Premium King Skateboards decks and gear delivering innovative designs and elite-level street skating from Tyshawn Jones' brand.
Founded by two-time Thrasher Skater of the Year Tyshawn Jones and launched with his groundbreaking "Kingdom Come" video part in December 2022, King Skateboards quickly established itself as one of skateboarding's most exciting new brands. Their heavy-hitting team roster features some of street skating's most influential talents – including Jones himself alongside Nakel Smith and Zach Saraceno – riders who approach technical street terrain with the explosive power and style that resonates with Richmond's own approach to downtown spots. Up-and-coming talent like Junior Gutierrez rounds out a team that balances established star power with fresh perspectives. King's distinctive graphics program draws inspiration from royal iconography and cultural references, creating visual identities that stand apart in skateboarding's crowded marketplace. Their board construction delivers the premium performance you'd expect from a brand founded by one of skating's most technically demanding riders, with specifications that handle everything from the stairs and rails at the Manchester spots to the technical ledges throughout RVA. Beyond just decks, King's apparel line – from tees to hoodies – brings the same attention to design and quality that defines their hardgoods. Despite their rapid growth and high demand, King maintains the authentic street credibility that connects directly to the brand's founding vision. Venue proudly stocks King as part of our commitment to bringing Richmond skaters the most progressive and authentic brands driving skateboarding's constant evolution.
