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.
The Salba Demogorgon is what happens when a Santa Cruz legend goes toe-to-tentacle with the apex predator of the Upside Down.
Steve Alba’s classic flaming panther graphic gets ripped apart and reassembled by the clawed terror of Hawkins—the Demogorgon—now front and center, jaws open wide in a gnashing vortex of teeth and telekinetic dread.
Creeping flames, toxic slime, and a dozen tiny silhouettes of terrified kids trapped in silhouette adorn the edges. Once the lights go out, this board erupts in radioactive chaos, glowing with wild color-shift ink and revealing hidden figures clawing for escape.
Measuring 10.1″ x 31.1″, it’s a solid pool shape that’s as good under your feet as it is above your mantel. Wide, curvy, and ready to destroy.
Whether you’re a Salba superfan, a horror-head, or someone who just wants a deck that looks like it’s possessed, this one’s calling you to ride.
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?)!
