What Are Zoo York Shoes?
Zoo York Shoes were created out of inspiration that began in the early 1970s. “The Soul Artists of Zoo York sprang to life from Manhattan’s Riverside Park and built a thriving scene with aerosol, skateboards, block rockin’ beats, and originality at its core that quickly took on a life of its own and became an unstoppable global force,” according to the official Zoo York website. The name was inspired from a man named Marc Andre Edmonds, a New York City artist, who dubbed the name for a subway tunnel underneath Central Park Zoo where graffiti crews would mark their territory at night by tagging the walls in the 1960s and 1970s.
