My new found love of skateboarding and long standing relationship with intriguingly designed products meet head-on, with the release of a set of limited edition boards, by Side Projects for online menswear store Jamboree. This 7-piece collection (one board per design) has been designed in the UK and handmade entirely in the USA by the Houston, Texas-based skateboard team; who specialise in unique, vintage-inspired pieces.
Each board has been handcrafted from start to finish using rich Cherry Maple and Walnut Wood; both chosen for their structural integrity as well as their pleasing aesthetic qualities. Colours and patterns used take inspiration from 60's American Skate + Surf culture, which really does seem like the peak time for exploration and adventure; to have been a kid then hey? I'm determined to teach myself to skate this summer!
The Jamboree x SPS collection will be available 29th May via Jamboree's new "Mercantile" store.
