Skateboarding isn’t just a sport—it’s a movement that has left its mark on fashion, music, and urban culture. At the forefront of this transformation are skateboarding legends who not only pushed the boundaries of what’s possible on a board but also helped shape the very essence of street style. Let’s dive into the icons who’ve made skateboarding and street culture inseparable.
Skateboarding turned into an amazing recreational, artistic sport. Skateboarding today goes way beyond just a sport; it’s a way of life. A variety of clothing styles that go with skateboarding, some may call it street culture, urban, or hip-hop fashion. Skateboarding has affected the fashion industry and paved the way for a whole new style of clothing.
The 90’s were all about flashy yet laidback fashion, which consisted of everything from oversized t-shirts to baggy jeans. One of those fashion styles is slowing making a comeback and that is the Skater Style. It was in the 90’s when the skate culture and its fashion style truly got its moment to shine.
The ritual of jumping on a twenty-eight-inch piece of wood and four tiny wheels is like religion to some, but you don’t need to nail a kickflip to understand the allure of skating. Like surfing, it’s an act of spiritual freedom. Plus, the clothing is dope.
