Zoo York, well known for their [logo hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-boot), always tries to represent their hometown, [New York City](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bergdorf-goodmans), and has done so quite beautifully in their latest series of [skateboard decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stevie-williams1), titled ‘Sky High.’

The decks feature a series of photos of New York, taken from a bird’s eye view, showing off the architecture and skyscrapers the city is so well known for.

The black and white photos nicely depict five different areas of NYC, from the Manhattan bridge to the Statue of Liberty and everything in between.
