The Gonz Abides: Art Supply Shopping & $1 Pizzas with Mark Gonzales

Get the latest from HYPEBEAST TV by hitting the SUBSCRIBE button!
Mark “Gonz” Gonzales is a downtown legend and a creative dynamo; his newest frame with sunglass specialists RETROSUPERFUTURE is just the latest in a long line of collaborations that range from Supreme to adidas, SEE SEE to New Era, but The Gonz makes sure to never step in the same river twice. Sitting in an art supply store in Soho, he mused on his creative process: “I wanna do things that haven’t been done yet, use new materials, do things new.” This philosophy applies across the board - be it shoes, skate-decks or citrus-orange shades, Gonzales makes sure to strike from a place of pure creativity and originality.

Slices @ Prince St. are not 1$, but they are mad good. Maybe the Gonz gets the special legend deals.

[@BeachBumsk8]

[@ImTooAbstract]

That's a pretty nice-looking spot for $1 pizza

[@ErosDavid]

[@kodu3844]

+Eros David it used to be

[@jacobb978]

+ImTooAbstract Prince street pizza, it aint $1, but it is the best.

[@TheJordimack]

Theres actually a pic of Gonz on their wall of celebrities and it was taken the same day they were making this vid, same clothes and board

[@CrowClouds]

[@iglooproductions]

If I owned the pizza place Mark would always eat free.

[@harrisquicksilver6595]

Gonz u are the Original original... I have been sk8ing your board for 25 years. I have two of the big face(nose) decks from the early 2000's. I'll never sk8 another board. You inspire the people who inspire the people who are inspired the most!

Lol the hypebeast “culture” probably has no idea who the gonz even is because lets be real, most are just posers who abide by what other people tell them they should think is cool.

[@SP-zj3iu]

[@alexcorona]

John Jacob they dont deserve to even know who he is.

[@ibrahimislam1608]

[@jadenrojas5281]

Facts

[@Yallryknotfgoinon]

Why are you trying to be different so hard? So what if people have no idea who he is, if they liked this video they may get to know him. Why not see it positively

[@the6ig6adwolf]

I wonder how often Gonz goes into a store and the clerk mistakes him for a homeless weirdo?

[@leahaugustine1365]

Lol

[@luismunozmeilan9738]
