Red Skate Culture

Bookish and understated, Red Skate offers a glimpse into Chicago's local skate culture, exploring the sport through art, photography and community in order to ‘create a broader vision of the culture’.This third issue is presented in a protective plastic cover with metallic accents throughout the design, and includes features on the city's skate aesthetic, a trip to a skate school on the Southside, a studio tour with local sculptor Olivia Zubko and an interview with a former board shop owner, neatly interspersed amongst ‘galleries’ of local skaters performing various tricks around Illinois—kickflips, ollies, back nosegrinds et al.
