Wasn't his biggest complaint about going back ti powell peralta that they were only interested in selling nostalgia and he didn't want to be part of that?
Mike: “There is no Powell-Peralta — Not really. It’s just a brand name that’s been strategically positioned to capitalize on a film – to capitalize on nostalgia. There’s no substance there. There is no here and now. There is no soul. It’s all a fucking sham. I found out for myself.”
In other words, "I don't like that they are just cashing in on nostalgia, so I'm going to take that idea and present it as my own when I reissue MY old boards and cash in on MY nostalgia."
Chris im not 110% sure this is real, however there was something posted about him wanting to be a team manager or brand manager or something way out of his realm of understanding, hence they didnt come to terms. As I said im not sure that is correct, however if it is then I too would have laughed & shown him the door.
That makes his exit even worse, on his end. So he comes back into the fold, wants to be a team manager, they decline. He then makes up the excuse that he didn't want to be part of selling nostalgia....then goes and creates two brands that specifically sell nostalgia.
