Straight from New York, known for their eye-catching socks, there is now the new skateboarding brand Chrystie NYC. Chrystie's goal is to keep the skateboarding scene and urban culture creative and exciting, worldwide. They achieve this through their unique designs. The clothing and socks have striking colours, with an occasional pop art influence.
The atmosphere of Chrystie NYC clearly reflects the New York skateboarding scene. Officially, the name Chrystie comes from one of the most famous streets in NYC, in the heart of the Lower East Side, where New York's most young and vibrant neighbourhoods meet. So the skateboarding scene is big here too.
Photographer Pep Kim and the pro of Poler Skate Co. Aaron Herrington founded Chrystie together, sharing a passion for their city New York. The Chrystie team consists of Aaron Herrington, Richie Rizzo, Josh Wilson, Nate Pezzillo and John Baragwanath.
