2021 unpopular opinion thread

[LebowskisRug]

I hate when people say "I don't get/understand" about skate products. What is there to get? It's shoes or whatever. Some people like plain ones others like not so plain ones its not like any of these products are trying to be revolutionary just buy what you like and stop spending time trying to bring everything else down.

Vans Wayvees are hideous and a slippery slope back to the ultra-tech wannabe DC and dorky dad Vans of the late 90’s-early 00’s.

? why not? it's the first skater-owned shoe company in who knows how long that actually seems really cool; great team, design, and overall aesthetic. shouldn't everyone be hyped on a skater-owned company that's doing well?

I for one welcome the slippery slope back to the Monk ii.
I also like LARB too so what the hell do I know?

To piggyback on this unpopular opinion the first last resorts looked so much better. I think before the Pontus designed ones. Could of possibly been a dunk rival instead of a rival for thin vulc shoes people can already get cheaper and easier

Bro…you can’t tell the Euro cats their shits overpriced it’s “CraFtsManShIP” and “QuALiTy”. They “CaRE”.

(Not a shot at polar just all the wack cats overcharging for shit; kys please)(<- That might be against some rule so no one actually go kill them selves; Thank you)

I decided I don’t want to post this, but reading over it i feel like I have to share this stream of consciousness .

are you incredibly stupid or dont you realize that american stuff in europe cost us as much as European stuff costs you? I dont think anyone can be that stupid.

Hop off my
COCK
^its big

Also, no. I had no clue about how things get more expensive when they are imported.

You can bring up any further personal issues you have with me in my PM’s. I thank you for being mature.

(Sorry to the rest of slap, my nuts just sorta fell out on this guys forehead I didn’t mean for it to be such a graphic dragging)

[Hinna]

I believe State Footwear is also skater owned. Maybe not by a pro skater but a skater nonetheless. It's the guy that did Dekline with help from the guy from Habitat, and guy from Static videos.

So many skaters think of running a skate shop or brand like a philanthropic endeavour, but it's not. There are better ways to "give back" to skateboarding. Example: https://www.thrashermagazine.com/articles/how-to-start-a-skate-nonprofit/

Renyolds is bringing all this back, Fairlane ect.. all a plot to bring down Vans from the inside. woah.

People should be more annoying about wheelbase and board shape at shops because we know they hate it

[EdLawndale]

I'm not a big fan of Polar

[Dwyck]

It's annoying Polar has only put out one IG part for one rider and photos since covid started, unless I missed something

With few exceptions skate clothing is terribly made.

stranger things was such a cringe show

in the past i have expressed how i thought the plot really wasn't going anywhere and the show felt sort of manufactured to just combine various plot elements to make viewers feel nostalgic, although i noted that i still thought it was OK, and i was treated like i was some sort of freak

That's kind of Netflix as a whole. Have a sort of interesting idea for a short story/ something that could be an episode of a show like twilight zone fuck it make a two hour movie. Have an interesting idea for a movie fuck it make a whole series. As long as the first and third episodes are good enough who cares how much the shit drags on.

same. it's not bad/all right

[STAH]

FA will never be as cool as Toy Machine.

[Lisa96]

most Girl videos aren't great because they're too polished, having Spike and Ty on your squad may not be great for making the raw videos we all love.

True.

That being said, screw you Diego Najera for getting in everyone’s way the last weekend of Love Park 5 years ago. I hope you step in a small puddle every time you walk around the house with socks on.

Big Agree. I will say Former makes some quality stuff though. Had a Krooked and a habitat windbreaker both were pretty terrible.

White knighting Suicu doesn’t make you an Intelectual.

Also, it’s about how he carries himself not how he got a degree.
