Axion footwear

[paraquat]

Why not just start a new brand? The 2nd incarnation wasn’t that bad. Maldonado, Kevin Taylor, Kyle Nicholson. They should just let it die.

[Level 60 Dwarf Rogue]

I only had the white leather Mariano’s, and they weren’t the best. Remember them being VERY stiff

[lk130]

My Axion team would be Stevie W. that Antiferg guy who skates in Timberlands, Sierra Fellers, Tk, someone on Mystery, Dominic Walker, Carlos Vega, Windsor James

[MusclesMarinara]

Just saw the little teaser they have on their instagram, look more like vulcs and slip ones than actual axion shoes. Feel bad for anyone holding out hope for classic puffy shoes like the recent es reissues. This looks more like a axion in name only much like emerica nowadays.

No axion official, no buy

[veritas]

If you have to restart a brand for the third time that's probably a sign

[duniwayRobber]

Neva eva thought that official part would matter so much.

[lk130]

That ad isn't showing anything

this!
I want to believe but the odds are certainly stacked against them

[oyolar]

Perhaps this will be the triumphant return of Kyle nicholson...

I love Kyle Nicholson, but disagree with the ”triumphant return.” He’s been quietly killing it with Scumco for some time.

[Luddite]

Their instagram page makes the brand look like a combination of Straye and iDabble. I cant think of a more appalling duo

[dooley]

I'm still waiting on Osiris D4's.

[Kombuch-A-Holic]

 Nick Merlino is the new Guy Mariano.

Team is disgusting, Marketing is trash.  Launching with 3 white huckers and 0 diversity completely shits on everything that made Axion what it was. This brand needs to disappear already.

THIS
On 2020

I would buy Kyle Nicholson axion shoes if Kareem Campbell atleast pretended he was involved in the design/marketing

[Frank]

and kyle nicholson was on

[DISTANT RUMOURS]

I take back what I said

[Matthew_James]

All of the old brands that Kareem started have all been revamped without him, and they’ve all failed horribly. I’d love to see Axion return to its former glory, but we all know that isn’t happening. What I wanna know is who tf is funding these projects? Do people have so much money that they’re willing to throw it into guaranteed dumpster fire business ideas? Guy and Gino are Nike’d out at this point, same with BA, and Kareem isn’t a part of it so we’re guaranteed to get zero KCK reissues, so where’s the appeal? Throwing three skaters who’s names don’t sell many boards who all have an aesthetic that’s the antithesis of what Axion was isn’t exactly a marketing agent’s wet dream.

I skated lots of Axion’s way back when. The KCK’s, Millennium’s, KC 2000’s, and the Mariano’s with the rubber toe cap were all great shoes, and I’d 100% buy them if they stuck to retroing old models exclusively. And they have to be exactly as they were, no omitting air bags bc “bro it’s too expensive, bc business man.”

It has the airbag

[Cuban_Lynx]

Those look better than expected. I'll probably grab a pair when they're back on 6pm.com

It doesn’t, that’s a plastic decal. It’s supposed to make it look like it has an airbag, similar to what PayLess does with their shoe designs, it’s just hard plastic with zero shock absorption.

[Stu Pickles]

wont the mesh just rip away super fast?

They look better than I expected but Im still not a fan of these early 2000s styles

Axionsaid on its IG that an actual airbag

[Crap]

Real Wal Mart shoe aisle vibes on those Marianos.

[Mongoloid]

I expect this to go about as well as the Ghetto Child reboot.

[Deekay]

I take back what I said

The Payless Mariano

[DISTANT RUMOURS]

I still like em.

And it was confirmed twice there are actual air-bubbles in there. Not plastic.

Not sure of the toe cap is rubber though...

[offkilter]

Not going to lie, those actually do look pretty good. They could have saved themselves from getting roasted by everyone who saw that promo by just including a single shot of those.

[DA BIG BODY BENZ]

I think they look goofy, slimming down early 2000s shoes just looks regular. Lakai fucking blew it withthe carrols and now theyre blowing it with the guy reissue
