PJ Ladd on Lakai would be amazing

Good shout man - I'd love to see that.

Mo is on DC for sure.

I don't blame him at all. DC make the most durable and stylish skate shoes on the market. I'm currently sporting the ones pictured below. Not only do they look tough, the keep my toes dry and toasty.

lakai should just use up that money on doing exactly what their good at. Get dudes like josh hawkins and ben fischer and bring those dudes up.

No thanks dude, Fisher's perfect on cons.

Really? People actually dislike someone for what kind of shoes they wear? This is pretty superficial stuff, there are bigger things in the world to worry about.

The strangest part to me is that I bet if he went to Nike nobody would care, or they'd be stoked.

This coming from the guy who has "Support your LOCAL skate shop" as his avatar. Pretty sure the whole argument is "core vs corp," which is the same as a local shop vs zumiez, basically.

Personally i don't really care. Gotta get that money man

so why is everyone pissed?
Because he is leaving the coolest shoe company, or because he is going somewhere bigger?
What if it is Nike and no DC? ( though unlikely)

Good for him wherever he ends up.  Even though Lakai has a great team and is skater owned, I'd never want to wear a pair of their shoes.

So you're saying it makes sense to stop hanging out with one of your buddies if he buys a pair of DC shoes? Same thing, different scale.

Don't try to point out hypocrisy that doesn't exist, I don't care either, that's the point. People are actually expressing hostile feelings over someone they don't know deciding to wear a different kind of shoes. Maybe I wouldn't make that kind of decision, and I like Lakai WAY more than DC (hence my post a couple more up), but in the end it's his decision if he wants to move on and for all anyone here knows there are things going on behind the scene other than $$ that motivated him to leave.

It's not core vs. corp in this situation, which is why I pointed out how nobody would care if he went to Nike. It's what's trendy to like versus what's trendy to hate in a lot of these situations.

DC wants to re-build their skate team. DC started from skateboarding after all.

I'm not that bothered by all of this.
They want to rebuild their super star team.
Make the 2010+ equivalent of what they had going in the mid nineties.
And they're succeeding.

so what.

In Mo's case (and in the other cases before him):
Mo is stoked.
I'm sure Carroll and Howard are stoked as well on a friend level.
Think of all the coverage DC will give him, isn't that coverage for Girl as well.

blah

I had 2 pairs of the very first DC's when they came out in the 90's, great shoes. Nothing like what they became. Went to sleek and light skate shoes to well, what they are now.

skating is all about choosing your outfit very deliberately, going out in public. looking super sick. and then riding your board a little bit

fuck this is terrible news.  I wanna start buying Lakai now.  It would be a sad sad day if they ever go under.  And to whoever said PJ on Lakai, that would probably never happen but would be the coolest move by PJ ever.
I actually did hit another skater in the face with my shoe once at a demo doing a shoes fly off kickflip but he was cool with it.

Get the fuck out! For real? Moose is dope but he doesn't look like a DC guy. I still have a hard time thinking Dompierre is on DC.

yeah im all for mike mo making more money from a new shoe sponsor, but for some reason i would rather see him on  nike,adidas or cons rather than dc. i didnt hate on cole or mike taylor and any one else whose just made the switch to dc but for some reason the thought of a pair of dc's on mike mo makes me cringe
