Because of the pandemic & other missteps I think it can make a solid impression this time around, they already have been one of the best teams in skateboarding

Would rather see Kareem on Palace, dripped in their clothes, filming low impact lines and flips on transition
If you see offensive comments, just let it go into one eye and let it out of the other eye, no tears and not sadness or anger.

I don't think any skate board brand has really successfully re-launched. The closest is Alien and Plan B.

I think there would be a viable market for re-issuing classics from brands like 101, Mad Circle, and New Deal with high-quality silkscreen simply for people who wanted wall hangers. But, re-launching brands from the dead with a new team rarely works out. Most of these brands died or lost relevancy for a reason.

New Deal does reissues with silk screened graphics ($10 more than heat transfer) and the boards are made at PS Stix. I have an Andrew Morrison reissue and the concave is a little steeper than I like, but overall it's a really great board.

I wish Kareem could just figure out a way to get the old Menace logo on some boards, some tees, buckets and snap backs, etc. and sell those which I'd welcome with open arms. But I'm not too picky as to whatever way I get Kareem clips these days. I hope he puts his skating out there again.

There was something about a menace reboot last year, probably got killed off by corona

Kareem already tarnished his rep by filling this Axion relaunch with horrible team picks. It's a shame. If he hadn't done it I'd still be thinking of Trilogy era when I think Kareem. Now when I hear his name I think stupid looking tight jeans with loads of weird patches/distressing, and Micky Papa. Ruined. Relaunching City Stars with a similar cast can only hurt his rep more.

I'm pretty sure he came on a few weeks after the initial launch. Someone help me out on that. And I don't even think they have a team right now. That didn't last long. At all. He should be like AO and )focus on City Stars) as a one man band. We don't want a team. We want Kareem. Same with Muska and others. At least for me.

Kareem did not pick the initial team nor did he initiate this relaunch in any way. Kareem was brought on way after the wheels had been set in motion to relaunch Axion. Skaters were already being contacted/selected to represent the brand before Kareem was even officially involved with the brand again.

I was thinking the same. I unfortunately missed the Menace era so I’d love to be around for a revival

Nick Tucker. Motherfucker.

Kareem should have bought the Menace name when it got sold to whoever when Smolik quit SM to ride for it.
I can only presume whoever bought it had more liquid cash than Kareem.
What a pity.

What would be the next logical evolution of the name?

It went Menace, All City, All City Stars, City Stars.

Can someone buy the rights to the City Stars name to see what he comes up with?

Wait, Kareem Campbell already quit the podcast game?  ??? There was a lot of potential there if he'd just get rid of that other dude and get an energetic Kelly Hart-ish sidekick instead.

Don’t worry there should be at least another 4 reboots of it coming in the future

Kareem having no part in the Menace Epicly Laterd was the dumbest move he could've made.
