Skateboarding is an Olympic sport & it shows

For the first time in history This year, skateboarding is an Olympic sport for the first time in the competition's history. But as well as the sport itself being accepted into the fray, we're seeing labels and designers like Vans, Parra, Nike SB (which is sponsoring four federations and 19 athletes in Tokyo), as well as smaller skate outfits like Blind, Toy Machine and April Skateboards at the Olympics for the very first time. It's huge for the sport, and it's huge for brands peddling the aesthetic. No matter who comes out top in terms of medals at this year's competition, skateboarding has already won the thing on style. Below, we've put together four of the best skate fits from the contenders so far. ● OUR FAVORITE OLYMPIC SKATE FITS Despite placing fourth at the Men's Street competition, Milou's clean look was a stark reminder of what we'd been missing at the Games. Leal just brought a silver medal to Brazil, but you might remember her from Vine, the defunct platform on which she found viral fame via a heelflip in fairy wings aged just 7. Safe to say, she's still at it. Nishiya is only 13 years old and she won gold! That Nike SB x Parra official Olympics tee she has on has already sold out pretty much everywhere, but we found one on StockX — a signifier of the big waves both Nishiya and the sport's first Games are making. Didal may have missed out on a medal, but her bright orange cargos put her on the podium of standout looks. She'll be remembered for her attitude, too, stating on the sidelines that "We’re here for each other. We cheer for each other, that’s what skateboarding is.” It's a gold from us.
