There will also be limited edition t-shirts each with an iconic image of them reminding us of the legacy that they have given to the world of skateboarding!   Drake_Jones_Adidas_Respect_Your_Roots_T-shirt   drake-jones-sf   Seen as a street skating pioneer, San Francisco's Drake Jones was one of the most iconic skateboarders of the nineties, paving the way for how the modern day scene and street skating culture has come to evolve. Check out his section from Real Skateboards 'Non Fiction' from 1997, or even his small part in the Spitfire wheels video - Spitfire from 1993 and you can see that same style of skating street, whether its hitting a set of stairs or doing a technical line on blocks or ledges has surely been influenced by Drake. Although now retired you can still see his legacy within today's skateboarding. Drake has still been involved with the skateboarding scene, from working at Black Box distribution, interviews in magazines, various web clips and now his latest work with Adidas skateboarding.     Drake-Jones-Adidas-Superstars-
