One skateboarder who needs no introduction, Grant Taylor has been tackling all types of heavy terrain for The Swoosh the past 20 years and if you saw him skating today, you’d think the dude was just getting started. Skateboarding is literally part of his DNA.
Nike SB just dropped a limited SB Blazer Low GT to celebrate two decades of radness and it’s available now at select skate shops across the globe. Get a closer look below:

„Grant Taylor’s run with Nike SB has been a heavy 20. Two decades deep, GT’s signature shoe gets a special anniversary treatment, inspired by the aesthetics and craft of fine China plates,“ Nike mentions on their site. „The SB Blazer Low Pro GT breaks tradition by mixing sophisticated materials and patterns with details that are all Grant and all grit.“

If you haven’t already, peep the video above and take a little trip down memory lane through the last 20 some odd years. Grant has been on fire the last two decades, truly never slowing down and constantly giving it his all.
You might think it’s no biggie considering how talented he is—of course he’s always killing it—but skill like that comes with a ton of hard work. The kind that separates the greats from the rest. And Grant is an absolute GOAT.

Back to the shoes—they’re soft yet durable on the outside, „designed with a premium leather construction and subtle embossed details,“ Nike mentions. Yeah, the attention to detail here is something to admire. And while I know it’s pretty common to say something like, cheers to 20 more years or something along those lines, well, this time I really mean it!
Grant Taylor is one of those skateboarders who are here for the long haul. Natural talent. Envious style. Unreal execution. The dude just looks good on a skateboard. He’s one of the rare ones that you can’t help but just sit back and watch if he’s on the session.
Thanks for two decades of absolute inspiration, Grant. Keep your foot on the gas.
