Squid Letters: Hand-Painted Skate Deck Series
Elevate your collection with the Squid Letters series, a unique fusion of street art and high-brow skate aesthetics. Each piece in this collection is a one-of-a-kind work of art, meticulously hand-painted by the artist during their time documenting life in Japan.
The Process
Sustainability meets raw creativity in this series. We start with unskated decks, carefully etching off the original painted graphics to create a blank, textured canvas. This process leaves behind a distinctive "documented" feel that serves as the foundation for the new design.
The Design
The collection is anchored by our signature Squid Letters character, a bold and expressive figure inspired by Neo-expressionist principles.
-
Hand-Painted Details: Vibrant pinks and high-contrast blacks are layered with thick, tactile white paint drips for a multi-dimensional look.
-
Authentic Branding: Each deck features the Kaba logo, marking it as part of our exclusive archive of Japanese-inspired street style.
-
Gallery Quality: These decks are as comfortable on an art gallery wall as they are as a centerpiece of your skate setup.
The new Squid Letters series officially releases May 25th, Tokyo time. Browse our current archive of decks and daily ritual-inspired gear until the drop.
