Celebrity gossip (kevin Jorgesson using la sportiva)

I swear all i see Kevin wearing in Yosemite are the TC pro's, wtf is going on there? I get the shoes are pretty much made for the dawn wall but it seems really weird that a five ten athlete isn't wearing five ten.

Slow day across the pond, bloke?

I mean...he famously climbed the Dawn Wall with Tommy in them, so I'm pretty sure the cat's long out of the bag. Sean McColl also wore Geniuses on American Ninja Warrior after signing with Scarpa...endorsement deals seem to be hinged on you marketing and pushing the product, but whenever people are seriously concerned about performance, suddenly the Sportivas pop out...

From KJ's Facebook page:

"Off to China to design a brand new Five Ten shoe specifically for your big Yosemite dream climbs. I know how I want it to perform...what do you look for? Keep an eye"

Guess he heard your criticism.

Lol. Bet he's bringing his TC Pros with him. "Make this!"
