Trainers

nuknow - seriously what have Reebok ever done for skateboarding? Just because it's Palace is the next cool thing to come around and Adidas have a fuckload of money to spend on marketing. Adidas and Palace would have made a lot more sense. Palace should have realised this IMHO. The Umbro collab was shameless as well.

I'm guessing they want to collaborate with a "British" brand but both Reebok and Umbro haven't been British for a long time. It's all a bit meh.

I can honestly see where it's coming from. Adidas would have made it sound a bit "meh" IMO. Specially after what JS has been done to the brand.
I'm just trying to think like Palace...(whateverthefuck that means).
Think - Circa 2006 (UK)Blueprint skateboards launches a nike football shoe, the Zoom FC, as a sk8 shoe.
Palace wants to follow the trend. It's not about masses, it's about collabos.
It's about being limited and only selling for a couple of retailers.

You're looking at it wrong.
IMO.
