The Krooked Deck Tom Knox "Tom's Brain" (8.5") is a distinctive skateboard deck that combines artistic flair with high-quality craftsmanship, reflecting both the brand's unique aesthetic and Tom Knox's creative input.
The bottom features a vibrant and abstract design, central to which is a stylized profile of a human head rendered in bold black lines. Inside the head, the words "MY BRAIN" are inscribed, suggesting a glimpse into the skater's mind. Surrounding the profile are dynamic, multicolored patterns that evoke a sense of creativity and spontaneity. The "Krooked" logo is subtly integrated into the design, maintaining brand recognition without overpowering the artwork.
Krooked Skateboards was founded in 2002 by the legendary skateboarder and artist Mark "Gonz" Gonzales.

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.
