All I know about Stussy is they still give Lance Mountain a good check

[close]

Hopefully it's very good since he gives half of it to the church. (Or would it be better if it was a lesser amount)

[close]

Half?  Not 10% as is typical for tithing?

[close]

I'm prob having a brain fart but didn't the firm go under because he was giving way too much away? (Prob not 50% tho I need to watch my casual speaking)

[close]

Oh I have no idea, I assumed it went over because it wasn’t a terribly popular brand, but maybe something was up bc Blitz brought all the big names over to Flip.   

I never got the idea from Lance that he’s in some weird version of Christianity.   He’s never really preaching it or making it a “Thing”.  The church I went to in Orange County was super mellow and pretty apolitical and the Catholic high school I went to had nuns that shaped me politically to be a left-winger, so I wouldn’t really say there’s a blanket experience of Christianity down here

i remember him talking about how he feels he has to give a large portion of his income to the church. as the owner of a brand he felt that it was his duty to also take money and profit from the brand, to give to the church, because his brand allows him to be successful and fruitful. i cannot remember what interview but he basically says he had no issue with it and would do it again, but thats not why he won't do another brand?

I recall now some interview that when he first started The Firm he went into the red because he was calculating his church contributions wrong. He was taking a percentage off the total sales, not the actual profits the company was making, so he very quickly went into debt with it. I don't remember how long before he figured things out. I remember some other video interview after he folded The Firm where someone asked him about it going out of business and he commented that the Firm's bank accounts still had money in them, which was his way of claiming it didn't go out of business due to money issues.

Have you listened to his 9 club ? He talks about his conversations with god many times during the interview. I love Lance, but he has definitely made it a thing. Signed my friends Firm board and wrote a note of his favorite psalms

personally I love the DC Truth. got me through three straight days of city walking from 10-10. won't refuse a AI-era 76ers colorway.

Never listened to any 9 club.   I was meaning more like when Jamie Thomas became Christian it was on graphics and everywhere.   Mountain, Agah, and Mulder always just seemed like Christians who skate and not Skate Christians

Lance made the others clearly uncomfortable the amount of times he brings up his conversations with the saviour

Mulder is a pastor who has been doing skate church for like 20 years, doing one man demos all over the world in church parking lots lmao...

The Nine Club guys would be uncomfortable if you asked them to count to 20 while keeping their shoes on.   


I don’t know what you want me to say about Mulder.   Skaters are allowed to have interior and spiritual lives.   Apparently I haven’t dug as deeply into their lives as you have, but it doesn’t seem like they’re doing anything wrong.   Not at all Christians are Evangelical Trump lovers

Shell toes (navy/white toe) at my local for $100.  Is that what they’ve always gone for?   Seems really overpriced

it's not, pretty much everything is more expensive than it used to be these days, thought you'd know that since you were dropping knowledge about capitalism in my thread about pro skaters who stayed with their sponsors for the longest

that being said, they've been around that for a while now. non-skate shell toes are even more expensive lol.

hell no, this is the shoe elissa was wearing in welcome to hell, it looked great on her. this colorway is whatever, but wait for the black/white and white/black (i'm assuming these will come out eventually)

The price went up in 2021, non skate ones are this much too. The gazelle is also $100 and it’s just a simple suede shoe. They are tripping if they think people will pay that much anymore.

Anyone aware of any other colorways coming out for these Skate Authentic Mids? Brown suede seems to be the initial color

[close]

The colorways I know for sure are Black/Black, Forest Green, and Van Doren Navy. Van Doren Navy being that classic lighter blue color that they call Navy for some reason.

 Those are for May-December. Could be other colors too, between now and May.

Black/Black- Suede in the toe
Forest Green- All Suede
Navy- All Canvas. Hard to tell from the photo, but that’s what it looks like.

Not even going to act like I don’t fuck with these. I loved shoes with a strap when they were in vogue. Reminds me of listen era Rob G.

I know, I just couldn’t believe going triple digits for THAT.   $ 95 wouldn’t have rattled me as much

[144p]

I find it interesting that brands don't put more faith in keeping prices down by 15% and selling more units.
as a retailer when i see shoes that should be in the 75-85 range being bumped up to 95+ i know how it will be received in the marketplace, That 20% of sales disappears because it prices out all the 17-24 demographic who have jobs and work for their money vs the kids who just want and mom/dad buys em.
It's crazy how $10 will make some people not even consider it. I've seen those kids just get chuck taylors or halfcabs instead,not even blink.

i hit up gallant and asked him. strike mvmnt has been around for a while making different trainers.
these will be skateable trainers. marc morriset the found was a pro snowboarder who worked at four star dist/circa for a while. i had a pair when they first came out, pretty comfy but nothing super different, but i think it was a very basic model.
