I think it's great, I stopped buying SB's because it became a huge hassle and every shop wanted to charge a little extra. It completely turned me off. I still scooped some GR's, and love wearing them but dealing with small shops was a pain. At least in the LA area. I understand the notion of helping a small/local business. However, round these parts, these shops took advantage of the supply/demand aspect of Nike SB's. I noticed they've popped up on Swoosh/NDC, even snowboarding gear popped up this season.
It's time Nike puts exposure on skateboarding/snowboarding gear. The Nike 6.0 line was a flop IMO, and was kind of the "SB" lines ugly step brother.
