Yea, that poster was in Journeys around 95/96. I had a few pairs.

Wow... i havent seen that one is a while.

I thought it was tight getting free Shelltoes. But they were pushing that shoe and didn't want to send me shelltoes anymore.

Than when i went to shoot the ad... the photographer was shooting me trying to warm up doing the noseslide. He was shooting it all
at the wrong times.... and i remember asking him..."what are you doing?" He said don't worry about it.. he had never shot skateboarding before and was practicing while i was warming up.

Anyway... i ended up shooting some stuff in S.D.... only to find out at the trade show they had the ad pictured above as a huge poster.... all my dudes were clowning me.. even Ken Block. FYI that sequence is a bunch of separate stills thrown together. Its not even a real sequence. Each frame was from a different try. Haha.

So i couldn't get the shells anymore, and they were pushing me to wear a different shoe, and they played me (embarrassed me) by running that ad... i instantly quit and got shoes from Block. And that was that. Best decision i could have ever made!!! lol.

Haha damn they sent out a dude to shoot your ad who hasnt ever shot skateboarding? Damn that must have been frustrating

tripledonkeyflip · « **Reply #6 on:** December 30, 2011, 09:37:55 AM »

No doubt.

I remember being extremely aggravated that day because the Addidas folks were so wack.. and the photographer sucked. They didn't understand the timing of the trick. I did a back 180 fakie 5.0 on a ledge... and i could see the flash popping at the absolute wrong time.

It was frustrating knowing how the ad was going to turn out. I kept telling them Blabac or Skin or somebody should come shoot it... and they weren't having it. They probably paid that photographer 5k a day or something absurd.

Funny now to look back.... but damn.... that shit was wack!!!!!!!

Dang... Sorry for reminding you Kalis! Haha. Good to know you're in good hands though after all these years!

Damn Kalis, After you said what trick it is I can totally see it, but before you can't even tell what you're doing.

Wow. Ive only been skating since 2001 but I thought I was a big enough skate nerd to know Kalis rode for addidas, those old ads are ill, I love the old Alien Workshop

sleepypancakes · « **Reply #23 on:** December 31, 2011, 11:34:18 AM »

This makes me wonder whether the new adidas photogs are skate related or just other photogs who know the skaters personally and get paid from adidas free lance style?

I'll contribute to the Kalis ad stoke.

My scanner is being a piece of shit, and can't find it on the internet, but your Seek ad that's the back tail on a jersey barrier at night is too sick. Wall hanger for sure.

That shoe color way was so sick!! Had multiple pairs, along with the navy ones. I think with a hint of orange.

Wish i had a pair right now, it'd be in a glass case

I only started skateboarding three years ago and I knew Kalis used to be on Adidas. Your post makes me feel like a very accomplished skate nerd.
