Fashion has long been obsessed with skateboarding, with the preoccupation increasing over the past few years. Every season, authentic gear is dragged from Skate shops into fashion spaces. Biting streetwear Style isn’t anything new. There have been posers in Thrasher hoodies for decades and it won’t stop anytime soon. But, skaters being signed with major modeling agencies and the collaborations between legit high fashion brands and streetwear labels is part of a spanking new type of remixing.

Still, when it comes to true skate style, people have to look to the athletes who are actually shredding and not models who picked up boards just for the runway. Thanks to Instagram, you can keep up with skaters in real time, instead of having to wait for a monthly mag. Here’s the best part: skaters don’t use Instagram the way that calculated influencers do. There are no #OOTD posts. Instead, their accounts are curious hybrids of average social media user detritus and extreme skate YOLOness. They show tricks, which keeps skating fresh, but, they also blanket their accounts with pictures of their crew and the people they are dating and their families. Very few of the shots are professionally composed, save on accounts of skaters who are also visual artists and like, fooling around with photography. Instead, followers get raw style.

The following rippers are not only some of the best people to ride a deck; they also have a steez worth biting.

Ben Nordberg

Ben Nordberg is a controversial addition to the list. On one hand, he’s an obvious choice because he is a pro-skater and a signed model with IMG. On the other, his modeling work has made a lot of other rippers question whether Nordberg can even be considered a skater anymore. A UK native, Nordberg earned a spot on the elite Flip team (Bob Burnquist is a pro member of the team, which is important because he’s a God.). He is sponsored by brands like Spitfire, Vans, and Mob Grip, while he models for H&M, American Eagle, and DKNY. Although his appearance is totally propelling his modeling career, it would be a mistake to overlook the impact of his skate style. Known for his relaxed rides, Nordberg is completely laid back when he does his tricks — his mien displaying the same indifference one expects on models striding the runway.

His is the only Instagram on this list that’s composed in the expected manner for a style influencer. In one image, he is chilling with Cara Delevingne. In another, he is thanking Gucci for a pullover. Sandwiched between are video clips of tricks. However, whereas other skaters pics with their teammates feel like something your cousin would post, Nordberg has black and white stills that look like 90s Calvin Klein ads. It’s slick.

Blondey McCoy

Some of the people on this list exemplify the classic California skate style. Blondey McCoy is not one of them. A founding member of the Palace Wayward Boys Choir, a UK collective of creatives and skateboarders, he has been instrumental in celebrating grimy, raw British skateboarding. He’s even got the PWBC tattoo to prove it.

McCoy is the most well-known face of popular brand Palace, as he models as well as skates for them. But, he is also an artist and clothing designer who helms his own label, Thames. He attributes his creative work entirely to discovering skateboarding. It’s all a vehicle for self-expression. His Instagram highlights all of his loves. There are his style staples: the gold tooth, the signet rings, the tracksuit. Mad love is given to Palace, Adidas, and Thames (not a big surprise). Images of his art are also frequent additions; he does a lot of collages using vintage smut. Style aside, perhaps the best reason to follow him is that he posted a Caravaggio painting and wrote “What a cheeky git.” Awesome.

Jim Greco

During his Baker Bootleg phase in the late 90s, he pulled elements of punk into his street fashion, challenging the baggy norms of the scene. By 2001, he was representing the Piss Drunx crew on the pages of Rolling Stone. This notorious group of skaters were known for their heavy drinking and drug use as much as they were for their unorthodox skate style. Greco wasn’t just dressing punk, he was living it. His style then began transitioning into glam territory, which included heels and drag.

You don’t need to excel at web searches to quickly find pics of this skate legend looking like one of the New York Dolls; he had a fabulous collection of scarves. But, these are just moments on this ripper’s style continuum, which also includes tattooed thug and mod rocker. Right now, his flow is late 70s man about town, with an emphasis on wide leg polyester trousers and button downs that sport huge collars. It’s not unusual for his Instagram to feature videos and pics of him skating in a suit and tie. Like many of the others on the list, he is also a musician and an artist; he crafts screen printed boards for his brand Hammer and documents his artistic process for followers as well.

Sean Pablo

It wouldn’t be possible to put together a list of stylish skaters without including Sean Pablo, skater, artist and clothing designer. He’s been in the public eye since he was featured as a new face in Supreme’s first full-length video, Cherry, which some people credit with jumpstarting fashion’s recent love affair with skate style. He was the one with the tidy hair, the short pants, and the nail polish.

Four years later, Pablo is still a style standout. Over 6 feet tall and rail thin, he’s built like a model and that’s probably why he leans more toward the wardrobe of a rock star than a skater. He tucks his shirt in, loves old school Chuck Taylors, and keeps his pants belted at the waist. His clothing line PARADIS3 is all classic skate staples — tees, jerseys, sweatshirts, beanies, and dickies jackets, but he is equally likely to wear things from thrift stores. His Instagram features his photography and pictures of his crew (Jason Dill’s “F.A. Kids”).

