Jeff Grosso impact on skateboarding was unparalleled would be an understatement of how large a role he played. From curating content that highlighted the global skate community to his unique and raw commentary of the skate industry and mentoring up-and-coming athletes, there was nothing that he wouldn’t do to uplift skateboarding and the people around it. Provocateur and historian with a Cheshire Cat grin, Jeff Grosso was so well known for being audacious, sardonic, and usually right on the money that it’s easy to forget that he gained his name with badass inverts, powerful grinds, and contest success. To honor of Jeff’s incredible legacy, Vans have released a new iconic style engineered specifically for skateboarding: the Skate Grosso Mid. And be sure to look for the new checkerboard flag on the side to guarantee that you’re getting the best in style and modern skateboarding performance.
