W3 and Vantage websites do share a lot of similarities...

[Number4]

Has anyone got any proof of this?

I'd say this May be a hint.

A hint, but not exactly proof.

W stands for wills?

Could be co-incidence but Ian wills website and w3 website were built and are managed by the same person.

Someone with the ability to search company details, and domain registry details needed.

Let me stress, I've had a couple of smooth & fine dealings with Ian - but just putting the background out there for those who want to make up their own mind.

Another Ian Wills project. Does he still run Vantage?

Tom has a lot of inside knowledge of the industry and on this occasion I'd tend to believe him...

That's just me though.

@ianwills88 = founder of w3 footwear

Yes Ian started the company but has since sold it.

[Sam]

Yes Ian started the company but has since sold it.

Websites still registered to him which is a bit weird then, is he kind of letting someone else run it like vantage then?

Look like knock off pumas too me in colour scheme.

Regardless of who owns/runs the firm, They look dreadful.

I have heard from the horse's mouth that Ian Wills no longer owns the business.  He sold it recently.

This thread has also served a very useful purpose.  Usually in my experience, if the forum doesn't like a product / doesn't think it will sell, it ends up flying out the door.  As you guys don't like the shoes, we are certainly going to stock them now!

They sponsor Kevin o Brien of Ireland and a few club players in northern Ireland. I quiet like the design
