Highsnobiety Feature – 25 Years of FTC

12 May 2011, 23.40 | Posted in Skateboarding | No comments »

FTC FEATURE MAIN PAGE Highsnobiety Feature   25 Years of FTC

In our latest feature, we catch up with Kent Uyehara of San Francisco label FTC to discuss their first 25 years in business.

1966 San Francisco was a trippy time and place. Flower children were protesting the war in Vietnam, hippies were dropping acid in Golden Gate Park and a Japanese businessman named Lloyd Uyehara had just opened a high-end ski and tennis distribution business called Free Trade Center or FTC at the corner of Bush and Franklin in the Van Ness Avenue corridor downtown. This unlikely set of circumstances laid the groundwork for what would become, more than half a century later, one of the most influential skateboard retail brands of all time.

Burton x FTC 3L Slick Jacket

Burton’s relationship with FTC dates back to 1984 when the shop first started selling Burton boards, helping to pioneer snowboarding in Northern California. 25 years later, the relationship is still going strong and this jacket commemorates the long-standing friendship between the two iconic brands and their dedication to snowboarding.

The jacket is perfect for biking the streets of San Francisco, spring riding in Tahoe, or just cruising around Tokyo. The smoke detailing zipper and inner lining pays tribute to the SF lifestyle, and the reflective 3M hits are crucial while riding a bike in the city.

The jacket goes for 225 USD and is available exclusively at FTC stores in San Francisco and Tokyo.
