Stranger Things x Santa Cruz collab set to release in 2025. This limited-edition collection merges the nostalgic aesthetics of Santa Cruz’s iconic skate designs with the supernatural elements of Netflix’s Stranger Things.
The collection features a lineup of multicolor, glow-in-the-dark decks, each inspired by characters and themes from the Stranger Things universe.
Enter the Hellfire Pit—an infernal collision of Tom Knox’s original fire pit graphic with the gothic iconography of Stranger Things’ darkest realms. At the heart of this deck is Vecna, surrounded by cult-like Dungeon Masters of doom, all cast in an Upside Down flame ritual. It’s a heavy metal fever dream rendered on seven plies of rideable chaos.
At 10″ wide and 31.3″ long, this deck is a beast. Whether you’re bombing hills or carving deep bowls, this shape gives you room to plant, slash, and destroy.
Flip the lights off, and the board transforms into a glowing hellscape, thanks to detailed multicolor phosphorescent ink that activates the full demon-slaying vibe.
Skaters will love the old-school shape, but collectors will appreciate the storytelling woven into the graphic—a scene pulled straight from the climax of a nightmare campaign. Bring your dice. Burn your fears. This board doesn’t just skate, it summons.
Constructed from 7-ply North American Maple, pressed individually using epoxy for durability and a responsive ride. The glow-in-the-dark features not only enhance their visual appeal but also pay homage to the eerie ambiance of the Stranger Things series.
Santa Cruz Skateboards, nestled in the skateboarder's paradise of Santa Cruz, California, burst onto the scene in 1973. Picture this: Richard Novak, Doug Haut, and Jay Shuirman, probably sporting some epic '70s hairdos, get together and say, "Hey, let's start NHS Inc. and shake up the skate world."Â
With over four decades of skateboarding smarts (that's like, 280 in dog years of skate knowledge), Santa Cruz isn't just a brand; it's a skateboarding legend. Thanks to the mind-blowing graphics from the artist extraordinaire Jim Phillips, their decks are more iconic than a rock star's guitar.
And let's talk about NHS's brand family – it's like the Avengers of skateboarding gear. They distribute the who's who of skate brands: Santa Cruz Skateboards (obviously), Creature Skates for the monster in you, Independent Truck Co. (the backbone of your board), Bronson Speed Co. (because who doesn't like speed?)!
