I LOVE my Five Ten's for mountain biking! Sad though to see another family business absorbed by a large corporation.... everything is starting to feel a bit like the Borg. You will be assimilated.

This makes me worried about the future of some of my favorite products (like the canyoneer).

Yea - so now they'll pop the Adidas brand name on them & double the price. They were a really good deal for what they could do. Makes me contemplate rushing out and buying a spare pair before Adidas takes over.

perhaps addidas will keep up with a constant production schedule. part of the problem with five ten is if they don't have their product in stock they might not be able to get any more for another 6 months to retailers. interesting to see how quality changes after this

Holly crap. It could be over for my favorite shoes.

I think the expression is: "Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated."
