Skateboards: mythical brands

Skateboards: mythical brands

Skateboarding is not only about practicing a sport, but nowadays, it has become a lifestyle and as a consequence and an identifying way of dressing. The great and mythical clothing brands understand that the style of skateboarding is formed by attitude but also by practicality, and this is what they offer through their clothing.

Skateboard clothing brands

As we have mentioned, practicing skateboarding is embarking on a lifestyle in particular, in which the way of dressing stands out, it is for this reason that we are going to comment on the best skatewear brands in the world:

  1. The first of these, and one of the probably best known brands that could not be missing from this list is Vans. In the 70s and as a result of the skateboard fever, Vans began to design new models of shoes to become the brand of choice for all skaters of a generation. This was the great beginning of the brand in this sport until today.
  2. Santa Cruz is the next brand we want to comment on. Like Vans, it is one of the most important and well-known brands created in 1973 by 3 friends who at the time made surfboards. It began as a brand specialized in the manufacture of skateboards creating iconic boards and graphics for them, which they later included in their clothing designs, thus being an ally for riders.
  1. Supreme stands out for selling through its lifestyle. It was created in 1994 by James Jebbia and was born out of to the passion for skateboarding of its founder. It is a brand influenced by urban culture and pop culture, and currently, it is known as a transgressive brand that creates its own trends by selling its products in a limited way and making collaborations that do not leave anyone indifferent.
  1. After moving to San Francisco, the famous New York skater Keith Hufnage founded the well-known brand HUF. Like Santa Cruz, it started out as a brand dedicated solely to the technical elements of skateboarding but due to its great success, it decided to expand its brand by creating its own line of clothing and products in 2002. After more than a decade since its creation, today HUF is a great independent brand of high quality skateboard clothing, sneakers and articles.
  1. The next brand we want to comment on is Palace, it is considered that this is the only brand that can compete with Supreme. Compared to the previous brands mentioned, Palace is a fairly recent brand since it was created in 2009 by Lev Tanju under the concept of creating clothes and accessories of the highest quality and design. Its adaptation in the market was natural and it was settling in skate and street-wear stores.

Skateboard brands logos

The brands, through their logo, have defined what skateboarding is today, defining an image and a specific aesthetic. Over the years, more minimalist logo designs have been created where the use of words predominates, specifically, the name of the brand through solid and thick fonts as we can see in brands such as Vans, Santa Cruz or Supreme. Also, it is important to highlight the use of other elements such as illustrations or geometric shapes as in the Palace logo. 

Skateboard shoes brands

Many of the brands that currently sell skateboard clothing also tend to sell shoes, it is for this reason that we are going to comment on the best shoe brands for skateboarding and complete your look. 

  1. We have to go back to talk first of the Vans brand and its Vans Sk8-Hi Casual Skate Shoes model. It is inspired by the Vans classic, Old Skool and is one of the most widely used shoe models thanks to the protection it offers through reinforcing the toe caps to withstand repeated use.
  2. The next shoe model that we want to discuss is the Adidas Seeley Skate Shoe. The Adidas brand has a large selection of skate shoes and the Seeley Skate Shoe model stands out above all, since it allows you to enjoy and take skateboarding to the next level thanks to its durability and resistance.
  1. And finally, we want to show you the DC Men’s Court Graffik Skate Shoes. A brand that has a specific line of products for skateboarding in which their shoes stand out thanks to their thick sole that allows great support and greater comfort. We highlight the DC Men’s Court Graffik Skate Shoes model because it meets all the requirements needed to enjoy a great day of skateboarding.
