What Route One is known for
UK skate-culture retailer founded in 1989 and based in Bristol; among Britain's oldest surviving skate shops, now with about ten UK stores and an online range of over 9,000 items spanning skate shoes, decks, and brands like Carhartt WIP and Dickies.
Route One was established in 1989 and is still owned and run by the people who founded it, according to its own site. It describes itself as one of the oldest street/skate stores in the UK, originally specializing in BMX, skateboard, inline skate and ATB equipment, operating out of a warehouse and stores based in Bristol. The company has since grown into a multi-channel retailer with roughly ten physical UK store locations alongside an online shop carrying more than 9,000 products, spanning skate shoes from brands like Nike SB and New Balance, apparel from Carhartt WIP, Dickies and Butter Goods, and its own in-house Route One-branded clothing.
