^I dunno. In that 10 years of Marana it says designed by Shecks. It also says the same here. We might have another Dave Mayhew situation.

Thank you for the reassurance. I'll buy 20 pair of Maranas, all black, if they go out of production :)

Maybe I'll even get some red ones to pay homage to The Skekcler.

the Marana and Joslin are (tied for placement) are in the top 10 modern shoes for quality/performance.

I only skate Marana, because they fit my feet perfectly and last for long. Will they stop making Maranas if Sheckler is of?
[close]

No. It's their best selling shoe alongside the Joslin. It's unlikely they'd can the design if Shecks left. If you like the Marana, the Joslin is a great alternative if you haven't tried it yet.

Technically, the Marana has always been and always will be a Sheckler pro shoe. @TwisT you're incorrect about them "quickly taking the name off."

Sheckler launched that as his pro shoe in 2013 or 2014 and agreed to make it a "team/pro" shoe with Etnies. His name was never "branded and then taken off" like you said. He was the face/marketer of the shoe from the get-go, outside of Chris Joslin, so Sheckler & Etnies chose to market it that way from the jump.

Basically, it's his shoe, he designed it, etc., so he (I would assume) gets some amount of royalties from Marana sales, regardless of whether it's a Sheckler colorway or not.

You might be right on the Mayhew.
I'm sure there was something, somewhere on him not designing but your links say otherwise.

Every pro designs their pro model shoes from start to finish.  ;)
And every pro skates the same shape/wood that their graphic is printed on.
For someone w.no signature ur awfully hostile, & that is why I do this

I'm not meatriding Sheckler with this, but someone as talented and connected as him to his skateboard, I doubt he had zero to do with the design. Was he Reynolds level involved? Don't think he went that far.

Interviews over the years have shown him describing features he wanted in his various shoes to meet his demands for skating impact but needing board feel, etc. Same thing with Ishod for his 2 pro models. Could that just be marketing in the interview clips we've seen? Sure, I'm not gonna rule that out either.

I’d like to redirect this conversation to focus on this. Imagine building a private park to warm and skate at by yourself and making every single obstacle something you can actually die skating.

Sheckler’s been wearing Etnies since he was, what, twelve? Would he even know what to wear if he got the boot?

I thought about it but I felt I wasn't the one to make the call. Glad you came through.
Sir, I'm going to politely, but firmly, ask you and your common sense to leave this establishment.

Yeah, but “Aurelien G” is missing from that stack too and I’m pretty sure he’s still on.

 Nicks is the second box on the left that says Nick g . Id imagine Barney and Aurelian get their boxes out of the euro distro.


That shecks park was so wild . He skated it so well too it made no sense. It’s such a peak xgames style park. Just giant shit to fly out of to impress large crowds.

That’s just the snake and the Calicut though, if skeck wears Marana then they wouldn’t be in that stack right?

Correct. Skeksi doesn’t need to fuqwit anything but the Maranara sauce.

I thought that too but then Chris J is in there and he has a signture range, right. Surely Joslin only skates Joslins? Why give him anything else?

edit: And Nassim is in the stack so that "get if from the euro distro" might not be a thing.

No, he didn't.

It was originally supposed to be shecklers pro shoe and was heavily under wraps until it got leaked on Insta. Pierre saw the photo of the shoe, saw the potential and basically demanded it be made a team shoe instead.

Didn't think it would be a non-skate brand. His agent? must of worked a great deal to convince him go that route. Oh well. Get that money? Sellout?
