They kept the interview pretty clean and positive which was cool, but I wonder why they stayed clear of mentioning Matt R and Bigfoot when it came to the original brand and logo... Also why no mention on Matt Pailes.

hoping there is going to be some good Ben Raybourn footage in the upcoming future.   

Where is Kenny Reed living these days...he was one of the first skaters I heard of going to palestine back in the day.

Matt R and Matt P had the reggae vibes on lock,  they both were the reason I supported Ipath for so long.   I bought supernaut boards and skated Ipaths soo much back then because of those dudes

Kenny remindes me of a true minimalist in lifestyle and always respected his skating and method of sharing skateboarding, he was probably my 4-5th fav Ipath rider back then

For real. I did the longest manual of my life on a supernaut deck. Urban Canvas was a blessing lol 2002 was fun. I was wearing hemp cats, a krooked hoodie, skating supernaut, and smoking those kind buds

He was working with the thailand skate team for the olimpics, i think.

FREE PALESTINE btw !
And LEBANON HAS THE RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF !
FUCK ZIONISM, FUCK COLONIALISM AND FUCK WHITE SUPREMACIST!

Ps: Thailand was never colonized. Ever. Sick country.
Vietnam is cooler to visit tho.

I’m really digging this pic of raybourn:

[lucid beauty]

they cant mention matt and bigfoot because they (and you dudes by association) are in the process of straight robbing them hahaha. they aint gonna say big ups to the dudes who came up with all of it, thanks for letting us ca$h out

I think they can...but didn't in order to keep things positive, I mean its not like Jenkem is the Nice club.  Also think that was why Kenny said he was joking about the logo inspiration. 

There isn't anything legally tying the Matt and Bigfoot to the brand anymore so they could have brought them up but there was a strong avoidance to mention them in any capacity which was weird.  We all know Matt R is starting a different shoe company and is why he cant be involved but I think bigfoot thinks they are going down the Timbaland route and still thinks its VC backed.

By the way Im thinking of ordering some decks from bigfoots store

Ben is one of the GOATs. Always a standout. I'm happy he seems stoked the whole "pro" skater thing again. Hopefully, we get one more part out of him.

Good look on that link. Those are sick

[Mongo Lloyd]

Just got a shipping notification for my order with the delisted models. Let’s see how this turns out.

Also, thanks for linking that Bigfootone link. I never knew he ran his own web shop. That’s tight.

I looked at the black Grasshoppers over the weekend and was not impressed.  I remember them being such quality but maybe thats nostalgia.

That Ben clip should be in the Crazy IG clips thread.

[Mongo Lloyd]

They’ve definitely slimmed down, and the main differences design wise are the lack of perforation in the top portion of the foot. The leather does seem a bit thinner (it’s been 20 years for me on the OG’s, so I can’t speak with absolute certainty).

I will say that I do remember the OG’s lasting me a month with having worn through the toe and sole, where as I broke through the toe very quickly on the newer versions.

What era do you remember them being that quality, I remember buying them in 2006 and noticed the quality drop off significantly around 2009 I stopped buying Ipaths because every shoe I got would either give me heel bruises or the toe cap and threading would rip through after a couple weeks

I like the new ones, they did some things like slimming down the bulkiness slightly which I am okay with.  Also am nostalgic for the pairs I got in 99-00 but don't really care if the architecture is identical as skate shoe tech has greatly expanded as well as manufacturing

What shoe was it? About to pull the trigger on the 1985s

The navy/white and the Rasta grasshoppers.

What colorway are you thinking for the 1985’s? The suede options for each shoe seems like it’ll be the most durable (as another poster mentioned previously). Something to keep in mind.

I want to say 2005.

I just got a pair of blue NOS 1985s in size 10. Will sell as the puffy-ness is beyond my current preference.

Nice post pics when they arrive regardless hah and the white ones is what I'm thinking, majority gunna buy up the black suede I feel

[Tiltmode Army Reservist]

The Reed Mids showed up at No Comply today. I bought a pair, and they're spectacular. They look great, fit true to size, and the tongue is reasonably padded (I saw that thread about Half Cab Tongues too). I might put a second insole underneath the stock insole, but that's because I'm older and fatter. But I have been pleasantly surprised with the stock iPath insoles, and how they're softer than what we usually get in skate shoes. Also, the Reed Mid has a flat insole (unlike those big fucking foam triangles you get in a pair of Vans) with a cork top.

[Allen.]

Just got reed mids as well. So far I’m stoked.

[Rick Trapasso]

Anyone totally burned through a pair of cats yet? The grooved truck guy in me wants to see this.

[dumptruck12]

Over all I think the shoes came out better than I thought, they fit pretty true to size and the material is great, cats fit my foot great, the grasshoppers are great! And I’m waiting on my reeds in the mail, Ipath reboot is a success

Never care much about iPath. But this sentence makes me happy

[prof_oak]

And they should put Bob back on.

[Shiro417gunpla]

Damn good run kickfliping these puppies everyday, gonna hit it with the shoe goo tonight. The suede is super thick seeing it all unravel
