Shit, was just starting to feel like my Emerica stuff was cool again since so few people seem to like them anymore.  This could potentially tip them into the irredeemably wack category again.

Had to look up his Instagram to know who he was and I still don’t because his name isn’t on it, but he also posted about leaving Emerica a few months ago. “Forever grateful. Thank you Emerica.”

Emerica still running with the Jon Miner green aesthetic is weird.
Do you get deja vu, huh?

It's Jordan Powell. My guess is he just was expecting back pay for a colorway or something.

It was meant for latch-key kids and delinquents.  That’s what made it cool.

I’m on board for another purge of the skateboard industry. Pun intended. When Scientologists and the far right are trying to use skateboarding as a means to recruit kids it’s time to go dark. I’ll take getting harassed by security guards and civilians again over this weird place we’ve ended up.

Got that cover framed and hanging in my toilet. A nice reminder of what skateboarding once was. I was a full skate rat in 93 and it meant something. Seeing that cover was like "WTF? Oh well..."

Damn it’s almost like everything I’ve said publicly for the last 11 years about Sole Tech since I left is finally starting to come to light … love to see it. That organization has been treating skaters and staff like shit for ages.

I was so confused when I got this in the mail.  I thought skating in 1993 was great.  Everything felt so cool and new, i was having the time of my life

When the new TM said they were going to keep the green tint aesthetic because it’s their brand identity I knew this brand was gone.

They do, if they have a contract and he hasn’t voided it by not fulfilling it on his end
