Zoo York

Unlike many skateboard brands that emerged from California's surf and skate culture, Zoo York was born in the gritty, urban landscape of NYC. With this unique edge and authenticity, Zoo York products often feature bold, graffiti-inspired graphics that pay homage to their origins in the 1970s graffiti crew "The Soul Artists of Zoo York." Additionally, Zoo York skateboards are known for their high-quality construction and durability, making them a favourite among serious skaters. The brand's commitment to representing the true spirit of New York City sets it apart, offering a distinct, urban aesthetic that resonates with skaters who appreciate both style and substance.

 




Background of Zoo York Skateboards

NEW YORK CITY. THE 1970S. A gang of graffiti-writing skateboarders led by Mark 'Ali' Edmunds started a crew called 'The Soul Artists of Zoo York'. They gained respect throughout the five boroughs for bombing subways with spray paint as well as bombing hills on their skateboards.

 

The Evolution of Zoo York Skateboards

By 1993, a new generation of New York City kids had taken over. Tired of being overlooked by the California-centered skateboard industry, and with the blessing of the original Zoo York crew, Rodney Smith, Eli Morgan Gesner, and Adam Schatz set out to disrupt skateboarding. They made the first skateboard brand to represent New York City in its very name. Starting with skateboard decks and t-shirts from a grimy warehouse in Lower Manhattan, the brand quickly grew to be an international streetwear sensation.
