They just released Mike Anderson's pro shoe.

they still need to honor contracts and buyer agreements so even though it may seem weird that they keep putting shoes out, I think it's a legal thing.

i'm sure they started working on his shoe long before they knew they were going out of business. they wouldn't tell one of their riders that he was getting a pro shoe and then randomly scrap it. or maybe they would, i really have no idea. i'm just talking shit.

They invested how ever many thousand(or million) dollars into designing and producing this stuff, do you really think they are just going to drop everything and say "fuck it" because they are going out of business? That's not how you run a business dude. They still are legally required to honor all of their prior agreements.

It would be cool if they wait awhile for the tech shoe craze to pick up again and then start releasing old school eS shoes.

Though I must say that their shoes were starting to look pretty good before they pulled the plug as well.
