Geschichte
Santa Cruz Skateboards was founded in 1973 by Richard Novak, Doug Haut, and Jay Shuirman in California. The brand became a pillar of the global skateboarding community through its distinctive graphic art by Jim Phillips. The collaboration with Puma, established during the 50th anniversary of the Puma Suede, highlights the historical intersection of athletic footwear and skate subculture. This partnership documents the transition of skate aesthetics from niche sport utility to mainstream fashion history.
