Tony Hawk has partnered with NFT platform Autograph in the past. Autograph is partially owned by Tom Brady and focuses on NFT collections associated with famous sports stars including Derek Jeter, Tiger Woods and Wayne Gretzky.

Autograph will design a collection of Tony Hawk 3D avatars, and his most iconic skateboards, digital gear and apparel for use in the virtual world’s biggest skate park.
