Inspired
by New York Citys unforgiving streets and colorful
weave of global flavors, a tight-knit crew of
progressive minds, who lived and breathed NYCs
raw creative energy, found themselves in the midst
of a unique social movement. Springing from Manhattans
Riverside Park, the Soul Artists of Zoo York built
a thriving scene with aerosol, skateboards, block
rockin beats, and originality.
It
quickly took on a life of its own and became an
unstoppable global force that became too big for
the boroughs of New York to hold alone.

By
the dawn of the 80s, the term Zoo York had come
to symbolize NYCs underground: the artists, b-boys,
skateboarders, punks, and all their various creative
offshoots. Graf writers bombed trains, DJs mastered
the wheels of steel, skateboarders staked their
claim on legendary urban playgrounds, and all
in the name of the Zoo.
Fused
by the evolving skateboarding, graffiti, punk,
and hip hop scenes, Zoo York dominated the skateboard
industry by producing Zoo York skate shoes, Zoo
York apparel, Zoo York skateboards, Zoo York bags,
and Zoo York accessories. Siphoning creative inspiration
from NYCs rapidly evolving skateboarding, hip-hop,
and graffiti scenes, Zoo York continues to produce
a variety of culturally relevant, authentic products
that are dark and gritty like New York City itself.
Zoo York is backed strongly by the Zoo Crew, which
includes original Zoo York graffiti artists, designers,
musicians, new and old school skateboards, and
some of the biggest names in surf, snow, BMX,
and motocross communities.
Continuing
their grass roots tradition that started in the
urban landscapes of NYC, Zoo York skate shoes,
hoodies, shirts, bags, and skateboards are some
of the most sought after in the market.
From
its roots as an East Coast lifestyle brand, Zoo
York has evolved into a globally recognized powerhouse
brand, with the likes of professional skateboarders
Donny Barley, Kevin Taylor, and Anthony Shetler
reppin' the brand. So whether youre a graf head,
hip hop/b boy, skateboarder, hardcore punk, or
anything in between, the Zoo has something for
you. Breathe tradition in your life with Zoo York.
