Tarihçe
Professional skateboarder Torey Pudwill founded the brand in 2001, initially producing handmade skateboard wax and griptape from his garage. It gained significant cultural traction through a strategic partnership with Nick Tershay of Diamond Supply Co., which facilitated its expansion into a full apparel line. The brand is historically significant for bridging the gap between hardware manufacturing and lifestyle fashion, influencing the visual language of early 21st-century skate-inspired streetwear through its recognizable graphic identity.
