Spanto’s vibrant persona and distinctive type left an indelible mark, transcending the boundaries of style. His latest act of selflessness, the place he generously donated his upcoming Nike SB collaboration to the whole graduating class of Venice Excessive College, served as a testomony to his generosity and unwavering dedication to the Los Angeles group.

Earlier than passing, Spanto was eagerly anticipating his inaugural Nike SB collaboration which cemented his rising affect throughout the style trade.

Spanto handed away in a deadly automobile accident in New Mexico. RIP.
