They're been in it for a while with ACG stuff. 6.0 is the new release. It's money. Go for it, join the market, I just don't plan on rocking it.

People were very skeptical of Nike getting into skateboarding(again) and good things came out of that, from the bottom up, grassroots style almost(even tho it was just a maketing ploy). The shoes they make are sick, are involved in good aspects of skating, and have a solid team.

true but oakley is style a good company sticking with core sports. i think he means people like adidas just making ski boots all of a sudden.

kill nike.
all that comes out of nike owning the world is that smaller, core companies like orage, and siver cartel get pushed out of the way by mass marketing power.
dont help buy out companies that actually care about skiing, and not just the money.

if by "core sports" you mean targetting any and every individual that longs for a "young and hip" life, then yes, I'd agree with you.

Visit one of Oakley's Retail stores, view the people that walk in for a period of like, 15 minutes, and then tell me if they are exclusively for "core sports".
