Bobs burgers and hello kitty collabos, turning your brand into a billboard for someone elses work in general

for real. it didn’t surprise me a company used bobs burgers, it just surprised me it was habitat. 🤦🏼‍♂️
This has me cracking up, what exactly does Black Flag have to do with measuring your dick starting behind ya nuts?

Skateboarding is nothing but a game to find the right fits to appear like you're a proportional human being instead of a midget or a giant.

Seriously though, THIS homey should be on AmaPiano’s payroll! Speaking of AmaPiano; who’s on their team? Who’s going pro next?!?

AmaPiano Skateboards, the newest deck taking South Africa by storm.

WKND not acting like a real brand and letting Austyn leave. Without him now Johan is the face of the company and I just can't have that.

I understand it’s hard to get music rights but some of the songs on Death Dance didn’t do it for me. Replay value isn’t there and I love WKND.

I really thought he had a collection of real Doritos.

This guy is the worst.
The '80s were the worst period. You had these horrible pop bands growing their hair and calling themselves metal.

Huf stopping shoes. Not sure if they switched up factories on the last run but whatever manufacturer made the last batch of hupper 2 hi nailed it

I'm with this. Obviously I can't speak to the financials behind it, but they were the only 'core' skate shoe brand who consistently made shoes I actually liked over the past 10-ish years. And they made smart team decisions - they didn't have a huge team or a lot of A-list names, but they showcased guys that were cool and interesting that contributed to their vibe, and that now seem to just be in pro-flow limbo on other brands.

Can't believe whatever vulture capital firm owned them chose Huf as the skate shoe brand to cut, and not Lakai. Maybe Lakai was selling way more shoes than Huf, but I have no idea how. I don't remember the last Lakai team rider or shoe model that I cared about.

why?

Just to diversify from where they are currently. Like back when they had Gino, keenan, Stevie from the East to blend in with the West coast dudes.
flat spotted 3 times in 2 weeks, other than that awesome wheels

While I do miss the east coast presence on Chocolate. I feel all those guys were living in Cali when they got on, except Stevie who may have peaced back to Philly from SF by that time. Also the case for SJ and Marc who grew up in DC and North Carolina. Same with the guys who grew up on the east coast (or nearby areas) who got on Girl back in the day. I could be wrong, but it seems almost all of Gino/Keenans shared Mouse footage is Cali stuff. Same with the Blind/101 stuff they had just prior to joining in Trilogy and 20 Shot Sequence. Later on Gino moved back and it was mostly east coast stuff in Chocolate Tour and Yeah Right. Only east coast guy on Crail who seemed to never move out West was Pops who got on through being on Lakai.

Yeah they didn't have a whole lot of east coast footage but the style they skated was different than Gabriel or Richard.

I seriously hate Castrucci now for how he's run that brand into the ground. If you would've told me back in the day when I was watching Mosaic that this same brand would do collabs with NASA, Bob's Burgers, and Twin Peaks, I would've slapped you.
I’m a ghost that everyone can see.

Emerica not having some decent flagship color ways of the wino G6 slip on. Have black and gum that’s always available or like the Leabres blue and black one from a few seasons back. I can’t imagine red, peach, mint, or other frat boy colors sell very well. Make it a classic like the Accel with consistent color ways.

Nothing Emerica will make in 2020 will be a 'classic'.
