Eric Dressen Joins MERGE4 as Athlete/Collaborator
MERGE4 is proud & stoked to announce the addition of skateboarding legend Eric Dressen to our family of collaborators creating art-driven socks for countless happy feet around the world.
In May of 2017, Eric Dressen was inducted into the Skateboard Hall of Fame alongside a Mount Rushmore of legendary skaters. Dressen follows iconic photographer Mofo and legend Natas Kaupas as the third Skateboard Hall of Famer to join the ranks of MERGE4 collaborators.
As one of the longest running pros with a career that spans five decades, Dressen has cemented himself as one of skateboarding’s originators, innovators and true legend who is still skating and killing it today.
In the words of Jef Hartsel, fellow skateboarder from the early Venice skate scene in the 80’s:
“Eric Dressen is a ‘Skate Lifer,’ and his skating has been blowing minds throughout his entire skate career. In fact, when I first got to meet him after moving to Venice in the 80’s, I remember being extra stoked inside because I’d known of Eric for many years prior from seeing him in his “Who’s Hot” feature in Skateboarder Magazine when I first started skating back in the 70’s. He was still only 10 years young then, and already riding for Logan Earth Ski, the same skateboard company that sponsored and helped to launch Tony Alva’s skate career during his early years after first turning pro.”
That humble dude now has his first Dressen MERGE4 sock – Skate or Die: “I’m blow away with how rad my socks turned out,” Dressen said. “Thanks so much MERGE4 for doing such an awesome job on them. So stoked!!!!”
