Tony Hawk himself describes The Skatepark Project as "a nonprofit organization working to increase access to outdoor recreation and free play through the creation of safe and inclusive community skateparks." The shoes are accompanied by three apparel designs as well, including the Rip and Rework tee that is detailed with graphics that blend together a trippy checkerboard print and visuals of skateparks. The same pattern can be seen on the signature sneaker and it is rounded out by a typography logo 5-panel cap.
