Jamie Thomas's new shoe company?

[Kook Me Amadeus]

“Leap”

“Faith”

“Leap of Faith”

All better names, honestly.  Guessing his audience is largely digital, THPS-depth.  He can scoop up the highly suggestible Cariuma crowd who want some more edge in their alt-Vans shoe.

Loool read the caption.

The tone of that caption was strange in that it seemed like he wanted to be relatable but also like he was hoping some potential investors would read it.

Having said that, the pants don’t look bad.

[moonordie]

All of this seems like a terrible idea, having heavy Threat vibes.

ISUCK (Jamie), what are you doing describing your fit on what should have been a proper IG skate clip? (still impressed by your skating)

Who is looking at that baggy fit like, "yes, for only $200, I too can look like most generic skaters or the first two things I saw at Ross."

Throw those type of things to someone like Karl Berglind ffs

[Southernmost]

I love how many people in the comments are asking for puffy Fallen style shoes and he's just like "nah". Respect him making the shoes that he wants to make, but maybe a good indication with how well this will do with your fanbase.

I was thinking the same thing. This is like a Straye 2.0 minus the logo and flames. Not trying to hate, I just don’t see the need for another generic style shoe company.

Uhhh Jamie is a true OG….why doesn’t slap support him in anything??? Take this L slap pals

He replied in the comments that he was going to be making “…footwear, apparel, skateboards, accessories & whatever else I come up with”, and I lost all hope.
Now I’m wondering what this company is even supposed to be.

[Buttworm]

Jamie need to take a day off

[Watson]

Was gonna say he should use this as a logo:



Then after I made that shitty thing I realized it's basically the Weezer logo.

So yeah, he should use that for Warsaw.

But is this even profitable?

There seems to very little movement / info on this Warsaw venture of his. Googling just brings up some announcement articles.

A year or so ago I bought two pairs of Straye converse rip-offs (plain black) and while they were comfortable and looked nice (for a week or two) they were clearly so cheaply made - the “double wrapped foxing tap” split on one pair then grew into a large rip. The second pair the suede just ripped along the side after walking in them for a couple of months.

I mean the shoes were £21/22 a pair, sure, but that was a sale price. I just checked their website and they are wanting £80 for some new low-top things with puffy tongues.

I wanted to support them, what with them seeming to have a legitimate team but my goodness they were awful shoes.

Maybe War Saw will be different , probably not.

He's busy sweeping his buddy's domestic violence under the rug.

Good point.
Maybe he should get a tattoo to commemorate that as well.

Given the RRP of their cheap and awful shoes, probably:
https://straye.com/collections/footwear


£86 (not inc. delivery) for their latest models.

Lmao the fallen logo is basically a rip of the Van Halen logo, which basically is what weezer was ripping off, so yes it would be full circle if the chief ripped off weezer

[Buttworm]

Imagine still trying to stretch this far into the industry with Fallen 2.0 when you’ve had a run this far… see if LRAB fit or try ASICS maybe

Also a rip off of the Platinum Skateboards logo

[ok boomer]

Would support if it was called any of the following:
Rad Kix
Hot Hooves
Skeet Feet

[Plan9Customs]

Just wear these War Saws filled with yogurt. Come on, don’t make it weird.

[Plan9Customs]

Guess he should’ve gone with Skeet Feet as @ok boomer said.

[Lou Strux]

Was this just gonna be a 2nd product line from Straye, w/ Jamie making aesthetic decisions, or… ?

That’s exactly what I thought as well. Has iSuck been lurking? In his IG bio and on Warsaws it says August 2024 debut.

[Sila]

From what you can see in the IG clips, everything looks pretty tasteful honestly.

[theloniousmonk]

everyone on zero is gnarly as fuck. And there is a culture of people killing themselves for the videos.

Have these efforts gotten anyone anywhere in the last 10 years? Is Gabbers paid by Adidas? Anybody else got a good shoe deal?

[manuduncan]

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

I’d rather buy my own shoes than be sponsored by fallen and straye

agreed. those pants he's wearing in look pretty damn good actually.
