Jerry Fowler & Rick Jaramillo.


Demolishing & Destroying.

Dukes expanded the team to include Jerry and Rick in 1997. Jerry was on Rhythm and Rick was riding for Planet Earth at the time. I think these were the only ads each guy had for Dukes. The company wasn't around much longer due to some business shuffling by Steve Rocco. Jerry would go on to ride for Converse while Rick was winding down the pro skateboarding side of his life. These shoes are somewhat bulky and odd looking. They venture out into strange Airwalk territory. In reviewing the models Dukes made, I like the first Jeremy Wray shoe the best.

Chris Ortiz got to go take pictures of skateboarding while Atiba Jefferson was stuck in the office getting photos of the shoes.
