agreed. but if they werent like chuck taylors. and they looked durable. i wouldnt be as disappointed. and element shoes are bomb

I've NEVER snaped an element on a flat ground trick.

plus plan b has sheckler and jereme rogers who are 2 of the biggest jokes in skateboarding

plus the entire team is jocked out contest skaters "they rip yes but you have to admit they are jocked out contest skaters"

And those arn't skate shoes it clearly says that.
Elements have the ****iest shape ever.

**Fallenskater878** · 01-30-2009, 10:06 PM

those are pretty much converse with Plan B

**mr. awesome** · 01-30-2009, 10:08 PM

not to be a ****..
i respect the guys on that team.. but that company is just digging a grave for its own dignity.
like.. back in the day, plan b was LEGIT. like, the shot legit. my brother used to get all their old skate videos back in the day and get stoked off them. like they did good for the skindustry back when.. but since theyve been back ive just been waiting until they frick up, its like they want to be legit and super epic again.
their decks suck. straight up. imo.
the graphics, while i know, they dont matter, are cheap and very unimpressive.
theyre whole image since theyve been back is 'EPIC *****' and its getting on my nerves.
imo they think that since they used to be super frockin legit they can just come back 10 years later and be like 'OHH HEY! what up skate industry! mind if i just sorta squeeze through here to top position again?'
its like when youre waiting in line for the bathroom... and you leave because you see a shorter line somewhere else, but in reality it was the womens room, you come back and just expect you can get back to your spot in line again.
ya know?
its like if you leave. youre gone. we remember you. but youre gone. you are no longer the top dog of the skate industry, now more companys can innovate and create to try to get the best company. and then they come back and are like '**** you guys, were still number 1' and they try to earn their insta-respect back by putting ryan sheckler and p-rod on their team. its like pulling the wool over our eyes. sugar coating a bullet. like buying a car for a ms victm. it just doesnt work. its bs. and now theyre trying to expand their business with shoes? frock that d00d... bs. theyre getting up there with nike and world industries now.

Nike never made decks.... And their shoes are awesome.

**SkateGlobe13** · 01-30-2009, 10:15 PM

Plan B sucks yo. Always hated that crap. The decks aren't even good.

i was not attempting to say that...
im saying theyre just some big *** company with minor/moderate roots in skateboarding who came back later trying to be all legit again.

http://shopimages-pe.ccs.com/b2nb6402_tnbk.jpg

the back of the shoes read 'jocks suck'
its like...
YOURE MARKETING TO THE EXACT STEREOTYPE YOURE DISCRIMINATING AGAINST. what kind of bs is that?

Actually that's a pro's model. So its really the pro's design. Its not like nike went " Oh!, Lets make a shoe that says jocks suck!" No no no, it was a pro they sponsor. For wakeskating or some **** like that.

Nike is a shoe company though. of course their skate shoes are going to be good.

Plan B is a skate company, mostly for boards. their forte isn't in shoes.

Never said I support their shoe idea. I think it's quite stupid actually. They should just stick to decks.

*The Water Cats* · 01-30-2009, 10:29 PM

Yeah, I Agree with Mr.Awesome Plan B were a good company When they had carroll and Howard. Virtual Reality was Amazing at the time. Plan B and H-street were some of the Innovators Of Modern street skating. And Element shoes are good in my opinion i skated two pairs a year and a Bit ago and they held up nice

my point is that your comparison is stupid.

why compare a SHOE company with a BOARD company?

of course Nike is going to have better shoes.

The plan b shoes arn't even skate shoes..

**johnny16tx** · 01-31-2009, 01:43 PM

plan b sucks
nike sucks
end of story
plan b is trying to market off the fact their a re-vamp of a company that was rad 20years ago
why was old plan b amazing?
mike t was the team manager, they had matt hensley, companies we're owned by skaters back then and plan b was.
new plan b just BOUGHTOUT a bunch of popular riders and added them to their team
its a cashcow of a company with boring ass graphics
everyone here hates plan b and people quit ordering from syndrome
i wouldnt be suprised if unquestionable doesnt come out in 2010
who the **** sets a date for a video 2years in advance?

if plan b was called "jock skateboards" im sure people would be totally unstoked

**SKATEorDI3** · 01-31-2009, 05:52 PM

What the **** is that? They're ugly and they look like they suck. Is the economy that bad?

swordman540 · 01-31-2009, 06:13 PM

I pretty much realised Plan B wasn't the real "Plan B" after the superfuture promo. They need to look back on questionable.
