Glue Skateboards

Glue Skateboards & Clothing

Glue Skateboards emerged in 2020 as a groundbreaking queer-centric skateboard company founded by professional skateboarder Leo Baker, musician Cher Strauberry, and artist Stephen Ostrowski. Launched with a feature in Thrasher magazine in November 2020, Glue quickly established itself as a vital force for inclusivity within skateboarding's traditionally heteronormative landscape.

The brand's mission centers on creating a safe and welcoming space for queer and trans individuals in skateboarding. With Leo Baker's professional pedigree (including co-founding NYC Skate Project) and the collective creative vision of its founders, Glue offers authentic representation often missing from mainstream skate culture. As Baker noted in Thrasher, the brand embraces ""a lo-fi sort of grittiness to the graphics"" with ""major queer influence"" extending beyond skateboarding itself.

Glue's collection features decks and apparel that reflect their commitment to visibility and community-building, products that serve both as functional skateboarding equipment and powerful statements of identity in a culture increasingly embracing its diverse participants.
