3 words: look at Think. blind could do what think just did. got some hard workers, some homies just wanting to prove themselves, true street rats with style. updated the art direction...def more 2013 but still with a nod to its roots.
they took their time and re developed a brand left for dead. with the way skate is headed, may not be bad a thing for blind to hit a restart button and come back with a fresh feel to appeal to the people still skating...the brand just screams of something that should be sold at a sporting goods store not of something with the clout it should have. run the 90's gonz logo for everything- pullover hoodies, crewnecks, 5 panels, oversized logo deck graphics. do a few shapes in the 8.25-8.5 with a nod to older shaped with a more squared nose and distinct tail.
be creative, not re release what was creative.
romar and morgan are 2 to start with and keep. check out some other cats that are on smaller brands that could make a move for greater opportunity and rebuild: get manny on to be like team leader, love karl, but walker ryan could use some extra push, bring on sebo he's coming into his own right now, give nick tucker a shot to silence people, let tommy fynn get a shot from someone with a budget, james capps could hold down sf. all these guys given a shot would add what is missing from blind- style.
blind just went from something holding on to something coming up...you asked, sorry to blast.
