1980s Airwalk Skull & Cross Bones Sticker
Size: 3.5” x 4”
Airwalk was started in 1986 by George Yohn. Before launching Airwalk, Yohn had made several attempts at capitalizing on the athletic shoe market. As detailed in Forbes magazine, "One of his designers noticed a sport that had yet to be exploited by a sneaker company: skateboarding."
Yohn quickly designed a specialized shoe with generous amounts of material plastered over it to ensure durability. He named the shoe after a trick called the ollie airwalk. With this trick, a rider's feet spring off the board and go sideways while he grabs the nose of the board.
Marketed directly to skateboarders, Airwalk shoes became a hot item.
