Caruma is being pushed by berra, so by extension it is a vehicle for scientology

I will never support berro or scientology, so I hate Carmua

I don't give a single fuck about them sponsoring Influencers that's great, whatever. Other companies are doing the same nowadays.  Fuck supporting scientology or anything with a connection to it though. Not to mention how bullshit their for the environment schtick was

Those shoes look like some target bullshit. Company legitimacy aside, the product is weak.

I saw my first pair in the wild the other day, I asked the kid if they were any good. The kid told me that they skated okay, but when he bought them he thought they were on sale, ordered them online and they only sent him one shoe. He had to go back and order the left shoe separately. turns out the "sale" was that you only buy one shoe

Cariuma's marketing department loves starting threads about how much we hate Cariuma's marketing department.

Over the top and in your face advertising is flat out annoying to me. Combining the fact they're a vessel for scientology and attracting youth for their psychotic cult, then fuck Cariuma. If that wasn't the case tho I wouldn't care at all. If you're a solid skater and entertaining as well then you should get paid to do what you love.

They are a business and they are just as profit driven as anybody else. These dudes are out here fucking paying skaters, allowing them to skate and put out footy and you actually have a gripe with that?  Yeah they sponsor influencers or whatever, but that is a necessary evil in the current climate of marketing.

I saw some kid on reddit say that skate videos are dead tik tok and insta are it, and the views speak for themselves. I don't watch 15s vids of skating cause I'm a full parts and rough cuts kinda guy, but the views are pretty nuts. Saw this kid bag a mil on a tre he didnt even land (but came close as fuck) as evidence of tik tok being it rn.

Point being if you actually hate cariuma for getting involved in skating and bringing attention to more guys who have potential (not saying they're all good) you are, in my eyes, a selfish fuck who's holding on too hard to he past.

Light me up fuckers.

The truth is they aren't though so what is your point?

Thought this couldn’t be, but it’s real. Holy shit, imagina paying 50$ for 1 Cariuma shoe…

Hey Steve,

Stop wasting your time here. Cariuma is Dog Shit and so is everything you touch. You are skateboardings biggest scammer dating all the way back to your little berrics unified scheme. Also my dude, I heard around the way that you used to hook up with underaged girls on tours 🤭. Go away.. Skateboarding doesn't need you.

Newbies shouldn't be able to start threads, let alone about Carruba.
The '80s were the worst period. You had these horrible pop bands growing their hair and calling themselves metal.

Holy fucking shit these things are £89 without shipping. I was expecting price point shoes or at least below 70. Back to the TK Max clearance sale rack for me.

If this doesn't help OP understand I don't know what will. Imagine playing 50 bucks for a single vulc shoe, lol. Do they plant half of a tree when you buy one?

as much as i want to shit on the yuma, offering a single shoe is actually a pretty great idea for their target demo who are trying to learn kickflips and dont skate switch at all

the thing is once i got decent at skating i would end up blowing out the soles and not just the ollie area on the left foot... also most skaters tend to step their switch game up so its a pretty niche thing to target, we'll see how it pans out

i personally just dont like the way that they came into the game, basically shoved it down my throat. its not a good look to me. the shoes dont do anything for me and they have not put out any content that i care about. the skaters they have put on seem to be the ones no one else wanted that had talent but no real likeability off the board and not good models to sell clothing / shoes either. i alsmot feel like they should market themsleves as like a lower tier athletic company like a cheap version of under armor/asics or something they just specialize in skateboarding because they have zero fashion appeal which is typically why people buy skate shoes (its not cause of the technology lmao)

This, when i was growing up your friends all had different shoes/trucks/decks. Its jaring watching everyone of these kids slap these shoes on under the guise of environmentalism. Id rather see kids in Nikes and Addidas

Its so fucked these kids dont even know its fucked.

I can appreciate that his first post is about how unpleasant it would be to eat Jaws’ shit though. Even better if it’s Berra’s burner lol.

If they spent half as much on product development as they do on marketing we wouldn't be having this discussion. Their shoes (and logo) look like shit. Honestly don't have to go any further than that.
