Palace Skateboards has carved out a unique niche in the world of skateboarding and streetwear since its inception in 2009. Founded by Lev Tanju and Gareth Skewis, this London-based brand is not just about skateboards; it’s a lifestyle that resonates with the vibrant energy of urban culture.
What sets Palace apart? It’s their unapologetic embrace of 90s nostalgia, infused with contemporary flair. The skateboard decks themselves are works of art—bold graphics that pop against the backdrop of city streets. Whether you’re cruising down a park path or showing off your latest trick at a local spot, riding on a Palace deck instantly elevates your style game.
But let’s talk about more than just boards. Recently, Palace launched collaborations that have caught the attention of fashion enthusiasts worldwide—from partnerships with Carhartt WIP to UGG and even Cannondale bicycles. Each collaboration reflects an understanding that skating isn’t merely about tricks; it’s also about community and self-expression through fashion.
Take their autumn collection for instance—a blend of practicality and aesthetic appeal featuring GORE-TEX jackets perfect for those chilly days when you still want to hit the pavement. With items like leather gloves, college satin jackets, and animal-printed shirts making waves this season, it's clear they understand what skaters need while keeping them stylishly ahead.
As I scroll through social media feeds filled with colorful lookbooks showcasing these pieces alongside striking skateboard designs, I can’t help but feel excited for what comes next from Palace Skateboards. Their ability to merge functionality with eye-catching design keeps fans eagerly anticipating each new drop—whether online or in-store across various global locations including Japan and Europe.
In essence, riding a Palace board is more than just skating; it’s embracing an attitude—a bold statement reflecting individuality within collective culture. So whether you're an avid skater or simply someone who appreciates good design rooted in authenticity, there’s something undeniably magnetic about what Palace offers.
