Labor Skate Shop

Labor Skate Shop has been part of Downtown Manhattan since 2012, and it works as a proper hub for the skateboarding community. Beyond the boards and clothing, it's known for mentorship and for being a safe space for younger skaters.

The edit leans indie and niche. Its most distinctive labels are It's Violet, Stunt, Thesa, Vinyl Skateboards and Coda, with Asics Skateboarding, Bronze 56k, Carpet Company, Palace and New Balance Numeric adding a more familiar streetwear side. It's a skate and streetwear shop first, and a good place to spend an afternoon browsing.
