"At first glance, skateboards might not seem like a natural extension of Marc Jacobs' design DNA. But that's exactly why this collaboration works. By tapping into the rebellious, expressive ethos of skate culture, Jacobs turns a utilitarian object into a collectible piece of modern art. Each deck takes on the personality of its artist collaborator, merging function with flair in a way that makes the boards feel both street-ready and gallery-worthy."
"SHUT, New York City's first skateboard company, brings authenticity to the project. With decades of credibility in the skate scene, the brand grounds the collaboration in culture rather than letting it float as a fashion-only play. That balance between artistic imagination and skateboarding grit gives the decks an edge that resonates across communities. Derrick Adams: Graphic Balance Derrick Adams' design brings bold geometry into focus. Known for his ability to layer form and identity with intention, Adams presents grounded, neutral-toned graphics that feel contemplative yet dynamic."
Marc Jacobs partnered with SHUT and three artists—Derrick Adams, David Shrigley, and Hattie Stewart—to reimagine skateboards as canvases of unfiltered creativity. The collaboration produced a trio of decks designed to function equally well as skating equipment and gallery-worthy collectibles. SHUT, New York City's first skateboard company, provides cultural credibility and grounds the project in skate culture. Each artist imprinted a distinct aesthetic: Derrick Adams contributes bold geometry and neutral-toned, contemplative graphics that balance precision and play. The project merges fashion, art, and skateboarding, balancing artistic imagination with the grit of street-ready design.
