"During the height of The Storm I was out skating with Tyrone. We had to stop at his house to get something, the mail showed up and he saw his Osiris check had come. He opened it in front of us, pulled it out and was like 'Six grand? Kibbles, yo, kibbles. This isn’t even worth my time cashing!' And then he ripped it up and threw it away. Such a gangster move." - Louie Barletta
It's not the Sonic Youth album, but the cast of characters that made up the skateboard brand in the mid 1990s. EVOL happened after H-Street had run its course. They also had a shoe and clothing line that later evolved into Osiris.
The design and photography are by Niko Achtipes.
For Louie's quote: Thrasher - April 2021 Volume 42 Number 4
Transworld - May 1996 Volume 14 Number 5
