Gawds is a brand of aggressive skates created by one of the industry’s legends, Franky Morales. A long time pro skater for USD has decided to launch his own brand in cooperation with Powerslide, using their technology but coming up with new design of the boot. It comes no surprise that he modeled their looks after Air Jordan XII shoe, seeing that Franky is a massive sneakerhead and his previous pro-models from USD were also based on the iconic sneaker line. Seeing that Franky’s attitude, life and style are heavily influenced by and related to hip-hop culture, he also aimed to bring more of that street cred into skating.
