Circa is done, it makes me sad
« on: October 07, 2014, 07:46:43 PM »
They were my first pair of real skate shoes after busting 2 pairs of new balance trainers.

Post your favorite Circa models from the past




They were ahead of their time, but never had the mystique outside of core skaters. Circa shutting down doesn't surprise me, but this might be the start of skate shoe companies going under. I predict Vox going next

C1rca was done the day Appleyard,Muska and Thomas left.Im glad they tried to keep it alive thru the ''it's time'' era.Hopefully someone supports the OG's,IE Lopez,Allie. Pretty sure this is the second time in a 5 year span they went under.As for your prediction Tracer,Now is the time we should be supporting the skater owned shoe company's.

Circa is not done, they restructured/is that even a word?/ the company, and I think I read somewhere, shit, probably here, that they found an investor, put some new ams on, and right now they are doing all right. Just watch all those Circa episodes on hellaclips, doesnt seem like they are hurting that much right now.

Yup...I think it was a nosegrind or krook down a rail in the ad. James Craig wasn't on long and they put Romendetta pretty early as well as Lenny Rivas.

Same deal. Also had the Colt Cannon pro shoe, the CC650. Ugly as hell, but he repped 650. Never really skated them, though.

I had that Colt Cannon model too.  I bought it mainly because he was my favorite skater at the time.  They weren't too great.  I don't remember how they actually felt, but I do remember that they didn't hold up that well.  I had masking and duct tape holding the toe together.

They have no pros left, Adrian Lopez is basically nothing in the skate industry now. Their last big venture was its time and even Durrant changed ship s

Rattray was on I think around this time as well. Videoradio's one of my favorite all time tour vids, and that's as close as we got to a full length from this crew.

Mine too! It's one of the few vids that I keep a VCR around for. I still get bummed out at the end, thinking about 'what could have been' considering Greg Hunt got robbed during the trip.

theyve got a soild team, but honestly i have no idea how circa is still around. when is the last time you went looking for a new pair of shoes and circa was a brand you considered? i cant even remember the last time i saw them in a shop. this is probably the last circa shoe i saw in person.

Those are also the last pair of Circas I bought! Absoloutley outstandingly bad to skate in but comfortable otherwise.
Between 2003 and 2008 I had a hell of alot of their shoes, never really disappointing in terms of comfort and how they skated.
Getting nostalgic for video radio and even It's time.
I'm going to argue that Placebo owes their entire career to a Canadian dude's skate video part. Appleyard should be getting royalties for this shit.
