Whatever happened to 3120

I’m not sure if I’m going crazy. I’m looking at a mid-00s skate magazine right now sponsored by a brand called 3120. I wouldn’t say it was all the rage back then, but it was a reasonably well known brand in skating and hip hop circles. Using ddg and qwant I couldn’t find a single relevant hit. Anyone remember?

Can't say I remember that brand. Ones that I can recall are Etnies, Es, Volcom, Birdhouse, Hook-ups, Independent, Tensor, Spitfire, Dynasty, Circa....

Those being back memories! Still have some old shirts that I refuse to throw out. How I loved my Tensor trucks with the “unbreakable” titanium king pin (not like it was an issue).

1320 makes more sense being the ft in a 1/4 mile , but idk!

That would make sense, but I remember a lot of people calling it “BIZO”

I don't use Instagram, but I found this with some pics of some 3120s

And here's another thing about them: https://www.aliexpress.com/p/wiki/article.html?keywords=3120-skate-shoes

And someone in 2005 who was looking for them but thinks the company disappeared

Not sure about the magazine though, sorry.
