Mark Gonzales, affectionately known as 'The Gonz', is considered to be the godfather of modern street skating. After picking up a board at the age of thirteen, he achieved legendary status when we completed the iconic trick coined 'The Gonz Gap' in 1986, eventually being named the most legendary skateboarder of all time by Transworld Skateboarding in 2011 and has skated for both Supreme and Adidas. Though he is considered royalty in the world of skateboarding, the Gonz's iconic influence stretches far beyond. Applauded for his artistic innovation and creativity, The Gonz has long standing collaborations with brands including Adidas, Supreme, Thrasher as well as RETROSUPERFUTURE, JanSport, and Etudes.
