Same brand but had a big falling away when skating lost popularity.
Stopped sponsoring riders and it looks like they stopped employing designers - they still carry the same designs that I was wearing in 1988.
They have been going in the US, but stopped shipping in the UK.
Looks like they are trying to restart operations over here. But for a different market - if you shop online now, you will find them being sold in ASOS and Topman.2007 Felt Q720 (the ratbike)

I've bought a couple of pairs of their boots lately - £15 from there
they're very poor quality in comparison of old. I remember my old visions were bomb proof and used to take ages to wear through from the griptape. the new ones I've got haven't lasted 6 months of general wear and tear0 -
Saw this when I was in the other day, brought back memories of my old Vision Jinx.0

My first vert board was a Vision Jason Danforth. I also had a Vision Jason Lee street deck at one point.
Wore a VSW flame jumper and some yellow and black cow-print boots too.

Sports Direct do a great line in shite with formally good brand names on Airwalk & Karrimor are the first that spring to mind. Used to love my Airwalks in the 90's got a pair from sports direct and they only lasted about 4 months.Saracen Tenet 3 - 2015 - Dead - Replaced with a Hack Frame

If Sports Direct are selling them then I'd imagine that they are yet another brand that Ashley has hoovered up and is "re-born" to suit his pile it high/sell it cheap to gullible badge merchants methods. See also Kangol, New Balance, Karrimor, Lonsdale etc.etc.Trail fun - Transition Bandit

They might be poor quality but I'd be seriously tempted if the bring out the old black board shorts or a white t shirt with the big logo' might need a larger size than I used to have!!pity those who don't drink, the way they feel when they wake is the best they will feel all day
