Tyshawn Jones for Hypebeast Magazine Issue 37What’s next for Tyshawn Jones after reaching skate’s elite? His own skatepark. One Louis Vuitton deal. Two Skater of the Year titles. Three brands. Tyshawn Jones was built for the throne. For the first of three covers from Hypebeast Magazine 37: The Architects Issue, writer Christian N. Kerr meets Jones at a turning point. Fresh off announcing his own skatepark, he reflects on the climb from downtown New York to the top of the skate game, and what it means to build something that lasts. His trajectory has been as explosive as his skating. When headlines hit around a lawsuit tied to his reported million-dollar deal with Supreme, Jones kept it simple: “I’ve taken it farther than I ever thought I would. I have my own skatepark. I own eight houses. I’m healthy. My family is taken care of. I couldn’t care less.” This is Tyshawn Jones now. A skate legend in motion. A businessman with intent. An architect shaping his own blueprint. Click the link for the full story and to purchase our latest print.
