Editorial Review

Starting as a sports trade store in the 80’s, FTC (Free Trade Center) is now a legend with stores in native SF, Sacramento and Japan. Stocking a wide variety of skateboard decks, trucks, wheels, mags, clothing and shoes you’re likely to find FTC sponsored pro-skaters in and around the shop. A two-story, clean, hardwood floor, and bright white walled space carries everything from Nike, Vans, Adidas, Axion and their own dope line appropriately called FTC. Original, urban inspired artwork is found on t-shirts, skate decks and shoes leaving something of interest for the non-skater as well. A leader in the industry, this SF native has become well-known around the globe. Kanye West recently gave a shout-out on his popular blog regarding FTC’s new collaboration with girl inspired skateboards.
