Anti-Anti Nike Movement
So consolidated and a select number of skateboarders don't want you to buy Nike. They think that there should be constant strife between "skaters" and "jocks" Maybe they are right, or maybe Nike actually makes some of the best shoes around, maybe the money they are putting into developing a team and getting that team more coverage than anyone else is good for skateboarding, maybe the fact that they are getting people like Paul Rodriguez into the public spotlight is a good thing for skateboarding, maybe the fact that Nike is probably bringing more people into skateboarding with open mindedness than they are turning them away with hate.

Nike is not worried about growing the industry...the industry is already grown....they want ur money and they want it now. Small and Medium sized skate shoe companies that have always kept skaters in great shoes for a reasonable price will fall by the wayside. Im sorry...but paying over a hundy for a pair of shoes just totally blows my mind.
My problem may just be that im too old school...but dudes my age would never fall for this shit. Only posers would buy Nike sk8 shoes.
Anyway...its a pointless arguement. Nike is here and they arent going anywhere anytime soon. Nike supporters just keep going to the mall and buy your 120.00 shoes at Journeys and Zumiez like good little sheep.

I bought a pair of Janoski's. But I don't skate them, that's the most I've ever spent on shoes. And I'm gonna take damn good care of 'em...ha.
