UNDFTD is coming up these days with more and more brand recognition around the industry. I was watching Sport Center the other night and saw the new Nov. 07 AT&T commercial featuring independent brands; Greedy Genius, ALIFE, Soul Box, and of course UNDFTD. I can dig the fact that these brands are growing up and accepting the responsibility that comes with the spotlight, and I think that they are handling it quite well. I don’t believe in that whole “You sold out!” bullshit that’s thrown around these days. What does “sold out” truly mean anyway? Growing up, making more money, building brand recognition? I don’t know about ya’ll, but I’m a business man and all that constitutes as signs of a great business venture on the come up. Yo I’m glad the kick scene is in the spotlight, it’s about time Generation Y takes back television and exposes America to something else out there, other than American Idol.

Here some UNDFTD gear I thought was pretty sick!

Selling out to me is different in a a lot of different circumstances… If thats your goal, say…. in skateboarding, like Ryan Sheckler to get as big as your possibly can by busting your ass… so be it. Yet, if your Tony Trujillo, and start skating in Adidas bc they solely offer you a shit ton of cash…. that would be selling out. Yea?

I thought it was a dope move for them. Build your brand.
