Shake Junt: A Skateboarding Institution Born from the Streets

In the gritty, expressive world of skateboarding, few brands have managed to capture the raw essence of the culture quite like Shake Junt. With its roots deeply embedded in the rebellious spirit of street skating, Shake Junt has evolved from a DIY hustle into a globally recognized name that still feels like it belongs to the underground.

🛹 Origins: From Punk Rock Spirit to Skateboard Staples

Shake Junt was founded in 2007 by Shane Heyl, a skater with a vision to create something that felt real—something that spoke to the culture rather than the corporations. The brand’s name was inspired by a song from Three 6 Mafia, and its early days were as scrappy as they come: homemade stickers, iron-on tees, and a crew of skaters who lived and breathed the lifestyle.

It wasn’t just a business—it was a movement. Even during its first 90 days, while Shane was in rehab, the brand kept rolling thanks to the dedication of his crew. That raw authenticity became the foundation of Shake Junt’s identity.
