Mad Rock created new designs not copies.

You had me until you said this. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Let's at least be honest and acknowledge MR was a virtual budget ripoff machine where no design or design element was sacrosanct. Is that to say no innovation happened? No, but the mainstay of the business was always pretty damn clear to anyone who's been climbing for more than six months.

Edit: The new MR and CX should both aspire to better things.


This is just not true. When Young and Five ten split all shoes created for five ten was cut up and thrown away. Completely new designs were made for Mad Rock before it started selling anything. Climb X on the other hand are producing identical shoes with only logo change.

Addition: You are right in that Mad Rock started as a budget shoe. Mad Rock was the manufacturer. Our competive edge is cost, because we have no middle man, but what you said about knock off products isn't true.
