Vision Street Wear

Vision Street Wear is a seminal skateboarding brand defined by bold graphic patterns and oversized logos. It represents the intersection of skate culture, punk rock, and early street style. The brand's ethos focuses on the rebellious and creative energy of the 1980s underground skate scene.

Fashion History

Founded in 1976 by Brad Dorfman, the brand emerged from Vision Skateboards to address the specific apparel needs of skaters. It gained cultural significance in the 1980s by sponsoring influential athletes like Mark Gonzales and Natas Kaupas. The label played a pivotal role in fashion history by integrating skate aesthetics into mainstream youth culture. Its use of neon colors and geometric prints established a visual language that influenced subsequent streetwear movements and athletic footwear design.
