So theres that. Also I think skateboarding is about fun not about drinking and smoking weed and promoting guns.
Take that for what you will, but believe me that shit impacts young impressionable people. Don't act like you never were one. I mean people started throwing random shit like big ass cups of soda/ice out of cars at random people after watching it happen it in certain videos pre jack ass.

I still can't tell if you missed the last 100 comments about this being a parody of a well known black film, or if the context surrounding the graphic is going over your head?
No one is "playing with guns" or "drinking liquor". They're superimposed behind some stock photos. (Side note: Dude even if you don't like weed I can't understand someone in 2021 thinking it's some sort of taboo thing haha)
It's a pretty crude photoshop job, so I think it's safe to assume it's not to be taken too seriously or literally. I think the average skater, and especially fans of these dudes, probably read it similarly. I mean cmon, it looks like a PenPixel mixtape cover ha. You sound like someone who wasn't allowed to celebrate Halloween as a kid.
That's fine if you don't like Nakel, that's warranted-- but please just stop with your crybaby, barney and friends ass view of skateboarding bruh. There's plenty of room for parody/absurdity/referencing in skate content and branding. Most skate brands do this in some capacity.

I think you are a liar buddy[close]
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I assure you I am not a liar, but I have taken a break for about 4 days now for the first time in decades. This is why I said you all would be shocked if you actually knew me in person, because I am the nicest person you will ever meet and nobody aside from internet peeps would describe me differently. I swear I am a nice guy to every human I see but some of you really know how to make someone mad and seem to enjoy it. Which is kinda sad really. Now you can get back to whatever this thread actually is now..[close][close]
The little giant is a fine ladder by all standards but i prefer the mobility and versatility of a nice telescoping ladder

Yes, it's me again. Just wanted to ad the other place I have been the last five years is in Oregon and the weed here is probably better than anywhere else in the states. But as I said before I am leaving because this place is basically a big garbage dump full of tweakers and raw sewage. As far as Baltimore having bad weed, this might be a shock but it comes in from the west coast and home grows. There were no dispernery's in MD when I left Now I think they got some really overpriced ones. I will try not to be a "internet psychopath" but obviously it's hard for me. I'ma curl up in my cheetasheets and try to calm down.

if slap was able to document which woodshops make boards for each brand, we should be able to also track down where each major american city sources their weed from. which mids west coast growers are sending it to baltimore? who are these homegrowers? hell, where is my weed coming from since i live in ohio! what kingpin is lurking the boards and what can you inform us on.

Well the herb I was getting in Bmore came straight from Cali. And it was high-grade, no mids unless thats what you were after, before that started showing up frequently it was mexican brick weed back in the day. It comes vacuum sealed, fluffy and properly labeled. And having been out here,It's the same stuff. You just need to know the right people. As far as homegrown, people buy houses strip them out and turn them into heavy indoor grow rooms with nobody actually living there full time. Also I once got arrested for exactly one gram of weed in MD and it cost me 3 grand and a 30 day suspended sentence after a cop turned around to pull me over for going 5 over the speed limit on backroad in the middle of no where.

who cares
yall need to stop feeding these trolls with real responses.Converted grow houses in Gardena and the like are the new Humboldt farm op. It gets chopped up and sent all over the country where it's legal and not. It's a good way to wash dirty money. J3r3m3 knows what's happening.
even the weed in baltimore is laced with fent. that should give you and idea on the state of drugs over there but i honestly have no idea what you guys (or most likely, one kid with 2-4 accounts arguing with himself) are even going on about.
also i dont doubt its possible, but id like to see some proof of someone "buying up blocks worth" of them row-home bandos and turning them into big weed grow ops. weed isnt exactly the DOC in baltimore so id imagine even if they had a setup like that it would be for manufacturing real drugs first. again, i dont doubt it exists. baltimore is fucking crazy thats undeniable.

Damn yea I remember those. Those strains are from the era I started smoking in high school. Though I’d never refer to those as exotic, I’ll admit those were some of the best at the time. But the bar has been raised several times.
I think you were the one that said that every thing is good these days so doesn’t matter what you get and followed that statement with alien og as an example?
The fact that zaza / za doesn’t ring a bell to you speaks volumes. If you go into a coma off a bong rip I don’t think you’re at liberty to say everything is good. You just have a low tolerance so those weeds that were fire 10 years ago are still good to you
Anyone that’s been through the progression of OG -> girls scout cookies -> gelato -> runtz/the exotic flavors that followed, knows that not just everything is good, especially not what you just referred to as exotic
weed is not a toxin

