Pro skater Ben Nordberg, who hails from Bath, England, appears in this editorial for The Block magazine, Issue #25. Photographed by Beau Grealy, this mostly black and white shoot, called 'Paranoid,' features the young skateboarding pro doing his thing -- and doing it with style and swagger.
Nordberg, who is sponsored by the likes of Vans Shoes, WeSC and Nueu Eyewear, dons clothing chosen by stylist James Worthington-DeMolet. With an attitude that is calm and cool, bordering on pensive, Ben Nordberg showcases a mix of dapper and laid-back styles, including the ultimate juxtaposition of a black tux jacket and jeans (as he holds his skateboard, of course) and much more casual pieces including a rocker tee, jeans and hoodie.
