Tactics | Kevin Kowalski Signature Portal Pants

Introducing the Tactics Kowalski Signature Double Knee Portal Pant.

To design the perfect pants for Kevin Kowalski, one must create something which cannot be restrained by gravity nor friction. Flexible and durable. Light but not flimsy. Allows one to rip, but stops itself from ripping. Tactic’s only choice was to boldly step through a cognitive portal, beyond the familiar realm of denim, and into the vast expanse that is Kevin’s mind.

The newest rider for Faces Skate Shop, Jaws explains his choice to buy a house in Arizona, where he grew up, and not plant new roots in California. Simply put, it’s where he feels comfortable, and he’s also able to make an impact of a different sort for the skate community. Reflecting on the days before social media, Jaws remembers the endless days of making edits with his homies—a special time that he still cherishes, and hopes to instill with others.

Jaws also gets us up-to-date with his recent knee injury, a torn ACL and meniscus. To all the people that told him, “You got to be careful, you’re going to be hurting when you’re older.” He didn’t listen and he’s glad he didn’t. So are we.
