Emerica Introduces the Flick by Brandon Westgate

[foureyedjim]

Emerica is a skateboard shoe company.

America is a country.

i can understand the confusion, but the differences between the two are enormous.

I'm pretty sure a good percentage of consumers don't know where they're buying their shit from.  Sure people on SLAP might know, but does the average skateboarder know?  

It's only misleading for people who don't have prior knowledge that emerica shoes are made in China.  If "emerica" is a skateboard company, then wouldn't it make more sense to just put "made by emerica"?  

"made in emerica" just seems like an easy to way to take advantage of people who just simply don't know.

You have to be a complete idiot to find it misleading.

Also, Westgate has the best kickflip in the game.

does anybody know if these have that fusion shit they used to always talk about? i checked the site and it didnt say anything but im not sure if thats just because its standard on all shoes now or if they just dont make them anymore.

if "made in emerica" is what some of you choose to talk about after that kickflip, then id have to go the COTG route and say you assholes dont skate

that was the skateboarding equivalent to porn.

These are cupsoles

The fusion technology is a special process for vulcanized shoes.

lol thanks for clearing that up! but I've never heard of lakais made in lakai, or ford vehicles made in ford, or nike shoes made in nike.

the statement was clearly misleading, and the fact that multiple people think it was, means it was.

you know there's a difference between being misled by something, and simply recognizing that something is misleading? considering that the demographic emerica targets is largely composed of fucking idiots that can't find their own country on a map, i'm sure a lot of them would interpret that statement to mean that the shoes themselves were made in america. so while i agree with you that you have to be an idiot to be mislead by it, you're a fucking naive moron if you cannot see how it is a misleading statement.

its not possible for me to think like an idiot, so no, i cannot see how its misleading
