Palace are an integral part to the UK's streetwear scene. The skate label has grown into its huge success since it first launched, and with such a short lifetime, it's hella impressive just how far its come. Lev Tanju and his merry band of skaters have become a force to be reckoned with, and have collaborations with huge names like adidas Originals and Reebok under their belts, along with collections that sell out without fail, as kids all over the UK show love for the instantly recognisable Palace aesthetic.
You might not associate 100% felted wool bombers, hand-crafted in London with skateboarding, but that's the essence of Palace Skateboards. They love their UK heritage, and they love their skating, and they love the clothes they love. You'll get no apologies for their mix of tracksuits and technical jackets, or their appreciation of craftsmanship and baggy T-shirts from Lev and co., and that's just the way it is.
Spring/Summer 2015 looks to be another stellar collection from the London boys, and something everyone who's into their streetwear should be fucking with. The iconic Tri-Ferg logo makes a comeback, as does the block-letter insignia that's been used so well in recent collections. Graphics, as always, will play a huge part in this collection, with Fergus 'Fergadelic' Purcell sure to have cooked up some mad designs for the summer weather. Beanies and caps seem to be a go, too, with the 7-panel that was introduced last season seemingly making another appearance, only with a strap at the back, rather than a gathered elastic section.
Check out the rest of the lookbook below, and hold tight for the Palace online store to reopen at midnight on Thursday.
