The streets were talking about Think Skateboards coming back.
Old-school skaters were hyped, scrolling posts and wondering when they could finally get their hands on new decks.
The brand has always had that underground feel, and for many, it represents the boards they grew up skating.
But the comeback is not happening anytime soon.
As we previously reported, Greg S. Caroll put out a post saying the new owner should hit him up and connect with the rest of the original crew.

Even with that, the brand is stuck. Ownership issues have locked the boards in limbo, leaving the skate community hanging.
OG Mike Giant explained what is going on.
He said that the brand is owned by a woman who got it years ago through a divorce. Until she decides to sell it back to the original crew, nothing new is dropping. Decks, graphics, collabs, and everything is on hold.
Core heads who thought the relaunch was around the corner are going to have to wait.
For skaters who grew up riding Think, it is frustrating.
This brand is not just boards on a wall, it is part of a culture. Skaters remember the gnarly graphics, the style, and how it felt to ride a deck that carried that name.
Now the name is stuck in someone else’s hands, and the streets have to wait for it to come back to where it started.

Even if this takes a while, the hype has not died.
Skateboarders still talk about the old decks, the art, and the crew behind the boards.
Think may be paused for now, but when it finally comes back, it will be one of those returns that reminds everyone why it mattered in the first place.
