Over the past year, roller skating has taken over. Be it physically seeing professionals and amateurs alike in city parks and open spaces or on social media with mesmerizing choreographies and music, skating culture is finally getting the attention it so deserves. To pay tribute to roller skating’s legacy and cultural impact, Cynthia Erivo – English-born boundary-breaking artist, style icon and Emmy nominated actress – played the role of creative director in partnership with Adobe. Using Adobe’s new collection of Substance 3D design tools to highlight roller skating’s vibrant style, music, community and more as an expression of Black culture and joy the project dubbed Stories on Skates aims to transform these narratives into 3D roller skate designs.
