Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder T-Shirt

But despite the oftentimes fraught relationship between skating and fashion (designer Adler noted that he “didn’t want to do something [with the collection] that wasn’t true to skate culture”), Koston joked that the two communities might be more essentially enmeshed than the former would care to admit: “Even the skateboarder who portrays this image of not caring about how he looks in a way that’s him caring about how he looks!” He recalls a few of the greats he revered in the same way Adler admired him: “The pros I looked up to they were fewer pros [then], and they all had a different style or persona. Some were artsy and weird, this guy’s a rock star, this guy’s super dark and emo. But that defined those guys really well. You could always see what kid [was] a fan of what pro; that guy’s into Mark Gonzales, that guy’s into Christian Hosoi, with all the fancy flair.” Those fans hoping to tap into the Koston and Soulland look will have to act quickly, though it’s already well on its way to being completely sold out. The International Olympic Committee and Japan announced today that they have agreed to postpone this summer’s Tokyo Games. Safety comes first in the COVID-19 pandemic; if anything, the decision felt belated. Still, hearts broke around the world at the news. But not because the Games would’ve been a welcome distraction come late July, a date when all of us are hoping the worst of the coronavirus crisis is over, or at least well on the wave. It’s the years of effort put in by the athletes and the dreams dashed that’s so devastating. In particular I’m sad for the women skateboarders who would’ve had their first chance to compete for Olympic gold. The sport was to have made its debut in Tokyo, and my 11-year-old shredder and I were looking forward to watching the competition. Since the Olympics are postponed until next year and since we can’t make it down to the Lower East Side skate park where he practices his backside 180s off five-foot ledges (his words not mine) with the current stay-at-home rules, we’ve been revisiting this Vogue photo shoot from 2018, which starred the Olympic hopefuls Leo Baker, Jenn Soto, Alexis Sablone, and Mariah Duran, among others.
