[Southernmost]

In Miltons story are those Chuck Taylor slip ons or Vans? Kinda hard to tell but I know some of you guys can id shoes with your eyes closed. Sorry it’s just a link, if someone can assist with a screenshot or recording.

They sent me a box once and I can confirm there’s no paper. Milton lucky to even got the shoeboxes.

So far this is turning out to be like the time everyone thought Nike was going under in 2021 because they kicked off noted A-Lister Clark Hassler.

They still haven’t recovered from that

That green one seems like a very old pair.   They haven’t done that lobster tag in like 15 years

Those grey ones look like they're made for Marshalls / Ross, like those Polo Assn shoes.

This is how every brand ships shoes to skate shops. No exceptions. No one uses paper or other packing materials and sometimes they come out of the boxes.

I fw Clark Hassler, and what he represented
He was a straight up middle of the road pro
The Everyman

Cooper wilt similar story

Dwindle would have been a good workplace, kept a lot of people going for a long time

I think there’s something to be said there, most of us on here would have our own careers in different industries
Probably none of us on here are like leading experts in our fields. We’re just in the middle. Like those guys. And that’s ok

Remember all those Pops and Trapasso’s we got for cheap…what’s insane is the shoes never got better…

If anyone here is into basketball, SGA just signed with Nike. Definitely think Converse will be sold off soon and who knows what will happen to the skate program.

That line is so good.

Clark was also asked to ride for Enjoi during the MJ era.
Marc picked him.

Those were the two best shoes Cons have made. I really wanted to make the LL2s work.

His pro shoe flopped.

I'll show myself out.

LinkedIn posting Nike CEO doing a speech at Converse HQ. Feels like rumours of Converse sold could be nothing.

I actually liked the shoe, looked like a cross between Answer 4's and the last few Harden shoes. SGA is just so unwatchable, I doubt the shoe sold at all outside of Oklahoma.

I think they’re great too.  Only issue is with the toe cap ending so abruptly that it looks a little shitty from the inside of the shoe, which is the part the wearer sees the most

[buttchin]

Nike should sell Converse to Moonstar, a japanese sneaker manufacturer. I believe moonstar might already be making converse made in japan sneakers based of this Rose Anvil comparison vid
http://youtu.be/hoKDfc-8IdA?is=7tKsOO-QlmKH4BzT

Only problem is that converse sneaker construction of “japanese caliber” would cost so much more money on top of tariffs

I actually really like those guys and that sort of skating, I just meant like they’re not rail chompers nor were they doing huge sets of stairs

But yea was dumb thing to say like of course they stood out but they weren’t like superstars or anything

[pizzafliptofakie]

My Clark Hassler point was more about how it should not have been surprising that Nike did not renew the contract of someone who has more or less been out of the public eye for twenty years. But instead people used that to affirm their unsubstantiated rumors about Nike instead of just admitting they were wrong about something.
