Snowboarding Now = Skateboarding 10 Years Ago

Rome and Consolidated roll out the limited edition Libertine Drunk with the following rant:

If you think the same logo that’s on that nut-hugger swim suit, golf ball, tennis skirt, jump rope, baseball bat and rollerblade might as well be on your next pair of snowboard boots, what will snowboarding look like in five or ten years? Will it be influenced in a way that’s true to our history? . . .The Libertine Drunk, a collab between the Rome SDS and Consolidated Skateboards, is a limited edition get-together of two brands who think sporting goods companies aren’t snowboard or skate companies.

We’re no fans of Nike either, but seriously? Can this be any more like slurping up someone else’s vomit?

Does the vomit taste good?

Some people seem to dig the boots, but if it’s not your thing, it’s not your thing.