Expect a lot of Sage Elsesser, who is also a style king.

Brian Anderson

Young skaters don’t have the monopoly on steez. Though Anderson turned pro in 1998, he is still one of the best in the industry and a fashionable dude. He hit the scene with his head shaved clean and a loose fit flannel shirt. He rode aggressive, attacking staircases and gaps and knocked out signature flip tricks. Still, he skates powerfully. Currently sponsored by Spitfire, Bones, Independent, Anti Hero Skateboards, and Nike SB, he also worked as a contributing designer for Girls Skateboards.

Anderson has only been on Instagram since March, but followers can already catch sight of a Supreme terry cloth crew neck, some red tartan pants, and a bunch of classic tees and snapbacks. It’s no surprise that his current clothing and accessory collection for Nike started with a hockey jersey, as they have always been staples of his style. A longtime a fan of the huge logos of 80s Nike gear, the ripper made sure to repeat that on his designs for the company. Anderson has also designed shoes for Nike. His first, the Project BA, was a low-cut shoe that looked more like a runner than a traditional skate shoe. In addition to a ton of throwback pics to his style of yore, Anderson’s Instagram also has many, many adorable pics of his husband.

Eli Reed

Eli Reed is straight east coast, and he has never fit the traditional skater mold. The son of an art teacher, he committed to doing everything in an expressive way early in life. Unlike some of the people on this list who carefully curate a look with attention to detail and coordination, Reed lets his emotions dictate his appearance; the man is sensitive. This means he is as likely to rock a suit as he is to wear the same clothes two days in a row and roll like the dirty skate rat he is. Like many of the other skaters on this list, he started his own clothing line.

Because of his close relationship with the company, the Eli Reed brand was exclusively available through Supreme when it launched. That’s no longer the case. The brand has traction outside the skating world; Rihanna was spotted in one of his designs. Reed counts Converse, Diamond, Supreme, and Venture among his sponsors. But, never forget the time that he was sponsored by the Tenga Sex Toy. Tenga is really dope; they have partnered with Opening Ceremony and Anti Social Social Club in the past. It may be impossible to follow him on Instagram and not be utterly charmed by his pink Chuck Taylors or his granny turban.

David González

It’s not unusual for a skateboarder to look like he or she should be fronting a band, but Columbian born David González is the only major ripper who looks like his band would spend all night rocking Slayer. He is the lead guitarist for Rattblack, an independent thrash metal band. His Instagram is full of fitted black jeans, bandanas, band tees, and backwards snapbacks, and his signature long hair is pure metal.

González is a skateboarding phenom who learned to ride on a secondhand board. By 11, he was winning national competitions, and at 13, he was supporting his family on checks from Flip and Globe, who make his signature shoe. In 2012, he was Thrasher’s Skater of the Year. He is known for his assertive approach to street and tranny skating (his transition skills are legend), as well as his love of partying. His Instagram is straight skate, rock, and pitbulls.

“Black Dave” Willis

Dave Willis is no stranger to new monikers, going alternately by Black Dave, Black Bart, and Black Punk. Straight out of the Bronx, NY, he considers himself an outsider, as he was the only one in his neighborhood on a board. He prides himself on continuing to do what he wants without conforming to notions of what is cool, which has served him well in his transition from skater to rapper to punk rock singer. New York is a huge influence on his street style and his skate style. He’s a beast.

At one point, Willis was sponsored by Supreme and working in their store. Now, he rides for Zoo York (the first to pick him up), Skullcandy, Shake Shack, and El Senor, a NY jewelry brand. He borrows from hip hop (man loves a bucket hat), classic punk rock, and skater style. His gear is always immaculate and coordinated; plus, he is as likely to rock Gucci as he is Thrasher.

Lacey Baker

When some of the top skateboarders in the world met up to compete for the title of Street League Super Crown World Champion in 2016, Lacey Baker crushed it and walked away with the women’s title, which opened the door for her to enter some sponsorship deals. She’s now a member of the Nike skate team. This is in addition to existing relationships, like those she has with Meow Skateboards, Pawnshop, Spitfire, Mob, and Indy. Baker is super androgynous; her style is heavily influenced by queer culture, which she references as a reason she prefers short hair (it’s buzzed clean right now) and masculine dress.

Baker’s Instagram account highlights her love of monochromatic outfits in black, white, and grey, as well as her affinity for simple pieces. She likes basics, but alters almost every garment she wears, from cropping pants to hemming tees. There are also a ton of pictures of her cat, always a bonus.
