Former Piss Drunx triple OG Jim Greco stands as an influential figure whose passion for street skating has spanned decades.

Greco's expedition is not only etched in the concrete of iconic skate spots but also in the evolution of his choice of footwear.

As he reflects on his early years, Greco shares the nostalgic story of his first shoe with Vans and the exciting development of his own skate shoe company, Hammers.

During his youth, Greco navigated the gnarly terrain of skateboarding with a reliable companion on his feet—the Hammer Vans.

These shoes became interchangeable with his valiant style and relentless pursuit of conquering some of the most challenging skate spots.
