Kingston “King” Reeves has been shaping decks and skating vert since backyard pools were still the move, and Reeves Vert Co., started in 2016, is his archive of every grip-tape doodle and deck graphic he never got to ship commercially back then.

King runs the designs through an actual sun-bleaching process — test sheets sit in his backyard for weeks before a design is finalized, so the faded look is the real thing, not a preset.
