Title: Kenny Anderson and Clearweather
Post by: somedudefromnj on July 26, 2022, 08:53:24 AM
Dunno if its topic worthy, but how long has Kenny been off of cons? Saw him with some Clearweather samples in some story post, and just noticed hes wearing Clearweathers in his Chocolate ad

I think he was very quietly kicked off Cons once it was revealed that he's an abuser. Correct me if I'm wrong tho

Seems like they just got some basic vulcs and added some lava lamp inspo on the toe cap and called it a company.

Damn, that shit fucked me up hearing that he is a woman abuser (I’d possibly be a bit skeptical if it was one isolated story from someone on social media, even though, at the same time I’m not saying I’d not believe it, you just never know for sure about the validity of what someone posts on the internet. But it sounds like there’s a lot more than one story where he abused multiple women, so it’s highly likely that all of what’s been said about him is true). I toured a bunch with him in 98/99 during the first wave of the converse’ skate team (honestly the best company I ever rode for and the paychecks were generous even before Nike bought them, when they were on the verge of bankruptcy).

He was pretty good at hiding those heinous traits.. but I guess you never really truly know what someone can be capable of.

Post by: Atiba Applebum on July 26, 2022, 11:03:27 PM
He was wearing authentics for a good while (probably just flowed a few pairs as a favor to a friend) before the Clearwater thing.   He’s been off cons for a good while.   

After Jason Jessee and Al Davis, they probably felt like they had to start internally drawing a line in the sand
Title: Re: Kenny Anderson and Clearweather
Post by: HORSES on July 26, 2022, 11:36:45 PM
I believe there was a mutual termination of contract with CONS, and he got paid out.


I have honestly never heard of Clearweather.

Gotta go way back but they had a bunch of plain sort of Clarks looking cupsoles. Altho the overall vibe was definatly more like supra or something. When I think about ipath my mind goes straight to memory of looking at the shoe wall and it's all GI Joe battleships then there's the cats and Panthers at the end looking like wallabies and desert treks

Agreed,, that shoe looks nothing like any I-path.. the shoe in the picture looks like Hellen Keller redisigned Kareem’s KCK signature duffs shoe from the mid 90’s while she was midway through a violent temper tantrum…

I didn’t mean to sound negative about what you said in your comment … I was just stating that I don’t think that the shoe (in the picture) looks like any I-path That I remember.

I just now saw the post about this shoe looking like a “KCK that was thrown in a cage with a wolverine” hahaha! That was such an awesome visualization!

It's not even a matter of believing the victims. Kenny posted a half-assed apology, kept it up for a few weeks, then deleted it like a coward once the dust settled.

Agreed, they're skate shoes are just classic vans era design with excesive rubber.



the Otoson/MIKO (why does it have 2 names?) looks dope and comfy. Not $200 dope, but a cool shoe. It also shows that they have some competent shoe designers over there. Their skateboard offerings are just boring. Even the KA shoe looks pretty basic.

Yeah; they've been around for a while now; always doing their thing and not really trying to blow up into the skateindustry.
The designs resemble some existing shoes, but they look fresher than some of the shoes they took inspo from. Imho.

I’d say, not really? But yes at the same time? I don’t know, yes? Probably?…I never knew about this whole “KA” debacle until about a week or two ago. I considered Kenny to be a pretty good friend that I fell out of touch with, along with quite a few other friends  in the industry after I forfeited my skateboarding career.. I thought  I had been around him enough to get a good read on who he was/is and he always seemed like a great dude, his personality is a lot like Matt beach’s actually.. but then there’s the whole sexual abuse allegations that are more than just hearsay and 
seem to be pretty damning due to the vistim’s statement and his lack of an apology (or a terrible attempt at an apology)..it’s hard to put aside the fact that KA was super nice to me and helped me out quite a bit during the time that we were on converse together.. I guess I would just like to see him take responsibility for his actions, but it sounds like that will never happen… so, it’s a tough one because You think you know a person and then you find out you really don’t..

I do recall Richard angellides and chany telling me a story where Kenny was at a party with them in Encinitas and one of them spiked his drink with alcohol (this was back in the late 90’s and Kenny wasn’t a drinker) and when Kenny found out they spiked his drink he went bat shit crazy on them, trying to fight  both of them. That’s my vague recollection of the story they told me.

 but that story kind of makes sense now...

Quasi/Cons never officially denounced Alcohol Davidson either…Honestly surprised that didn’t turn into him drunkenly dissing everyone on Instagram. they must have given him a nice severance. I don’t think the dude even skated once while on quasi except maybe that time con’s sent every poc rider they had to hang out with Jason Jesse when they thought they could still salvage that. I don’t remember if he skated or just chased chickens on a small motorcycle tho

if he still pretends to skate he’ll end up back on habitat/nu metal with Steve Durante for all I know.
