## Resource

Paul "P-Rod" Rodriguez is one of the most acclaimed skaters of all-time - and one of the most important. An L.A. native, P-Rod was one of the first high-profile skaters of Mexican descent, opening the doors for a generation of skaters that 'looked like' him. He is also the namesake of the Nike SB P-Rod shoes, helping him become one of the few Nike athletes ever with over ten iterations of his signature shoe. We trace Paul's love for L.A. and the origin story behind one of the biggest and best names in the sport's history.
