IPath is still selling a shoe with Matt's name?
« on: April 02, 2008, 01:18:19 PM »
I was just browsing the IPath site and was shocked to see they are still selling a Field shoe. Whether they are selling it as Matt's shoe or not might be arguable, but sounds like very misleading marketing to me.
You have me mistaken with someone that is important.

Yes, I'm gay. What of it?

Ironic considering that apparently they were supposed to put somebody's name on the grasshopper and didn't.

I think they realized that Bob's name on that shoe would kill its sales.

Wasn't it originally supposed to be one of the Matts' pro model? Then it tested well or something and they decided to call it the grasshopper. Jim Greco talked about it in the transworld interview where he ollies off of the carwash thing that Cardiel hit years earlier.

Yeah that sounds right. Greco said "Then when it came out looking all good they decided to call it 'The Cat'." Or something like that, give or take a word or two. Pretty low, IPath.

Matt's pro model was always ridiculously priced at like 95 dollars and above. Minus that fact, the shoe was tight. Matt, not so much.

I agree SinchDick. It's a real shame too cause I'd love to wear a legit Gall shoe but it just won't happen.

Grasshopper- Matt Pailes
Cat - Matt Rodriquez

I Path fucked both of these dudes over in terms of sales by no putting their name on the shoes like they where suppossed to. If I found some of the hemp Gall's on sale for really cheap I would buy them otherwise they can fuck right off.

those were two of IPath's best shoes, and the ones i saw people wearing the most in public. The Matt's got screwed out of a fuckload of money.
