Who owns them aside, the only thing that could save I-Path would be to throw out all of their shoe designs except for:
Cats,
Grasshoppers,
Crickets,
Yogi,
Reeds. (Sorry Gall... maybe this shoe can give half to Kenny, half to Freddy)
And stop making bullshit color combos. People want black on black leather grasshoppers, black with white stitches/white sole reeds, brown/gum yogis, black on black suede crickets, and some tan/gum hemp cats to chill in.
Oh, and who would you be chilling with in those cats? Not burnquist. Danny Renaud, Jack Sabback, Nate Jones circa 2001, Fred Gall, Kenny Reed. Fuck, get Joey Pepper on there and freshen it up just a little bit.
Man, I just miss I-Path. I haven't had a pair in ages. The Hoppers were just the best. It was a leather shoe that still just gripped like suede for some reason. The I-Path sole would last for less than the Vans waffle, but it was just great cause it was so soft and gripped just right.
It'd be rad if Vox could inherit the Hopper and cat, as well as the dudes mentioned above.
