This summer 2012 our youth staff are creating art & videos about skate brand corporate structure and researching support vs. exploitation of urban, youth, and black culture.
This includes core brands like Alien Workshop and Krooked, as well as brands like Airwalk and Nike

As of January 1, 2012 our organization declined any Nike donations or athletic sponsorships based on Nike's sweatshop practices internationally.
As of June 1, 2012 our organization will not accept Airwalk donations or athletic sponsorships.
