worthy of the crown: Up for the Crown: Ryan Sheckler

At the age of 13, he became a professional skateboarder, at 17 he had his own reality tv show on MTV, at 18 he founded his charity foundation, and at 19, he started a clothing line. It's pretty apparent that at only 21 years old Ryan Sheckler is a force to be reckoned with, but is his clothing line, RS by Sheckler, worthy of the crown?

RS by Sheckler was launched just in time for the back-to-school shopping in Fall 2009. It consists of graphic t-shirts, hoodies, thermals, woven tops and denim ranging from $12-$55 for both boys and young men. When talking about his line, Sheckler says "Skateboarding is my life and skating in something comfortable and stylish is a must. Ultimately, my goal is to take the clothes that my friends and I enjoy wearing and make them available to a larger audience at an affordable price". Being avaliable at places like JCPenney and Pac Sun, I would say Sheckler definitely accomplished what he went out to do. Taking a look at the line I would say it's overall a pretty decent line; I really like the red flannel shirt and the basic polos with the color detail on the placket. I have to say though, the argyle polo with contrasting sleeves and collar was quite the blunder. But other than that little mistake, it looks pretty much like all the other action sportswear clothing lines out there, just with a little flair with the RS signature logo on them. It was a nice touch to add in the polo shirts into the line, those aren't usually a staple in skate clothing but I think it added a little class to the line, so way to go on that one Ryan.

It's no secret that Sheckler is one of the hottest guys out there in the action sports world and well anything to make your man look anything remotely like him is definitely a plus, but sorry Ryan, I can only give you 3 crowns! After a little google searching, the RS by Sheckler line is no where to be found on the Pac Sun website and is all on clearance on the JCPenney website! I think with a little revamp and maybe a sweet fashion show/skate launch party we could get this line up to 5 crowns in no time :) What do you think Shecks, up for the challenge?
