Sold it for 4 million, got the boot from his own company. Something about Coke and Tradeshows maybe. Maybe not. What does he care? He's now a millionaire and a bunch of sick skaters are without shoe sponsors and paychecks.

I'm sure he beleives in karma; he's a hippy.

Who really cares about Matt Field anyway? He's the definition of milking it in my book.

Pretty strong words hombre, but I agree.  Add Nate Jones to the list.  I don't think he should have gotten a pro shoe.

I seriously can't believe this guy is a millionaire. He left so many skaters from the old I-path team out to dry. lame.

Matt Field was just a president he didn't own I-path.  It was owned by some rich hippies.  I'm sure he got some money out of the Timberland deal and quit.  Press release for Bob B. is up at ipath.com

Ipath was owned by an entertainment attorney from jump, Matt just had some equity in the comp....and he got kicked off!!
And he's NOT a millionaire.

my friend saw him walking down Market St. wearing Supras.

This was a long while ago, though.

Grasshopers were sick. At least I'll always have Vans.

i think the Cats were originally suppose to be released as Rodriguez's pro model but Ipath instead released them as the Cats and didnt give Matt any of the residuals (something like that)
