Why? So 15 people could buy it? You may think he deserves it. But there really isn't a market for a creager shoe. He isn't relevant to little kids who are what skate companies market to.

Lakai, because Creager isn't getting a shoe. And, well, apparently you.

The concept of profit seems completely foreign to you.
I'm no expert but imagine you spent 1000 dollars to make 10 things and sold those 10 things for 200 dollars each. You also never bothered to check if anything needed or wanted a dildo shaped like your dick. Those dildos did not sell, except for one, your mom bought it too be nice, and you lost 800 dollars.
Thats essentially what would happen if any company gave creager a shoe.

stoops. any company or shop for that matter can sell whatever they want. its all in how you market a product. if your favorite company or skater says "so and so shoe's the best" your probably going to buy it especially if your an impressionable teenage kid... i used to work at a skateshop and i could sell anything i wanted to. the concept of marketing seems completely foreign to you.

*i could care less if creager is on adio or lakai. i'm just stoked the dude is getting paid.

you guys are marketing fucking geniuses. first of all, if people buy a huff dvs shoe, theyre going to buy a creager lakai shoe. Im sure lakai has reasons not to hire him, but I think they should out of principle. second, i dont give a shit about what johnny dumbass thinks is cool and wants to buy. Skateboarders weren't always millionaires and should have some more love for the culture than simply having a bottom line.
