Johnson had left Lakai, which he&#8217;d ridden for since 2002. Similarly, Daewon had left DVS, his shoe sponsor since 1996.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement arrived via adidas&#8217; new full-length film,\u00a0<em>Away Days<\/em>, and blindsided the Lakai camp, Mike Carroll included. Yesterday, <em>Jenkem<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jenkemmag.com\/home\/2016\/05\/17\/mike-carroll-on-the-future-of-crailtap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">published an interview<\/a> in which Carroll\u00a0called Johnson a liar, saying that while he\u00a0knew he was going to adidas he had denied his move would be announced at the premiere.<\/p>\n<p>As Johnson told\u00a0<em>The Skateboard Mag<\/em>\u00a0at Saturday&#8217;s New York City screening \u2014 three days before the <em>Jenkem<\/em> interview was published \u2014 the move was not driven by money (though, as Carroll said, he took two consecutive pay cuts from Lakai). Instead, he explained, it owes to a series of factors.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At some point, the bullsh*t wears thin,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You&#8217;ve got ideas, and when you outrun the company and you&#8217;ve got all these ideas and the company can&#8217;t keep up? It&#8217;s ridiculous. You just talk to somebody who&#8217;s willing to do these projects, [someone] who is progressive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Daewon says his move was prompted in part by\u00a0changes in ownership\u00a0at DVS.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were just in limbo,&#8221; he told <em>The Skateboard Mag<\/em>.\u00a0&#8220;I didn&#8217;t know anybody there any more.
