We will be the first to admit that we were a bit late on this one, but the latest graphic series from Magenta is definitely worth a mention on the site with some of the limited graphics still available.
Magenta’s ‘Winter Boards’ series is made up of two parts, the first from Soy Panday consisting of 7 boards, including one new shape, that feature a selection of illustrated designs inspired by sacred geometry. The second is a special collaboration with 90’s street skateboarding legend Brian Lotti which consists of 3 boards, one being another new shape, adorning custom artwork from the man himself.
Available in extremely limited numbers, you can still pick up styles from the series over at Magenta’s online store and at stockists including Note Shop and Decade Store.
New York’s 5Boro follow up the success of their popular VHS decks with another solid series, this time teaming up with German artist Stefan Marx on a selection of Airline inspired board graphics.
The series consists of 6 deck designs adorning the distinctive illustrative style of Marx. Each illustration makes up an airplane and draws inspiration from 5Boro’s hometown of New York City and its various boroughs, featuring a unique registration number for each design. The 6th board is slightly different. Entitled the ‘JFK’, it has a special illustrated graphic wrap around the plane and features a ‘Big Apple’, pizza slice, NY’s iconic greek coffee cup, snake mascot and Marx’s favourite snack – potato chips or crisps as we call them here in the UK.
All boards are completed with fine details including Marx’s signature eyes in the cockpit windshield, as well as a nice touch on the top of the deck with a special graphic listing the names of all of 5Boro’s pros, ams and immediate crew. A range of special print techniques have been used from 10 colour spot print’s on the JFK to silver foil applications on the Brooklyn Model.
The 5Boro x Stefan Marx ‘Airline Series’ will be arriving in European stores starting from the 15th of February. For more information on the brand head over to their website: 5boronyc.com. Sizes for each deck are below.
