It's hard to pick exactly which Jamie Thomas thread to post this in, but let's go with this one. Dude is so creatively bankrupt, he's now just blatantly stealing the halloween graphic on egg-shaped deck thing from Fos (and this is the graphic Fos used last year, he updates it each year to be something different)

Zeros been running this graphic for at least 15+ years at this point, it’s not something new. We get it you don’t like Jamie Thomas but at least have some bare minimum knowledge of him and his brand before talking complete nonsense.

How many signed JT decks did you buy from his garage days website?? Did you get those zero chuck taylors he made?? How many stops did you attend on the zero x DGK tour? Do you own a pair of strayes? How many sets of black wheels have you skated over the years? What’s your thoughts on dipped boards? Did JT choose Cole’s clothes?? Have you ever met JT in real life? And did you address him as sir or general JT??? Do you own a misfits shirt?? How many times have you seen Jamie’s part in Chomp on this?? Do you put up the one more time finger when you’re filming clips?? And finally can you show us on the doll where JT touched you?

[close]

Lmao you caught a case of JT derangement syndrome. For not liking someone so much, you guys can’t ever seem to stop talking about him.

This isn’t about me muscle, I know I am guilty of putting a hankerCHEIF in my back pocket and doing cropdusted tre flips, now answer the fucking questions

I’ve bought my fair share of JT and adjacent gear over the years of course, check my post history in the shoes & gear thread if you care that much… JT is one of my favorites from growing up, I’ve never not made that obvious in any of my posts. Warsaw isn’t for me right now. I’m not super into anything that’s been released so far. Maybe down the line there might be something but I’m gonna hold off.

[Not_Bruce]

How is it possible that Jamie could put so much research into this project and end up with such uninspiring stuff ? On the high end, this stuff can’t touch Common Projects and if he is targeting skateboarders …..who would buy these over Last Resort ? Unless Jamie’s shoes get better , this seems like a delusional project. Why create a brand , when everything you are wanting to achieve …Last Resort is doing already ? Plus they have a sick team.

Nothing about Warsaw makes sense , particularly when a Jamie talked about all the effort he put into this brand during his Nine Club interview. Warsaw is going into the skateboard graveyard along with Diamond  and 88 Footwear in 12 months.

My perspective on this company: Don’t think of it as just a skate shoe brand.

This shoe is designed to monetize the entire shoe surface. In other words, it's about making money through collaborations and limited editions. In a way, it's like a billboard.

In this regard its brilliant. But wait until the 100th punk or metal band or every other cliché is printed all over the shoe. From that perspective, it's just lame.

With all respect: Selling rebellion, a typical Jamie Thomas brainchild.

There were also some.......subtle flags of that in their Relax video.



3:15 specifically but the whole video is worth watching. And listening to, obviously.

No metal eyelets because that costs like penny more.

Really though, I had no fucking clue and feel like I’ve had a huge revelation, I’ve seen people with bandannas in their back pocket but never knew there was a color code for sexual preferences, when Atiba first said something I was kinda confused, but yea, I feel like the chief would prolly be rocking an olive drab flag in his right pocket

Unlike Zero, these shoes have a cash value.

Think they go for what most other shoes go for, $100-120

Weird how you pick out the metal eyelets when one shoe is synthetic suede and synthetic leather and the other is cavas. I wonder which cost more??? Also there are metal eyelets if you actually look close, the top definitely has them. AND you realize that siloute has been around since at least the early 70’s if not sooner. Comparing Warsaw to last resort is the last resort of someone that just wants to hate on Jamie. It’s not like he’s hiding what you all keep pointing out.

Are they? You own a pair? Just the complete opposite of how they are being marketed. Common siloutes with better materials.  Guess you must me talking about the ones your comparing them to, because they are literally canvas.

I had three pairs of lrabs first run, and the soles went bald from just walking around. Can’t speak of their quality now, but you wanna talk about cheap feeling shoes, those certainly take the cake for me.

Jimbo Thomas’ last resort

This picture says it all. It makes Jamie's interview on the Nine Club seem distorted. In the interview, Jamie talked about all the effort he put into Warsaw. But in reality, it's a poor imitation of Last Resort. The $250,000 question for Jamie is.....why make a brand when everything you want to achieve Last Resort is doing better, and has a skate team. The only plausible scenario that comes to my mind is, that Jamie had nobody willing to tell him his ideas are unoriginal / poorly executed and that life is short and he should focus his energy on his family and zero.

[BeachChicken]

I think this highlights the issue brands face regardless of who runs them. LR is well marketed garbage with a likeable team. Opus and Warsaw are made better (having seen all in real life it's extremely obvious), but the marketing isn't there to justify the price or product. If either were being made by the brand that they are most aesthetically similar to no one would care.

Can't believe I have to explain this but Jamie want money. Jamie have to sell shoe to make money, Pontus don't give Jamie money.
