After designing shoes for the better part of the last 16 years, and really thinking my future was headed toward a position in shoe design, the next opportunity to design one still hasn't presented itself – at least, not yet.
I just recently revisited the spot in San Diego that I ollied in the opening section of my video part in the Color video. I knew it was pretty far, and had measured it by walking it off with my feet, and guessed it was somewhere in the 19-and-a-half foot range. Well, this time I actually had a tape measure with me and was able to confirm that not only is it in the 19-and-a-half foot range, but judging by where I landed in the footage, it may really be the first documented 20-plus foot ollie. Still pretty incredible that it was even possible back then, especially when you consider the 39 to 40mm wheels. Crazy.
A few designers I think are hitting it right on the head design-wise are Benny Gold, Bohnam, Loser Machine, Dark Seas and Shepard Fairey, to name a few.
For someone w.no signature ur awfully hostile, & that is why I do this

[close]I'm very, very confident that while I'm a fan of some of his previous work, I really don't need to see any more of Jeremy's work if he is going to try and use Benny fucking Gold and Loser Machine as inspiration.

Jeremy Wray was one of the gnarliest skaters ever. I can't help but believe there's something weird/difficult/mysteriously unappealing about working with him though. Nobody who charged as hard as him has been so left out to dry by so many sponsors. He's like Markovich, but I don't know what his secret downside is.

Also his second Adio pro model sold a zillion pair because they fit perfectly into the early 00’s frat boy puffball craze, not because he’s a brilliant designer.

Looking at some Wray Bro stuff, it falls in line with who he likes. Basic hipster graphic designs, and while some stuff almost looks cool it comes off corny. I guess he wants to be in that Loser Machine/Benny Gold market.
