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.
Step into the thunderous distortion of the Upside Down with the Meek Slasher Eddie—a molten mash-up of Keith Meek’s legendary 1980s “Slasher” graphic and the roaring energy of Stranger Things’ ultimate metalhead, Eddie Munson. With a zombified tongue-lashing lizard gripping a warped B.C. Rich-style axe, this board rips right through the Vecna-verse with unapologetic flair.
Built on a 10.1″ x 31.13″ classic shape, this deck is not just a tribute—it’s a resurrection. The artwork literally glows with multicolor radioactive brilliance, revealing a hidden Hellfire Club-style message under low light. Crafted for collectors and pool warriors alike, the wide platform offers serious foot real estate for transitions, ditches, and backyard vert revival.
The Slasher has always been one of Santa Cruz’s most iconic graphics—but this rework turns up the amps to eleven. Whether you hang it on your wall or drop into a deep bowl this one hits hard.
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."
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?)!
