where does rome get off talking about where snowboarding came from? Rome was nowhere to be found when i first started shredding so they can take the attitude that they are some everlasting company in this game and fold it up real nice and stick it up their a**

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that snowboarding is a rich kid sport. I’ve been snowboarding since 1989 on my neon Kemper.

I hate to tell everyone but the skateboarding and snowboarding have hit mainstream. Take what you want from it and leave the rest. Consolidated has never really done anything positive for skateboarding. When have they ever paid 100 of thousands of dollars to build skateparks? Just get over it, Vans, Sole tech, DC, Globe, are all just as corporate as Nike, and if you can’t see that then you are blind to reality.

SNOWBOARDING (as SKATEBOARDING) IS NOT A SPORT.
Support true brands and local shops.
“DON’T DO IT”.

Nike is a huge company that should not be making snowboard boots, burton is a huge company that owns way to much but still makes some of the best sh*t, and rome is a company that hates on burton and “corporate” snowboarding but is getting just as big as burton as we speak. I don;t see how you could hate on consolidated cause they are just helping in exterior design. buy from core brands and stop bitching about how crappy all the big brands are, don’t even give them a thought.

for consolidated to team up with a snowboard brand – hella fucking whack. there goes consolidated down the tubes. besides from what I know, no brand in snowboarding is core. they all sell to every big box store.

why hate on nike when burton’s still in the game? They’ve been loyally turning snowboarding into profit for 30 odd years and taking out private names as the years have progressed. Take a deeper look at just how many companies burton now heads. Might make you think twice about nike.

The funny thing is you would have thought with all of Nike’s money and resources they would have come out with a super tech pair of snowboard boots and they didn’t. Nike’s boots suck and so do these. Snowboard boots have advanced so much since this old skool style above.

DSS – Rome is a snowboard company that has made boots for a couple years now. When Nike decided to get into snowboarding, again, the guys at Rome contacted Consolidated to hook up the colab i think. The two companies share very similar feelings on the big corporate running short companies taking money from actual skateboarder or snowboarder owned companies.

I remember seeing the guys from Consolidated at the last snowboard tradeshow in Vegas when these boots were announced.
