Housed under Big Time Distribution alongside Staba’s own SkateMental and Brian Anderson’s 3D Skateboards, Tired celebrates a wealth of skate-centric character - much of which filters down not only from sister-brand by Parra’s quick-witted legacy and iconic Nike SB affiliation, but from California-born Staba’s endearing character and outlandish spirit - think Thrasher’s ‘Skateboarding 101’ and the 10 year old ‘Nervous Breakdown’ edit. Nicknamed Tired as an active reference to artist-come-skater-come-businessman Piet Janssen’s laid-back skate-style, the brand is no stranger to the skate game. Representing a state of mind more than age, ability or anything else, Tired is designed with respect for the die-hards and for those that love the Dutch designer’s kooky sense of contemporary creativity.
Launched in partnership with long-time skater Brad Staba in 2014, Tired Skateboards exists solely to honour the collective’s ode to skateboard veterans, the guys that are aching for days after a skate session and those in the market for a genuine good time. It takes only a flying glance at the ‘70s retro-style drawings, vibrant colourings and hybrid beaked-humans pasted all over the vintage-shaped decks and pastel-toned attire to understand Tired Skateboards’ ties to the great Piet Janssen.
