sick skating, i just wish vans would stop masquerading around as a skateboard company and name their competitions something like "the annual boat shoe maybelline invitational". i feel bad for you poor suckers who buy their shoes only to have holes in the sole and sides 3 days later and a sore lower back.
Wait. This coming from a guy who just yesterday wrote a paragraph based around this statement (direct quote):
"Nike is great for skateboarding" then goes on to attack brands that were built around skateboarding. The jist being that Nike putting some money into skateboarding gives them a free pass as a non-skate focused brand infiltrating a potentially profitable market.
I'm not making an argument either way, I own, have owned, and at some point will buy both Vans and Nike SB in the future, and there's grounds to criticize both companies, but your blatantly conflicting rhetoric is mind-boggling. Either your loyalty to the swoosh is so deep that you're blind to reality or you just get off on seeking out opportunities to anonymously insult people on the internet so much that you don't care if there's any credibility to the garbage you shit out of your mouth.
And "boat shoes," are you serious? Have you looked at braata, team edition, Janoski, etc? Better yet, the Nike Post Harbour?
At the end of the day, they're shoes. You can buy them or you can choose not to for whatever reason but its more respectable to admit that you do something that goes against your ideals than it is to find bullshit excuses to justify your hypocrisy.