Damn yea I remember those. Those strains are from the era I started smoking in high school. Though I’d never refer to those as exotic, I’ll admit those were some of the best at the time. But the bar has been raised several times.
I think you were the one that said that every thing is good these days so doesn’t matter what you get and followed that statement with alien og as an example?
The fact that zaza / za doesn’t ring a bell to you speaks volumes. If you go into a coma off a bong rip I don’t think you’re at liberty to say everything is good. You just have a low tolerance so those weeds that were fire 10 years ago are still good to you
Anyone that’s been through the progression of OG -> girls scout cookies -> gelato -> runtz/the exotic flavors that followed, knows that not just everything is good, especially not what you just referred to as exotic[close]
you're probably just desensitized as fuck and should prolly detox for a month or two.
it's kind of weird how proud you are that none of the standard weed does it for you and you wear it like a badge. sounds rather fucked to me.

@nonare- Believe in sativa or indica? aahaha &#38;#38;#38;#38;#38;#38;#129313; are you actually serious or trolling? If serious than you’re concept of strains has the same merit as flat earth theory. Like you're not allowed to talk about weed if you actually believe that ahha
There’s nothing for debate here. Any real toker can easily tell the difference indica and sativa.
@yonny- Very interesting take. Not doubting you’ve used the term a decade ago, but now I wonder if we mean the same thing when we use the term exotic...
I remember going to the cookies store opening in SF (circa 2014?). And even back then it was just gelato and girl scout cookies, and they’re pretty much one of the main pioneers of exotics.
I’m interested by what you mean by exotic? Do you mean like zaza? Like real za???
What strains were you copping a decade ago that you would consider exotic?[close]
I have no idea what the term zaza is lol I just know at that time I was getting buds from NYC called Sour D and some Hydro, I heard Strawberry Cough and Blue Dream a couple times.

How am I acting proud you weirdo? That @yonny dude (or chick?) made some comment about all accessible weeds being the best and equally good and then pointed out some of the strains that were considered the best nearly 10 yrs ago. (That'd be like naming the SOTYs 10 yrs ago as being the current best. Yeah, most are still ripping but the current goats like Louie Lopez, Ishod, Mason Silva, and the likes are now the best and are currently pushing the boundaries. It's not a perfect parallel but I think you can see the point here?).
I was just explaining that while those were the best back then, the quality and standards have since been raised, and the best shit now isn't as accessible and not everyone is copping. Initially thought it was just funny but then somehow explaining the difference got drawn out over several comments.

I mean go look at the page he linked in that photo, something tells me it's not the high natural iodine that sold him on seamoss. I also wouldn't wish covid on anyone either, but if he didn't get vaccinated and is out smoking blunts and hanging out with people maskless all day it's not really a surprise if he got it and if it's hitting him hard. you feel me?

Wow I met Carl Weston in 1998 when he came out to Newark to film Nace (R.I.P.) and Syco do a piece in Newark.
I haven't been reading this thread did you guys already discuss DWP (Drunk White Posse) in NJ?
How about Devz, Bob Puleo? He had a decent amount of ups around the city back in the day.
And if you're talking about graffiti in NYC there are two legendary writers from Staten Island, GANO and SEMZ (R.I.P.).

1800nipples rips and is the only youtuber besides maybe degros you should be watching. Sure opinions vids are whatever but slap is the last to be judging that. At least hes showing his face.
1800nipples, Gifted Hater, Joa, whatever you wanna call him, isn't really a youtube skater per se, just a skater with a YouTube account he made to talk his shit.
His voice is annoying and nasally, which might upset some, but for me it only adds to the whole shtick. His review of Stallion is so fucking good.
As for graffiti, I like Moses and Taps but I fear that's pretty mainstream shit. The wickets in here are great!
who was el kamino? that was someones sidename right? all those dudes got it in. DotM did his thing for sureThat was Elk's full name from DOS (Dirty Ol South) crew
cant fuck with the sk8 youtubers. if there are any that are cool, right on. but i immediately just think of how much john hill sucks. i do fuck with some of the retro videogame guys tho for nostalgia etc. SM64 glithes n shit, gettin stoney baloney and watching some Goldeneye speedruns shouts to my man Karl Jobst.
or e-benching and watching some of the real nerdy railfan foamers film a 175+car freight train crawling at 5mph looking for old gems. i was surprised, lots of clipping and other toy shit but theres still alot of classic shit running. gives you an idea how many cars dudes like ichabod must have hit when you cant find an american freight train video that doesnt have atleast one of his tags. inner city kids hating on and acting above freights was always the corniest shit to me. that shit is a world of its own.

