Palace

Palace is a skateboarding label that grew out of frustration with where UK skateboarding was heading. Its founder, the videographer Lev Tanju, decided to cook up the antidote, and Palace became a home for a team of friends with shamanic skateboarding skills. That team has since grown into one of the best in the world. The graphics are a big part of the appeal, with regular graphic masterpieces from Will Bankhead and Fergus Purcell. The brand's own US site greets visitors with the words "Gully Sh*t". You can buy Palace at Slam City, which ships to the UK and bills in pounds.
