All the homies pulled up to show respect and congratulate him when the award was shared.
It turned into a simple but meaningful moment, with people acknowledging how rare it is for someone to stay connected with one brand for that long while still staying active in skating and continuing to release work over the years.
In skateboarding, it is more common to see riders switch sponsors or move in different directions as careers change, companies shift, or new opportunities come up.
That is why a long partnership like this stands out.
It reflects a steady working relationship between Appleyard and Globe that has lasted through different eras of skateboarding, trends, and industry changes.
Mark Appleyard also shared a post about it, saying:
“21 YEARS with @globebrand THANK YOU”
The message was simple and direct, but it summed up a long period of collaboration between both sides. Congrats to Appleyard and Globe!
