Professional skateboarder Anthony Shetler has been staying busy with a mix of skating, building projects through his brand ALL I NEED SKATE, and spending time with World Industries.
He has been involved with shaping ideas around new gear for World Industries, a long-running skate brand known for its classic graphics and skater-led approach to making shoes and boards.
The company has been around since the late 80s and is built around skaters creating products for other skaters rather than outside designers doing all the work.
Recently, attention has been on a new set of core skate shoes linked to the World Industries line.
Shetler shared a look at them online, giving core heads a first glimpse of the design. The shoes lean into a simple skate-focused build, the kind of setup meant for daily skating rather than fashion-first thinking.
On social media, he kept it short and excited about it, posting:
“Got some new World Industries shoes!
”
World Industries has always had a reputation for mixing gnarly graphics with practical skating gear, and this release keeps that same direction going.
Shetler’s involvement also connects to his long history in skating, where he has moved between riding, creative projects, and helping develop products that reflect real skate use rather than trends.
His work with ALL I NEED SKATE has built a strong following too, especially among people who like brands that feel directly tied to skating rather than mass retail direction.
For many skaters, seeing someone like Shetler tied into a new shoe release adds interest because it suggests the product has been tested with real skating in mind.
It also keeps World Industries visible in a space that is always changing, where old names either fade out or come back with new teams and ideas.
