Fashion. Pbbfffffft!
Near as I can tell, there’s no griptape on this skateboard collaboration between Neiman Marcus, Target, and designer Derek Lam.
Kick, push, coast in style. 10 Crosby Derek Lam skateboard boasts a smart two-tone graphic logo print on top. When you pop an ollie, you’ll show a flash of the underside, which features modern graphic geometric print.

Concave profile with rounded kick tail/nose for urban street cruising.
Lightweight and maneuverable.All hardware (bolts, nuts, kingpin, washers) is golden anodized.
Red, white-walled 52mm polyurethane wheels feature the 10 Crosby Derek Lam logo.
Use of helmet is recommended for safety.

Imported.
Imported you say? I wonder what exotic asian locale they used to make these props?

I followed the link to the product page. $99 bucks for a Target board? A little steep. But zooming on on the picture of the underside, I noticed the kingpin to be very unique… inverted kingpin with domed top and hex head with an allen key slot too. Covering all the bases? And gold colored bolts and nuts all around. Lame, but interesting.
I like that it features a “concave profile and rounded kicknose/tail for urban street cruising.”
What a feature! But will it work for rural street cruising? What about suburban streets? What if I want to do more than just cruise? Can I carouse on this board, too?
“Carousing-enablement copers” are an extra $45….
Finally, something that goes with my white pants!
Last Friday it was already being (chicken)hawked on eBay for $299 – “Not in stores yet!” If I had stones that big, I’d be pulling 900s like kickturns.
Derek Lam or lame ?
You could cut it in half and give it to your bff.
It’s almost 4″ thick?
No, that’d be a description of the head of anyone who buys one. Or maybe just the thickness of the bit of packaging that covers the rear wheels: the Corrugated Anti Road Debris Blemish Obscuring Add-on Retail Display box.
