Історія моди
Founded in 1993 by Rodney Smith, Eli Morgan Gesner, and Adam Schatz, Zoo York emerged as the first major East Coast skateboarding brand. It derived its name from a 1970s graffiti crew known as the Soul Artists of Zoo York. The brand played a pivotal role in documenting New York City's unique intersection of skate and hip-hop cultures. Its commercial success helped transition niche skate aesthetics into the broader global streetwear market during the late 1990s.
