ruined my day

[FireFreek]

"STRATHAM, New Hampshire--The Timberland Company (NYSE: TBL) today announced that it has acquired substantially all of the assets of IPATH, LLC through a new wholly-owned subsidiary, IPATH Footwear Inc. IPATH designs, develops and markets skateboarding-inspired casual footwear, apparel and accessories. The IPATH brand mantra is "Follow Your Path" and the brand represents a melting pot of youth lifestyles, drawing strong influences from music, art and culture. The IPATH business will continue to be led by its founders Brian Krauss and Matt Field with the current management team based in Torrance, California."

well, another solid company gone. this is a perfect example why you shouldn't shop at ccs or active and stick to your LOCAL shops!

Wait a second..... does that mean the shoe company IPATH is no longer a company or what? I'm kinda lost and confused by all that.

[FireFreek]

Timberland now owns basically all of ipath. they can design the shoes to whatever now, and do basically what ever they want to ruin the company.

[Sk8 Shorty's]

ah shit that sucks ass
ive seen some timberland shoes...wow
w/e they do, if they try and make skate shoes theyll probably look like crap
or if they dont make any kinda skate shoe, itll be a bad thing
so in my opinion it sux ass either way.

No there more like an urban/fresh company, they make clothes, boots, shoes, ect. I really don't like them much but this makes me hate them even more.
