It’s always thrilling when your favorite brand launches a new line of clothing or hardware. It's even better when it's a collaboration with another brand or franchise. 2019 has truly treated us with some fantastic collaborations, and here at SkateHut, we have been listing our top picks so far.
SpongeBob X MOB Grip Tape
Who resides in a pineapple under the sea and now on a skateboard under your feet? It's SpongeBob SquarePants! When Mob released this amazing skateboard grip tape collaboration, our Instagram exploded with excitement. The premium graphics featuring SpongeBob and Patrick on high-quality MOB tape have been incredibly popular!
TMNT X Santa Cruz Clothing and Decks
Santa Cruz never lets us down with their collaborations. The response to their partnership with my childhood favorites, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, was so enthusiastic that it was launched in two phases. In terms of fashion, there were some fantastic tees and long sleeve shirts.
On the skateboarding side, there were some remarkable decks, wheels, grips, and special cruiser decks shaped like the original TMNT movie poster cover.
Hello Kitty X Herschel Bags
The Kitten Queen of kawaii, Hello Kitty, is the second highest-grossing franchise of all time! Since her creation in 1974 and her journey to America in 1976, Hello Kitty has been spreading her ideals of friendship, kindness, and kawaii culture ever since. Herschel's collaboration with Hello Kitty has resulted in a stunning range of bum bags, backpacks, and even a duffle bag, all adorned with Hello Kitty's signature red bow!
Vans X Baker
As big fans of past Vans collaborations like Vans x Toy Story and Vans X Independent, we’re always eager to see who they’ll team up with next. In their latest collaboration, Vans are celebrating another company with deep roots in the skateboarding community - Baker Skateboards. After 20 years of "Giving Skateboarding A Bad Name," Baker and Vans have created a unique collection of sneakers and apparel featuring both companies' branding and the "bad name" slogan prominently displayed across classic Vans styles like the Sk8 Hi, Old Skool Pro, Slip-On, and many others.
Almost X Dr Seuss
Before Dr. Dre, the original rhyming doctor was Dr. Seuss. Almost Skateboards have launched a series of boards with some fantastic graphics in the illustrated style of the classic Dr. Seuss books. From Thing 1 and Thing 2 to Green Eggs & Ham, the classics are represented in deck form. Almost has also released some amazing grip tapes featuring The Lorax.
