Apologies if this has been posted, but I haven’t seen it anywhere. Santa Cruz Skateboards has launched a collaboration with Pokemon featuring skateboard decks in blind bags, with holo variations, and gold variations.
One of the funner collabs imo.

Oh that cool. Times like these that I wish I was allowed to skateboard growing up. Always want to get cool skateboard designs, but I’d want to use them.

Its never too late to learn :). If I really want to clear my head I will hop on my board and go for a quick session.

As one of the bigger merch collectors here, I think this is a very fun collaboration. Ive noticed in recent days Pokemon is starting to become a bit more open to these sorts of partnerships, so overall its a win in my eyes if you enjoy this kind of thing.
The whole randomized deck thing though in a pack to me is kind of meh, but again thats just my opinion.

Very cool! I skateboarded for a very short time when I was younger. Maybe a few months but it was always fun to do.

Just wish the designs were more original than stock. Pretty cool mashup though. Just wish the second hand market wasn’t bonkers. Gyarados gold boards are selling for over a grand.
I had my browser open at the release, put a board in my cart, went to check out and it informed me the item was sold out already. Literally out of stock in 10 seconds. I know a local skateboard shop and he has a setup that got him 20+ boards… No clue how that works. Neat release but I’ll never pay those reseller prices for them. I was on the fence at the $108 price, just thought it would look cool on the wall in my office.
