About Human Recreational Services
From skateboard to luxury footwear. Human Recreational Services (HRS) is the label of Erik Ellington, who started his own footwear brand in Los Angeles in 2017 after 35 years as a professional skateboarder. HRS makes handcrafted luxury shoes for “acts of leisure” — inspired by the people, places and cultures his skate career brought him into contact with.
Not a skate brand. Ellington is clear about that: HRS is not a skate brand, even though the skate community is at its foundation. The shoes combine utilitarian comfort with an individual, slightly raw elegance, far removed from the usual skate codes.
Craftsmanship and detail. The focus is on construction: handcrafted, high-quality models that place the brand among luxury footwear labels. Available from retailers including Ssense and The Webster, HRS grew into a sought-after name in the premium segment.
