A total miscalculation on my part, LEGENDMTB. In preparation for this I checked when Kovarik was wearing the Intense version and when he, Hill and Rennie began wearing Five Ten branded version and came up with 2001 for the Intense, 2005 for Five Ten. So it's more like 18-ish years for the Intense (which is what is pictured in your image link) and 13, coming up on 14 years for the Five Ten Impact. Not sure why I settled on ten years… My apologies for the error!
While checking the facts I came across [this good piece outlining the history](https://www.vitalmtb.com/product/feature/A-Sticky-Rubber-History,33) by none-other than Seb Kemp.
