Word on the Street

In a previous post we noted that Anthony Poppalardo and Alex Olsen are both off Lakai. But word on the street is that they may either be going to Converse or Vans. Nothing official yet but the rumor mill is spinning about it. The name Converse may be a surprise to being back in the skate game. There just may be another company back into the skate shoe game. Apparently the folks at Burton(yes Snowboards), are enlisting Gravis their sister company , to start a skate program. I hear since Burton also owns Analog that their enlisting some of their riders. I hear it maybe Stefan Janoski and Omar Salazar. Remember these are only rumors and this section "Word on the Streets" are not official. We just think it's interesting to see what may pan out.
