Adidas may have had some failed ventures in other aspects of their company, but as far as their skating goes it should show that they don't overpower their riders and push them to shove adidas down the worlds throats, like other corporations. At least they will probably be open minded and have enough money to blow to risk letting dylan try out his own shit. Whats he gonna do on Van's anyway, use syndicate to create an all black shoe, already been done.
