Cordano Russell has officially turned pro for Toy Machine, and it honestly couldn’t feel more right.
After years of putting in serious work, handling rails that most skaters only dream about, and steadily building a reputation through raw talent and consistent footage, Russell finally has his name on a board.
Toy Machine Skateboards made the announcement with their usual twisted sense of humor, talking about scientific experiments and credit card loyalty.
If you have been watching him over the past few years, you saw this coming. Russell has been on a steady rise, making appearances in heavy skate videos, turning heads at major events, and catching the eye of Thrasher more than once.
His style is powerful but smooth and calculated. There is a seriousness to the way he approaches skating, but it is always grounded in a love for the streets.
Russell’s promotion is not just a reward. It is recognition. It is the acknowledgment that he has been skating at a professional level for a long time, and now he is officially getting the credit he deserves.
His name on that Toy Machine board means something, and fans everywhere are ready to get their hands on it.
This is a big moment, not just for Cordano, but for skateboarding as a whole. Seeing someone who has put in the time and stayed true to themselves finally get that stamp of approval is something worth celebrating.

"It is with great pleasure that we welcome Cordano Russell to the professional ranks of the Toy Machine bloodsucking skateboard company. This choice does not come lightly, as every pro on the Toy Machine team throughout history has proven themselves more than worthy through rigorous scientific testing and vetting until they are perfectly optimized in the mission of brainwashing, er, mobilizing an automaton battalion (at the beck and call of the benevolent overlord) of loyal pawns whose collective credit cards are weaponized toward the purpose of purchasing Toy Machine products exclusively and in perpetuity for the remainder of their lives. We await your capitulation. And congratulations Cordano. You are one incredible skateboarder and human and we are all excited to see what you’re gonna do in the future."
