Retail Buyers Guide: Skate Footwear F/W 2026 Retail Buyer’s Guide
Brand: Fishing Lines Worldwide
Interviewee: Owner/founder Michaël Mackrodt
Current market is kind of hard for the small brands as the big brands can produce so much that they will always have many models on SALE which makes prices from small brands more unattractive I guess.
Production got a bit better for me but tax and shipping exploded so in the end everything got more expensive indeed. I still try to keep the price as low as possible to make the brand attractive for people that are willing to try something really made independently by skateboarders.
My collection remains simple yet classic with thoughtful details. I personally like my accessories simple and stylish. Less is more and I try to apply this philosophy when it comes to footwear as well.
I have a few collapsing mind for the next collections but want to keep it secret for now. I’m not a fan of talking before things are really going to happen. But there are definitely some brands, shops, people I want to work with.
The design of my new collection is a bit more skate oriented that my previous one. I wanted to come back to classical, timeless skate shoes. Nicely shaped on a grippy rubber sole. Just all you need to perform on your skateboard. There’s classical lace up models and slip on that also performs really well in my opinion so I’m really stoked to share my products.
There are no pro models in sight for now but I really look forward to present a sustainable model in the future. IT s juts not always easy because sustainable on paper is not always really more sustainable in reality as sustainable shoes tend to fall apart quicker if skated daily. So we’re figuring this part out and hopefully will have a nice model or at least a version of an existing model.
Must have styles are all 3 models of course 😉
