Grey Skate Mag announces its closure.
Grey Skate Mag has officially announced its closure, marking the end of an era for one of the most influential voices in independent print media. For years, Grey stood as a bastion of London’s raw street scene and a gold standard for minimalist, high-quality skate photography, providing a sophisticated lens through which to view the culture. Its departure leaves a significant void in the dwindling world of physical skate journalism, serving as a poignant reminder of the shifting digital landscape while cementing its legacy as a publication that prioritized artistic integrity and local storytelling over mainstream trends.
“After 16 years, we’re calling it a day. Working on Grey has been a great privilege, but for us, it’s time for a change. We’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone we’ve worked with or who has supported us in any way, including of course our readers and followers. We’ll be saying goodbye here and on greyskatemag.com soon, but we’ll leave our YouTube channel up for the foreseeable future.”
