Thirty years. 🎈
Crazy, right? Maybe it doesn’t seem that wild to you—plenty of brands have existed for more than a few decades—but to us, this is special. Not sure if you’ve noticed, but it’s not easy for a media company to hang around these days. So far, we’ve done it. And to be honest, we’re damn proud of it, so we’re going to celebrate TF out of it this year. That celebration kicks off with this issue.
We devoted the majority of our new issue to recognizing a group of players who helped SLAM become what it is today. It’s technically not 30 individual players, but rather 30 entries, with a few entries including people who needed to be acknowledged together (Q-Rich and D-Miles; the Ball Brothers; you get it). And then we compiled 30 young players we think have a chance to be on the next version of this list, because we always look forward while we celebrate the past.
Speaking of that celebration, we’ve got a lot more coming this year. We don’t want to spoil anything, but let’s just say it includes IRL events, sneaker collabs, apparel collabs, digital content, an amazing new print product and more.
In other words: the celebration will hit every single thing we do. We’re putting our full energy behind this anniversary, because in our world, 30 years is no joke.
