Seven Layer Army

Seven Layer Army is an Indigenous-owned skateboard company based in Laveen, Arizona, just south of Phoenix. It was founded in 2008 within the Gila River Indian Community by a group of friends who grew up skating together. The brand describes itself as more than a skateboard company: it is a community movement rooted in creativity, Native pride, and youth empowerment. Its roots are in the Maricopa Colony (District 7) of the Gila River Indian Community, and it is led by Paul Molina (Maricopa Colony, District 7) and Reuben Ringlero (Komatke, District 6). The company produces skateboards and related merchandise such as stickers, and it organizes skate competitions, demonstrations, and community events across the Gila River Indian Community and beyond. These events include divisions for youth, teens, and adults, and are designed to promote sportsmanship, creativity, and safe skating. Seven Layer Army has partnered with tribal programs, behavioral health initiatives, schools, and community events throughout Arizona to create positive spaces for young people. As a small, community-rooted brand, Seven Layer Army operates primarily in Arizona and the surrounding region. It is not publicly traded and remains independently owned. Its mission centers on bringing people together through skateboarding while creating opportunities for Native youth to express themselves, build confidence, and find community.
