Awhile back, German photographer, Kai Von Rabenau came to Hong Kong to shoot a fashion editorial for one of our favorite magazine’s LoDown Magazine.
It was about Hong Kong through the eyes of Know1edge. Kai wrote that we knew our “dirty little back alleys, dark corners and hidden skategrounds like no other” but, by the time we got to the photo-shoot, Kai was taking us around our neighborhood to spots that we’ve never seen before.
Thanks for that Kai and thank you to Warren AKA WZA, Chun Chai, Kenny of 8...Read more

I’ve known Anthony for quite sometime now. He wasn’t the first filmer that came through China bringing mad pros but he’s definitely responsible for spreading the word about how dope Hong Kong and China are for skateboard spots and I’m psyched that he does that cause I got love for Hong Kong and China, especially Hong Kong.
Actually Hong Kong has a lot of dope spots but a lot of them are now banned for skateboarding with extra guards, extra cops and some stupid skate stoppers. So automatically, Shen Zhen (China; which is about 45 m...Read more
Vans Vans and Vans, it’s the shit right now, it’s been the bomb since 1966. It’s hard to avoid it, come on now, agree with me, it’s the most classic footwear brand from the US and again, agree with me, if your outfit doesn’t fit Vans classics, there must be something wrong with it. I know for a fact that heads that work at stripes and the swoosh also wear Vans. If the big corporate allow them to wear whatever they want to wear, you would see more Vans around plus…wouldn’t it look more appealing if designers were allowed to wear whatever they wanted t...Read more
It went back to the year 2002 when the OG, the real Zoo York team came to Hong Kong (Jeff Pang, Eli Gesner, Todd Jordan, Danny Supa, Anthony Correa, Forrest Kirby, RB Umali and the young Zerred Basset) came to Hong Kong for their first time, it was a good time. Heard a lot of crazy New York OG skateboarders stories from Harold Hunter ‘R I P’ to Jumonji to this guy Dave, they called him crazy Dave. Jeff was telling me that Dave was a very cool cat but crazy and told me that I had to meet him.
Now, Zoo York’s changed, I s...Read more
HUF aka Keith Hufnagel is one of the pioneers of street skateboarders.
Originally from the East he moved to Frisco to pursue his dreams! He used to be recognized not only by his amazing fast skateboarding with pop for days but also that mushroom blonde hair that he rocked on the daily.
Keith opened up a sneaker shop in San Francisco called HUF and from all the respect he received and his skateboard background, HUF has been collaborating with many respected sneaker brands out there. Keith certainly paved his way and HUF de...Read more

Our Know1edge Japan riders flew in to discuss the long awaited “Life” photo-exhibition showcasing photographs from the top international Skateboard photographer’s.
In between running around we found ourselves in an arcade & played a few rounds to see if we’ve still got it
The Nike AM team finally got a chance to spend a day in HK…
Tears may be flowing on the inside but, Stefan Janoski is always smiling even after a huge fall and even when a crazy cab driving gives them the run around…he’s just a nice guy!
We went over to China to meet up with the Nike SB am team.
Here are some of the unusual sights that you can only see while in china…
