SANTA CRUZ ORIGIN
THE BACK IS
THE NEW FRONT
The Snapback was defined by skate, surf, and hip-hop — becoming a symbol of counterculture. But the back never caught up- the generic straps with exposed holes went unchanged for 70+ years... until now.
I rebuilt it with a patented system that transforms the adjustment into something that deserves to be seen. Not to replace the culture. To amplify it, to evolve it.
