There's no way Sole Tech is around much longer.
I never see eS or Etnies in the wild. See barely any Emerica. Sucks, they were so big in my formative years- especially eS and Emerica. Those teams (eS - Koston,McCrank,Ladd,Penny,Saari,P Rod, Rodrigo TX ; Emerica - Reynolds, Kirchart, Templeton, Herman, Spanky, Suski, Townend, Ellington) were so stacked and the videos (Menikmati and This is Skateboarding) were heavy. I loved Accels back in the day, and the Reynolds series has been legendary.
Jerry Hsu's departure is just another sign of the impending doom.
