NIMH is literally only owned by Brian and Jon, so no one can tell them what to do. That is the difference in 100% SKATER PWNED. VALO= Roces, the manufacturer and co-owner of the brand + Jon Julio

NIMH= Brian Shim and Jon Elliott

That is the difference in 100% SKATER PWNED.

Are you sure? "sorry nimh but putting skins on [razors] and removing the toe and [stating 100% ownership] just doesnt cut it for me," I rest my case. Oh really? Are you sure?

“sorry nimh but putting skins on [razors] and removing the toe and [stating 100% ownership] just doesnt cut it for me,”

I rest my case.

I love how many choices are available nowadays, compared to say,1991. Even the lowest end skates nowadays are so sweet compared to rollerblade lightnings. People talk of "Knowing"Rollerblading. Try Mizouing a 30 stair in rollerblade lightnings and then you may "know" rollerblading. Respect to Julio and Shima for everything they have done, and are doing for Rollerblading. Props to all the old heads still Rolling who remember a time before all the bitching about what skate is better. Valo and Nimh are sick.

Nimhs are not nice? You obviously haven't tried one before. Who cares if they're Cults wrapped in skin. The concept of the whole boot was to let rollerbladers enjoy the free groove system in the souplate with an equally good mould to support the foot, all the while keeping the price down to a minimum. Besides, the cult shell is pretty basic and the big differences are the cuff and the toe area chopped off. Anyway, back to Valo. Even though the issue of ownership is still a bit confusing, I hope Jon Julio finds some way to break free from Roces and be independent. What better way to help and support the industry than to give your money directly to the pros. P.S Just because Nimhs use Razors Cult shells doesn't mean Razors gets a piece of the action too. I can tell. The Nimh skate company is independent as f***. Haha. Nimhs are not nice? You obviously haven’t tried one before. Who cares if they’re Cults wrapped in skin.

Empire is owned by Azikiwee Anderson. Them Goods is owned by Jon Julio. All that's happening here is the US distribution of Valo is changing hands- the ownership of the company is not changing. The shell that Nimh uses is NOT A RAZORS SHELL. Meaning, it does not belong to Razors. It is one of their manufacturer's open molds, which means any of their clients can use it without paying a licensing fee, or for the molds that create it. Bootshell molds are the single most expensive part of creating a new skate, as they are the most complex shape in a skate. Everyone thinks of it as a Razors shell because Razors used it for years and years- actually Razors started up in much the same way as Nimh is, creating their own parts to fit that shell- but it is not actually their shell. Nimh is 100% skater-owned, by Brian and Jon, and has NOTHING TO DO WITH RAZORS OR SUNSHINE. Valo is owned by Roces and Jon Julio. Empire is owned by Azikiwee Anderson.