Fuck saber. They should have included the version of it after JA and Foe dissed it. How long did sabers fatass say it took him while crying about his knees, like 2 months plus? Sure it was cool he went that big, and he acts like JA went out there and did that for no reason other than to get fame off him, which is fuckin hilarious.
Here’s what really happened. Saber came to NY and got paid to do his legal bullshit coloringbook bullshit somewhere Downtown and goes over one of the last living VEone fills he did himself aka not a tribute.
That’s why he’s been constantly disrespected here for decades. Only msk dudes coming around anymore are the younger ones also down with btm. The rest are a bunch of washed up old men who are no doubt very skilled, but the fact they still try to act like they have one foot in the streets is laughable.

That crew that hit the white Tropicana trains were tight. I didn't know too many writers personally. I mostly did my thing solo. There was a freight mini-yard (a layup?) about a half mile from where I lived, I would get-up there and 287.
I used to trainspot when I lived close to the tracks. ICH, (ichabod took me forever to figure out what ich was) was definitely on any freight I saw for about 10 years. It all started around 1996.
Found some of my railfan shit

This is the specific reason why I think we would get along.
I ended up watching his Olympic Twitch stream and now I get it. He definitely deserves his place alongside Degros and Chadd Sinclair as the other acceptable skate YouTuber.
CAn yall see those or should i just submit them though link
what's the story on that supreme train? Anyone know
Thx, I actually just moved desks one more over so I'm closer to the window but there weren't many trains today.
suspiciously quiet. It was cool to see how supply chain ramped back up and there were more trains than ever hauling ass trying to catch up to demand after first wave of covid.
it was sick when neil blender put up the bronze logo at that one contest
it would make more sense that he capped a SANE than VE. They both live on you can find a good hand full of VE fire escape throws still living in bushwick and further south
Not sure who he is or where he came from but have really been getting a kick out of QZAR lately. I used to obsessively follow and document the scene I have a pretty good collection of photos from the last decade or so that I will most likely never scan. Maybe I'll die in a fire with them one day

To wrap it all up in a nice little bow for you, Naked Nickel ripped a lotties sweatshirt because mike didnt let him pet his dog at the store, told him that a lakai owen was a cupsole, and was just generally not a chill dude and definitely didnt feel him. All the while Mikes family is loaded and lives in Calabasas or something. THEN PK Kid hit the fucking water tower and still nobody knows how he did it other than maybe a hang down ladder which would fill me with joy. forgive me if i missed anything

Alright i'm a local and i use to go to lotties when it first opened, there's alot of info out there that aint happen. Here's what led to the shop closing.
First off Mike was a dick to everyone that did not share his view. Plain and simple.
This shop was in the hood, by crenshaw and adams. He should had expected hood mentality in the hood, couldn't handled it, should had taken his ass a few blocks up to wilshire prior to opening the shop.
It's like saying let me go to drug party but there better not be any drugs, wtf dude.
Anyways, the other employees were cool though, ngl.
Shop did carry a lot of good merch just pricey as hell, 90 bucks for a deck and grip, more if u wanted other grip.
He would treat the locals like shit, i use to go by myself and it was like whatever, then again i just paid and left, didnt really hang out, but once i rolled up w someone w skate cred (dont want to mention names) and his mentality changed from thereafter towards me. Dick riding much? This is when i picked up his vibe.
There's a skatepark near by and he would talk shit about those locals saying they fucking ghetto and ranting like a lil B saying they wouldn't buy shit and just wanted to kick it. I mean i may be wrong, but shouldn't a shop be welcoming? I would tell him there was nothing but good vibes at the park, i mean ur in these kids community, wouldn't it be smart to be part of the community? i'm an old head so these were serious conversations, but he showed hate towards this skatepark. Eventually, all of the locals caught on to it and started saying fuck lotties and stop supporting it. He had the industry on his back so he said fuck them back. Bad business.
While shit was already sour, the whole nakel shit happened. Nakel was a local to that skatepark before he blew up and a lot of his homies to this day are out these rippin this park. Going back to the hood shit, hood activities are the norm for us, it is what it is. So some kid got jumped at the park by some hood fools not by skaters. Well mike decided it would be smart to go on his IG and start talking shit, saying fuck this park and fuck the locals, don't go skating there, its fucking ghetto and some other hate shit towards the community and the only local park. Again, i skate there, it's not that way at all, but if he would of taken his head out of his ass he would had known this and maybe his shop would still be around.
Keeping my report going LMAO,
Nakel saw that IG shit, and him being part of the industry and knowing that the locals do not have the voice to be heard by the industry nor would the industry give two fucks about the hood skaters out here, Nakel stood up and talked shit back to mike and Lotties on IG. He said what we all felt.
See the back story no one knows unless u a local. So he comes off like the bad guy. All he did was had our backs. But Again prior to this there was already that negative energy towards the shop.
So word got around and pretty much the community kicked Mike and his lil skateshop out.
How they did that? didnt take much effort, all they did was talk shit.
Imagine disrespecting people he didnt even know and making them seem some type a way through a large platform like IG to the skate community we love and endear so much. Why make us seem some way? Because they asked for a free sticker to slap on their board to rep the shop?
So mike did what any bitch made person would do and ran with his tail tucked in between his legs.
That's the whole story. Nakel defended his local park from this person who was already low key starting shit. I mean it sucks a skateshop had to close down, but its not the shop the locals didn't want, it was Mike and his asshole mentality. Skate up fam.

