Jamie Thomas's new shoe company?

[Ninj2]

No way in hell I’m trusting some dude that Ollied the gonz barefoot and dresses like that about shoes.

Their newest Brazilian skater is on new balance, and their Japanese skater kairi is on dc

On the note of Kairi and DC, I've noticed at least twice in Non US contests where Kairi is clearing wearing a Nike SB shirt but wearing Kalis vulcs. I mean no attempt to flip the logo tee inside out. Really wonder if DC isn't paying attention. I doubt Kairi is that naive to wear a shirt with a brand you're not sponsored by and yet he's done it more than once.

I believe for the Olympics that team Japan apparel is through Nike. I see Liz Akama wearing SB shirts and skating in ASICS. I don’t think they wear the Nike gear outside of the World Skate contests.

Lol. Yeah.
I don't remember him being involved with Dekline though, as someone else mentioned.

[DCLOVE]

Man said he picked the name Warsaw cause and I quote “ simply, I like the sound & the balance of the word itself. I also like the monochromatic & minimalistic vibe of the eastern bloc.”

What a fucking douchebag.

Massive one. Guy is like 100 and still has a imaginary friend, what you expect?

Jamie was involved with State? I had no idea. I rocked so many of their Mercers for years.

I don't think anyone was trying to say Jamie founded or was specifically involved in all of those companies, moreso that each of those brands are just reiterating on very similar business model/shoe designs.

Gotcha. He was involved with Straye in the beginning? Or am I misremembering

[work_lurker]

What are the chances Cole gets put on the team?

My memories of early straye was Jamie, Antwuan? and Braydon I think.

[slapcurbsnotwomen]

Can’t wait to try a pair once they hit clearance at my local shop

Bingo, I just tried to cram as many generic, top down vulc shoe brands that are virtually indistinguishable from one another.

Because Jamie has no creative bone left in his body

[Watson]

This shit is fucking gold.

"one more brand"

Jamie replied to a comment on that post saying he had shares in Straye, so if we count Straye as one of his shoe company endavours that's

Adio, Circa, Fallen, Straye, Warsaw

[EDGEDLRD]

Shocker. A Joy Division song and shoes that look like every other shoe! The king of cliché strikes again. But this time with Holocaust references!

[thecomfortsofmadness]

Any curiosity I might gain for this brand will be 100% based on who he puts on the team? If it’s just all zero riders, it will be a hard pass on curiosity.

Using D Gar (top 3 all time for me) as a model has them off to a good start though!

Black Box helped with NB# in some capacity as they were getting their feet

You could even add NB# to it.

From Black Box's wiki page,

Prior to its closure in 2014, it (Black Box Distro) distributed Zero Skateboards, Fallen Footwear, Slave, Threat, Destroyer, Mystery, and New Balance Numeric brands.

On top of some of the other brands mentioned, JT's hit/miss ratio is all fucked up.

[Southernmost]

Let’s not forget he was on Emerica briefly and had a pro model. And correct me if I’m wrong but they were supposed to reissue it a few years back and he canceled it.

No need to correct you.

It's crazy how strongly NB rebounded after their Black Box days.

I remember that Black Box collapsed quickly after their initial launch, so NB's first push with them was full of missteps and inconsistencies (inconsistent qualities, sizing missteps including people in here saying that shoes in the same pair were notably different sizes but labeled the same, etc.), then they went dark for what felt like a long time after such a big initial media blitz and push, only to come back completely revitalized seemingly out of nowhere.

[moonordie]

The "we have last resort ab at home" company that nobody asked for and tbh I'm looking forward to fail miserably because JT is a massive douche.
