Skate Shop Day - Todd Francis x Black Sheep
Today is global Skate Shop Day. Do we really need to explain why this one's important? If we do then maybe you should pop in and we'll give you a cuddle.
It's obvious to anyone with a brain that Skate Shops are the lifeblood. Instagram might well give you illusory props but without your bricks and mortar skateboard slingers, you're adrift. This year's Skate Shop Day sees us and 46 other skate shops across the UK and Ireland join forces. Thanks to the ever legendary peeps over at DLXSF, we've been blessed, hard.
The artist behind Anti Hero skateboards pigeon logo, (amongst many other iconic graphics) has linked up with us to create some extremely limited proddy to celebrate Skate Shop Day. We are beyond stoked to be involved here and recommend you grab some of this DLXSF Sketchy Skate Shop Appreciation program product from us, or from your own local skate shop.
Deck-wise we have Todd Francis x Black Sheep boards in 8", 8.25" and 8.5" all of which are in strictly limited numbers. If you wanna rep - this is how you do it.
Additionally, we also have t-shirts with the Todd Francis x Black Sheep art work in gold and black, again in limited numbers.
All praise to DLXSF here - lots of brands support independent stores with their lips but not so many with their actions.
On top of the above, we also have shirts with every logo of all the participating UK and Irish skate stores involved in Skate Shop Day so why not buy one shirt and rep every one at once? You know it makes sense.
With the above said - huge love and respect to all our friends and customers across the world. We're only able to do what we do because of what you do. Your support and love is precious to us. Thank you all.
Here's a little insight into the mind of Todd Francis for any of you keen to learn more.
