What companies are still doing what they have always done?

And which ones would be completely unrecognizable to their founding fathers?

i feel like both Powell and Toy Machine in 2022 look like what people in the 80s and 90s were used to.

Blind on the other hand doesn't even remotely seem like it could have come from the minds of those first five dudes back then.

Maybe not Powell so much as I think about it.

Limosine today is pretty much the same as day-one Limosine. That's just my opinion, tho.

Black Label has probably been the most consistent for the longest time.

World Industries, you can’t even call it a shell of its former self it is so far gone. They have a decent team but they still rely on Wet Willy and other McKee characters. I also saw they made some cheap skate shoes but I’m not sure if they still do.

Less B-roll but it seems natural now that they're not as huge degenerates.

Changed the most gotta be N.A.D.C, right?
It started out as a rub/seasoning and wound up being a concept.
What a time to be alive. Anything is possible.

I wanna play you in a game of SKATE for the right to continue talking shit on me.  You think you got me?

Numbers
Did Numbers just fizzle out? It's obviously dunzo but I don't remember seeing any official announcement from Guy or Eric about closing up shop, but maybe it was mentioned in Thrasher or something.
