Heroin

Raw, creative and uncompromising – this is how Heroin Skateboards has presented itself since its founding in 1998 by British skater and artist Mark ‘Fos’ Foster. The brand was born from the idea of thinking differently about skateboarding, away from trends and the mainstream.

Heroin immediately stands out with its idiosyncratic graphics and hand-drawn designs, which are deliberately unconventional, sometimes dark, but always full of personality. The deck shapes are also special: wide, oval shapes such as the ‘Egg’ boards offer a different riding experience and showcase the brand's innovative spirit.

Heroin is also known for its skate videos, including Good Shit (1999) and Video Nasty (2013), which underline the raw, authentic character of the brand. The international team – with riders such as Chris Pulman, Lee Yankou, Craig Scott and Anaiah Lei – stands for diversity, creativity and uncompromising street style.

Heroin Skateboards is more than a brand: it is a statement for independent skateboarding, for riders who draw their own lines, question boundaries and not only ride their boards, but live them.
