These two brands have long been affiliated with one another. Going back to the original RVCA skate team which consisted of then BAKER team riders Leo Romero, Brian Herman and Kevin “Spanky“ Long. Today RVCA and BAKER share some of the most influential and creative street skaters so it was only nat-ural to collaborate on a limited line of clothing. Closely designed with the boss himself and PM Tenore, inspired by the Baker team and their roots in skate culture.