i was a local at lotties for 4 years, been in there everyday and knew the crew. just got on this website because a kid i go to school with showed me this fool writing all sorts of lies.I would need very little convincing to agree with you about Nakel as a person.
heres whats up. nakel and his homies would come in and be disrespectful on another level. Nakel homie Tyrae (he worked at FA shop) came in and told Mike to regrip his board that was covered in dog shit. actual dog shit. Dont believe me? ask any kid who kicked it there or worked there, they know. mike told the dude to leave, and his B ass ran to Nakel sayin "lotties is wack they disrespected me" n all that. thats what started the whole beef.
then naks homies shop Babylon opened on the same street like 50 feet away. Those fools talked shit everyday and started hitting up everyone in the biz tryin to steal businness from lotties. again, if you dont believe me, ask any of the fools that worked there or kicked it there.
then after some locals got beat up so badly they had to go to the hospital, lotties put it on instagram warning kids to be careful at the local park . he was looking out for the kids, not anything else.
Nak and his hoe ass friends took that as disrespect because they are for real stupid as hell, and then they went to the instagram to cause beef. Mike aint do shit wrong, all he did was help the local kids everyday. This fool on here saying mike treated the locals like shit? lol he treated us great and gave us a place to kick it all the time, gave us free stuff whenever we needed. He still makes sure we got boards and shoes to skate even now.
also Mike was fighting cancer the whole time running the shop if you didnt know all that. fool was handling real shit and had to deal with petty ass hoes like Nakel Smith.
after nak did all his crying on instagram, shit got crazy and fools got pressed and in fights.
the homie sammy who kicked it at lotties everyday is mentally challenged and naks little minions threw a bottle at him and pushed him because he was wearing a lotties hoodie. yall think im lying i dont care, ask mike yourself.
mike closed lotties because he was over it plain and simple and so were the fools that worked there. everyday turned into some bullshit. wasnt worth it. not nak or any of his hoe ass friends said shit to mikes face. they just talked shit on instagram but since nakel is famous he got his fans to get kids hurt. was as fuck.

Can confirm what westsideloc said. How painfully ignorant and stupid Nakel is should be enough evidence that his side of the story is wildly skewed.

then naks homies shop Babylon opened on the same street like 50 feet away. Those fools talked shit everyday and started hitting up everyone in the biz tryin to steal businness from lotties. again, if you dont believe me, ask any of the fools that worked there or kicked it there.

Not a big fa fan, not a hater either. Never will buy one cuz I can’t stand nakel. Funny Aidan didn’t wanna be on a team with Milic but signed up to go on trips with nakel sounds fun
I honestly don’t have an opinion on either side of this beef considering it just seems like some sort of unchecked ego SoCal shit but I will never forgive Nakel for robbing us of potential new David Clark footy
Something I was always curious about, what happened to all of Lotties’ product? That shop was fully stocked one day and gone the next.
Even if he called all the homies and had a fire sale, there’s no way he could have moved all of it…

Skateshop beef in general is pretty stupid and childish, and seeing a well-paid pro engage in it is beyond dumb. Like, I get hating mall shops that fuck with local stores that help the scene, or stores with absentee owners who don't give a shit. But, that doesn't appear to be the case with Lotties.

For free?
That’s awesome.
Just to recap for all of you “both side”ers
One party in this beef gave the entire stock of their shop to needy shops FOR FUCKING FREE after making the hard decision to close his shop for the safety of the neighborhood kids, the other party focuses kids boards and violently rips clothes off of kids backs for wearing/riding brands he personally doesn’t like. He hates the shop in question because they wouldn’t regrip his friends dogshit covered board, and thinks it’s cool to escalate that into physical violence against children and a mentally handicapped adult.
