Skateboarding: Decks

STOP IT RIGHT NOW

These decks have been produced by Stop It Right to celebrate the iconic Celine print pieces from their French brands summer collection. The patterns themselves are intricate by also very minimal, taking elements from both ideas and interpreting them into one.








GREG HERVIEUX X ATELIER PALOMARES


Potentially one of the most expensive skate costing €1490. Wrapped in carfully placed gold leaf foil. Something only an expert could produce. Although this piece takes skateboarding out of it's true concept, it creates a new one showing the value of skateboarding as a whole.






SANTA CRUZ
Ahhhh, these are so nice. Such a great collaboration between Santa Cruz and Pabst Brewing company. This is what keeps the design flowing across skateboarding, collaborations take a massive impact in creating stylised pieces of hardware that you just want to own.

HUF AND HAZE


Again another sweet collaboration between the iconic styles of HUF as a brand, and the artwork of Eric Haze. Bold, primary colours, focussing on the old school look of the nineties. Nifty.

MAKE SKATEBOARDS


Custom made skateboards fitted to a gallery to create a exhibited skate shop. Where a number of artists will have the chance to produce there own work. Back to how you were greeted with artwork and not intense branding. Illustration put into practical use.

SASA OSTOJA AND BEN G 


Collaboration between an artist from Amsterdam, with Ben G. The bold useage of vibrant colours throughout show a clear thought of how the deck can be brought to life without the need of a skateboarder itself. I enjoy this. 




HARMONY SUPREME DECKS

'Harmony Korine is a Writer, Director, Filmmaker, and Artist whose work all has a distinct point of view that often highlights youth culture, dysfunctionality, mental disorders, poverty and other social ills. '

Collaborations are always creating that piece of iconic skateboarding design.

DOODAH AND FREJA BEHA ERICHSEN 

Models with skateboards ? Probably one of the coolest collaborations I have seen. Although they can be seen as mildly explicit. The image relates perfectly with the whole skateboarding concept. Showing youth culture with added sex appeal. Nice skate decks.
