i think people need to understand that just because someone leave a company doesn’t mean they are going for shock value, Kr3w is a dope brand with good cred for awhile now. Why not be apart of something new and fresh (snow team). Especially when some of your OTHER good friends are such apart of it. i dont think this was ever meant to be a diss until peeps got the impression it was. although im quite enjoying this. its a little over the top. getting paid to do something you love by a DOPE brand is never a bad thing,
REAL TALK
ps
KR3W (backwards E)
SNOW (backwards N)
both 4 letter words, theme no? not necessarily a direct diss
josh.

if you aint being hated on, you aint doin shit. -ghost face killah
Kr3w is doin it
ǝunɯoɔ
bottom line tho, comune is way sicker than krew, no matter what.

It was a diss when they put a backwards N in “Snow”. it was like yea we stole your riders, fuck you comune… Super weak..
Someones gonna get hurt I feel…
UHHH
Bottom line, this is making everyone look stupid and immature. Both companies are sick, and riders on both teams are sick. Who cares who said what….putting a backwards N in a video isnt going to put anybody out of biz and stealing riders or losing riders or whatever, happens every day in this crazy industry. I personally find all this funny from both “sides” or whatever. This is snowboarding………..its not serious……or at least it shouldnt be.

To me, this looks like a simple case of people on all sides kinda getting their shit in a twist over some stuff that is probably an equal mix of intentional and coincidental. I don’t follow snowboarding to the extent that I could compare teams, but I do know that a pissing match between two companies who both possess undeniable potential (COMUNE) & success (KR3W) is irrelevant to anything that either of these two companies actually do. And anyone beyond the snowboarding community, of which there are many, won’t be swayed to or from either brand because of their team’s roster, this video, or any of these comments (including this one).
Throwing COMUNE under the bus because of their having a name similar to a variety of other companies is a pretty inadequate claim. The fact is, for anyone who does not understand the copyrighting system or process, that due to constraints of language, it is entirely legal for multiple entities to use the same name as long as they only use it within industries and regions for which they have bought the rights. So, if anyone wants to hold a grudge against the label, it’s simply because they don’t like it, but not because they have some moral outrage of how they came to be.
I don’t personally wear KR3W, but I know the brand well enough to appreciate its take on being a lifestyle brand with abilities to maintain its direct ties into hip-hop and skate culture. Most action sports labels give me idiot shivers when i see the base of their clientele, however KR3W has somehow managed to keep itself centralized. This does not make them a fashion label however, which is the primary difference between the two companies.
If KR3W wants to expand its snowboard team by any possible means, being that they are a larger, more established company with wider distribution and deeper pockets, then so be it. It’s the name of the game. Stylizing a video to look anything like a COMUNE finished product, which coincidentally is focusing on riders who were just recently on COMUNE’s team is more of an embarrassment than a diss. And for a bunch of doodz who are mentioned as sitting around all day, snorting cocaine and shooting heroine, they are, right out of the gate, producing an impeccably advanced line that only seems to be growing, not for its hype, but for its quality and style.

Angel,
Supra is not your trademark. males in their teens and twenties are quite attentive to brands as it is common for people in this age bracket to try to fit in amongst their peers by wearing a particularly popular brand, such as “SUPRA FOOTWEAR” & Device. In addition, the Applicant’s intended consumers are those athletes interested in riding skateboards. These consumers not only purchase the Applicant’s products in order to fit in with their peers, but also for the improve skateboard riding performance, which the Applicant’s products provide. Skateboarding males are very highly sophisticated when it comes to purchasing equipment and apparel. My name is Angel I am a long hair cabrona.

Is anyone else familiar with the term “postmodernism”? Everything is a contradiction and everything has been done before. There’s no need to burden yourselves with the question of “who is the real OG”, because the answer is no one. Just relax and enjoy some art and culture from our friends over at Comune, Ashbury, and Krew. It’s all just entertainment anyhow.
h. milk
hate’n ashbury. get your krew of pinkos together and come shred with uncut men at the commune.
You guys should all get together at SIA and have a big sissy fight rumble. Last bitch standing wins!
With so many wack companies in this industry, you guys gotta fuck with each other? Come on.
phro
comune’s sold in the buckle along with tapout, ed hardy, and affliction. word.

Doesn’t everyone have better things to do? Especially the comune guys, aren’t you guys like 35? Go start a family, not worry about this shit.

COMUNE is the shit, snowboarders who put snowboarding, and the people and lifestyle that goes with it first, trying to break the mold of what snowboarding is percieved as at the moment. Krew was exactly that to skateboarding a few years ago. Think of snowboarding a few years back. hands down most kids would have scoffed at a company like ashbury and wathed that FODT video again.
At least krew didnt sponsor jeremy and jp or mfm….
Corey Smith was one of the first guys snowboarding in jeans, along with whitlake and luke macmaster, and one of the first to realise you didnt have to pose in front of a tagged up dumpster to make some shit happen. He made a lot of people realise that you didnt have to be THAT into hip hop, that if you were an artist then fuck it, do that too. If you preferred the stones to the wu then that was cool. anyone who would support ashbury should support that, and not go flaring up on a comments page about who is ripping off who.
the fact that riders switched is hardly an issue. think of Leo Romero, foundation, Baker and now Toy machine? all without even a full video part? koston? es, lakai and now nike… people switch for paychecks all the time, if any of you kids had the choice you would too.
Whatever, Krew chose a banging team. comune chose it first.
