Whether you skate ā€˜em or hang ā€˜em on the wall, thereā€™s no denying skate decks have a long history as art pieces. Brands and professional skateboarders have been using them for decades to tell stories, to make statements about culture, and as a canvas for original and thought provoking designs.Ā Ā 

Weā€™ve scrolled through hundreds (maybe thousands) of the best skateboard decks on StockX to bring you this list of our favourite skateboard decks.

Favourite Skateboard Decks Burberry

Supreme Burberry Skateboard Deck Beige

Thereā€™s so much to unpack here. Luxury fashion house Burberry teaming up with Supreme for a collection in early 2022 is the ultimate collision of street style and high end fashion. Itā€™s a beautiful dichotomy, isnā€™t it? Sweaty kids bombing rails mixing with the elite of the fashion world.Ā 

The Supreme Burberry Skateboard Deck Beige is so much more than Burberryā€™s iconic plaid applied over a deck; itā€™s a statement on the merging of cultures, an acknowledgement of brands like Supreme as innovators, and maybe even of skateboardingā€™s acceptance into the upper echelons of society.Ā 

It also looks cool. Did I mention that?

Favourite Skateboard Decks Palace

Palace Elton John Baller Skateboard Deck

Millions of people around the world would be familiar with Elton Johnā€™s famous performance at LAā€™s Dodger Stadium in 1975, when he performed to a packed out crowd while wearing a rhinestone encrusted Dodgers outfit. But what they might not know is that before the show, Sir Elton spent hours backstage working on his kickflip.

OK we donā€™t know if thatā€™s true, but we do know Palace knocked this entire collection out of the park. The Palace Elton John Baller Skateboard Deck features a depiction of a young Elton in Palace uniform, and is sure to be an instant talking point wherever you take it.

Best Skateboard Decks Polo

Polo Ralph Lauren Preppy Bear Skateboard Deck (Edition of 100)

Ralph Laurenā€™s iconic Polo Bear character has graced many products in his time, and now heā€™s getting on the skateboarding wave with the Polo Ralph Lauren Preppy Bear Skateboard Deck. This deck was part of a 7-deck release in December 2021, and features Polo Bear dressed for success in school themed blazer and tie, with what Iā€™m assuming is a wool-cashmere sweater tied nonchalantly around his waist. His expression says, ā€˜I can hear you, but that doesnā€™t mean Iā€™m listening to youā€™, while pocketed paws hint at early stage teen rebellion, or perhaps just self-consciousness at lacking opposable thumbs.

Best Skateboard Decks Travis

Travis Scott Cactus Jack Paisley Skateboard Deck

Released to coincide with the drop of his coveted Nike SB Dunk Low, this Travis Scott Cactus Jack Paisley Skateboard Deck has quickly become a sought after collector’s item. Each deck features a paisley pattern complete with Cactus Jack logos throughout, and will also wear away as you skate it to reveal additional branding on the bottom.

Supreme Ol’ Dirty Bastard Skateboard Deck

There are so many Supreme decks on StockX that itā€™s honestly hard to pick just one. But if I had to, it would be this absolute classic featuring the late great Olā€™ Dirty Bastard. The deck features the artwork from ODBā€™s iconic “Return To The 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version” in a repeated pattern. Itā€™s worth noting that youā€™re doing so much more than repping ODB and Supreme when you hit a set of stairs on this deck; youā€™re nodding your head to a defining era of New York hip hop.

Kith x Coca Cola Pendleton Logo Skateboard Deck

Kith is known for their propensity for high-profile collaborations. After prior successful collaborations with Coca-Cola, the streetwear stalwart once again teamed up with the soft drink giant for a new capsule collection. While the collaboration heavily featured apparel items, several accessories were also released. Among the favourites was the Kith x Coca Cola Pendleton Logo Skateboard Deck Tucson Teal. It features a recognizable Pendleton pattern with the Coca-Cola logo printed in the middle.

Supreme Stickers Skateboard Deck

Yo, you found it! I like to drop a steal in these features for all the heads paying attention, and right now the Supreme Stickers Skateboard Deck is going for cheap on StockX. Paying homage to their storied sticker archive, Supreme released a set of three sticker-inspired skateboards for the week 1 release of their Spring/Summer 2021 season. The Supreme Stickers Skateboard Deck Pink features a pink skateboard deck with various Supreme stickers referenced on the bottom, such as Spinach, Gonz Ramm, Screw, Chicken Dinner, and much more.
