Black jean shorts built for hot sessions with the perfect blend of durability and ventilation.
Black jorts have made their triumphant return to skateboarding, and for good reason – they deliver the durability of denim with the breathability necessary for Richmond's sweltering summers. Venue's collection features options that balance function with that distinctive cut-off aesthetic that's become inseparable from modern skate style. Polar's relaxed-fit black denim shorts bring that European roominess that's essential for unrestricted movement, with enough thigh space to execute proper fliptricks without fabric binding. Dickies offers their classic work short DNA translated into black denim with reinforced stitching that won't blow out when you're charging spots at Texas Beach or Manchester. These aren't pristine fashion shorts – they're purpose-built for the specific abuses of skateboarding, with many featuring raw, unfinished hems that wear in rather than wear out. Beyond surviving abuse, black jorts hide the evidence of your sessions – grease stains from parking lot skating, concrete marks from street bails, and the general grit that comes from pushing through Richmond's varied terrain. Our selection spans from slightly longer lengths that protect from grip tape to shorter cuts for maximum mobility, all with skateboarding-specific details like deeper pockets that actually secure your stuff while skating and reinforced stress points. Pair them with tall socks for that unmistakable skate silhouette that works as well for filming downtown as it does for all-day DIY sessions.
