This is Ethan Fowler & Austin Stephens’ new shoe company….Everyone is entitled to thier own opinion, so I am gonna voice mine…Skateboarding just got a bit more uglier out there….Austin is off Emerica for this…and Ethan put his Vans away to step his feet into some…..well you be the judge….
They’re not that bad. There’s definitely a lot worse out there. I still wouldn’t ride anything without that waffle grip, sucka!
more lifestyle shots of hipster douches in pointy boots.leather jackets and elf boots.
the slips and the high’s look good. the rest remind me of simple when they first started. I dunno, skaters starting their own shoe companies is way cooler then companies selling out to non skaters.
I like the slip-ons and the real simple skate shoes. I’m so sick of graphics on shoes it makes me bananas.
I’m pretty sure you are gonna find these “BELOE” the Ice Creams at your local Marshall’s within a year. All the kids in the hood will be wearing Ethan Fowlers…tight…
fucking haters! I don’t think these are all that bad. I’m with nugget on this one.
I like the shape and design of the shoe, but brown does not go with those colorful squares! That’s like mixing skittles and psilocybin mushrooms, except you don’t get to explore the dazzling multi-demensional nature of the universe.
not feelin em but i agree with nugget..at least theyre out on their own instead of in the big box stores.
I support what I like. Where it’s sold, I kinda dont care. Actually, I REALLY don’t care. Bottom line is that, those two wear barely hanging onto their current shoe sponsors as it was…so what do you do when you are in jeaopardy of getting kicked off?…start your own shit. Skateboarding is saturated with one company, pig-backing the designs and ideals of another. That’s why the majority of skate shoes look the same…shitty, or like a bootleg Half Cab. These shoes look ridiculous…whether or not they are skater ran or whatever….
if you havent noticed dudes arent exactly “A list” these days. If you want a real treat check out ethans new board company featuring the worst name in the history of skateboarding. I present to you – Bummer High. http://www.bummerhigh.com/Catalog/index.htm
AHAHAHAH! damn Ki…. Hammer don’t hurt’em!! Haters wanna hate lover’s wanna love. I don’t even want, non of the above…. Whatever it is another co. and another couple of skaters, it’ll either go down or end up becoming huge with greasy headed ravers in Prauge or the newest shit of Ibiza and you guy’s will never know. But either way these are the same Stan Smith/ then reebok stole it for the NPC model and Icecreams/ also not to mention Etnies plus/ and god knows who else. Add a half cab/ half shell remix. How many people are wearing the same kicks with different names? Look at the old school Reebok ‘work out’ 5311 joints and the Fila f-13, same shoe from sole to the friggin ankle strap! Look China can remake any style you want and put any name on it, pointing out the facts is just the way it should be.

Maybe they will use lead paint and have to recall the shoes at a later date. Ki, its really cool that you don’t care about not caring. Sorta the new old new. Remember nice shoes? When they first came out it was like skating in a pair of dollar store baseballs.
Man, I just feel sorry for Ethan over all the inter-hate I’ve been reading over these things. Cheer up buddy, I still like you alot.
More siked on seeing a somewhat ugly shoe compared to carbon copy of another mediocre shoe and 1000 props to skater owned companies. So what if they werent alist anymore they still love skateboarding enough to take a risk like this
Exactly, just don’t cop them if you don’t like them. If your talking about the shoes and not the idea, then you know where I stand. I am hyped for them but I just don’t like the kicks… to me they are carbon copies and I think it’s enough already. The color ways are bad and I don’t know how the sole is and blah, blah, blah… It is always good that skaters own their own stuff but no one should be mad if the product don’t sell cause someone don’t like it or no one should be hated on for stating an opinion… That’s some hypocritical, no?
Ok….really quick…just dont like the shoes…Ethan Fowler? Well, he has one of the illest 3 flips to date…I bought my first Syd Barret album because of his Foundation part…And Austin Stephens I have seen skate in person.(back when pros came to skate Love/City Hall) He rips. So there is no hate in that sense. I was just dogging silly shitty companies for the sake of making ANOTHER shitty company. Opinions are like assholes…everybody’s got em’….Oh and NICE? C’mon I used to love those things back in the day!!!
The new Kastel or 2fish?Ethan used a Syd song once so he is exempt from hate but the shoes is bobo,try again…
Hey jake, remember that fight we saw across from whitehall with the two chicks? She pulled a bat out….That shit was (jake lewis quote from that day…) “GANGSTA GANGSTA!!!”
Whoa!! I used to LOVE Kastel’s!! I had the Ronnie Bertino and a couple pairs of Alfonso Rawls. It was a clean company…Remember Rick’s shoe? I like that WAAAAAY better than his shoe on Vox. Yup…I said it.
HAHAHA! hell yes, the most GANGSTA part about it was that the fight was going on and them the Ruff Ryder just showed up doin wheelies up and down the block… Then the chicks got in the car and dipped off! That shit was high-larious!
White Heezy on mischief nite equaled projectile bags of shit,rocks,eggs and water balloons most likely filled with piss or Aids blood.Duke Nuke’em gets award for helping that girl get to her car though.real things.
Who in the world is stupid enough to go to Whitehall on Mischief Night? That is open season for trouble…Fuuuuuucccckkk that.
haha, austin quit because jerry hsu is getting a pro model, and ethan got kicked off vans like a year ago. why make a biker and skateboard shoe, one or the other.
Tell Austin….wamp wamp wamp…You want a pro shoe? Put out a pro part like Jerry’s.Until then, get your guitar and write a song about how Jerry took your shoe away…..And Ethan got kicked off Vans because he’s not some young knee’d rail chomping menace….Or maybe it was because why would a company pay some dude top dollar to lag around, when they can pay some idiot kid waaay less to do more???…Dollars and sense….
