The "Krooked" logo is incorporated seamlessly into the artwork, symbolizing the harmonious collaboration between the brand and the skater.
Krooked Skateboards was founded in 2002 by the legendary skateboarder and artist Mark "Gonz" Gonzales. Dissatisfied with the corporate direction of his previous sponsors, Gonzales sought to create a brand that authentically represented skateboarding culture. Operating under the Deluxe Distribution umbrella, Krooked is celebrated for its unique graphics, innovative deck shapes, and commitment to artistic expression within the skateboarding community. Gonzales's creative direction ensures that the brand maintains a distinctive identity, blending art and skateboarding seamlessly.
Kader Sylla, born in 2002 in San Fernando Valley, California, is a professional skateboarder known for his exceptional talent and style. He began skateboarding at a young age and quickly gained recognition for his technical skills and fearless approach. Sylla turned pro for Baker Skateboards and has since made significant contributions to the skateboarding scene through various video parts and collaborations. His partnership with Krooked for this guest deck exemplifies the mutual respect and admiration within the skateboarding community.
