Some Neato Email!
Franck Boistel, the man behind such classic skateboarding shoes as the original Marc Johnson Emerica pro model and èS Creager and Muska pro models sent this in yesterday:
Hey Rob.
We don't know each other. I am the ex-footwear designer for Sole Technology. I have been the first designer after Pierre on all brands for nine years. I surf regularly between a bunch of skateboard related websites so I found yours. I just wanted to tell you that I really like your blog, your spirit and your talent. I like your big mouth, I found that it's a quality that you don't find often on people, saying the raw truth. I love the New York Mess and Arto's crack on the etnies website. I wish we could meet and grab a beer. Shoot me a line sometime and keep it up!
Cheers,
FB
Thanks Franck!

This man is a myth, a legend.
He's not making only "classical" skateboarding shoes, he push the skate footwear to another level.
He don't need soletech's to grow up, but soletech need him.
Today none of the actual designers have his sensibility and creative design ability.
Keep it up Franck et merci pour tout !
