"It all began in the early 70's in the undisputed center of the universe, New York City.

Championed by a tight-knit crew of progressive minds who lived and breathed NYC's raw creative energy, a unique social movement began to take root that was strongly influenced by New York's unforgiving streets and colourful weave of global flavours. The Soul Artists of Zoo York sprang ro life from Manhattan's Riverside Park and built a thrivingscene with skateboards, block rockin' beats, and originality at its core that quickly took on a life of its own and became an unstoppable global force. By the dawn of the 80's, the term Zoo York had come to firmly symbolise NYC's underground sect of artists, skateboarders, punks, and their various off-shoots.

In 1993, OG skateboarders Rodney Smith, Eli Morgan Gessner and Adam Schatz teamed up to found the East Coast's first true skateboarding-inspired lifestyle brand - ZOO YORK. The trio siphoned creative inspiration from NYC's rapidly evolving skateboarding, hip-hop and graffiti scenes to produce a variety of culturally relevant products that were dark and gritty like New York City.

Today, Zoo York is a highly evolved, globally recognised brand with an unbreakable East COast attitude and dialect. As it has since day one, Zoo York's product line continues to be heavily influenced by skateboarding, graffiti, hip-hop, punk, and everything in between. The company continues to be backed strongly by the Zoo Crew which includeds original NYC graffiti artists, designers, musicians, and new and old school skateboarders."
