For Skate Shop Day this year we've been treated to an incredible selection of exclusive Skate Shop Day product from a load of your favorite brands including Grimple Stix, Real, Krooked and more. As it's all about bringing people into skate shops, all this product will only be available in-store from February 18th, so make sure you get down here bright and early if you don't want to miss out on the goodies. Quantities are extremely limited on most of these - particularly the Tony Hawk Grimplestix decks and Krooked Pure Evil Beamers - so speed is of the essence!
Obviously the thing everyone was excited for was the inscrutable DLX mystery decks, but the cat's officially out of the black bag and we can finally reveal the surprise! Inside the ominous black bags is stashed one of the most legendary collabs of all-time: an ultra-limited Tony Hawk Birdhouse x Grimple Stix 'Grimplehouse' deck featuring a Birdman-themed Grimple graphic! With two shapes on offer, the RARE 8.5" popsicle or the ULTRA-RARE 10.14" custom-shaped and hand-numbered version with only 250 in circulation, it's a complete surprise what shape you're gonna get in the bag so may fortune shine on you. These are extremely limited so make sure you get down nice and early if you want one!
Alongside the Tony Hawk Grimple Stix deck, we've also got a new variation of Mark Gonzales' signature Evil Beamer. This absolute whopper of a deck comes in at 10.75" of pure Gonz madness featuring his iconic custom shape with wheel wells and cut-outs exposing the tie-dye woodstain beneath. The new Skate Shop Day Pure Evil Beamer features a sparkly black graphic with a load of Gonz' iconic illustrations in a snazzy silver print alongside the vibrant multi-coloured woodstain.
Real have also treated us to an all-new Ishod Wair Twin Tail deck for Skate Shop Day. With only 870 made in total these bad boys are super limited, and seeing as the Twin Tail is one of Real's most beloved shapes you'll have to be quick to get your hands on one. The Real Ishod Wair Skate Shop Day deck features the return of Ishod's iconic 'Catscratch' scratch off graphic, with symmetrical tigers in a timeless traditional tattoo style - and to make it even more exciting, this limited edition 'Blacked Out' version features all black plies with two purple X-band plies for a proper clean aesthetic that's guaranteed to thrill any ply enthusiast. It even comes with a free poster if that ain't enough! These are super limited, so you better act fast!
